go through life doing something

Marks a habit as the shape of your life rather than today's activity: 그래서 선풍기를 틀고 살고 있습니다 'I live with the fan running', 거실에 커튼 치고 살고 있습니다. 뭐 먹고 살다 and 뭐 하고 살다 are the everyday way to ask how someone is getting by — 지 박사, 조 박사님은 요즘 뭐 하고 살아? Note the difference from 게 살다, which puts a manner word ('happily', 'like this') in the same slot instead of an action.
