How do most wizards live day-to-day?

Yes, but that creates change, and old-school wizards hate change.
First of all, they couldn't stay in one place for too long, unles it's a secluded place or a multimillion people city because people would start to freak out. Second, getting a new identity is kinda hard, depending on where you live and how much are you willing to break the law. It also requires resources and contacts, mortal contacts.
Too much trouble, imo.
And that got me thinking, what date of birth is on Ebs drivers licence?

Do we even know that he has one? He is old enough that he might have learned to drive before there were licenses...

I think most states require them now, so he'd have to have a valid one with a fake year of birth. Either that, or he uses the Blackstaff to get away with mind wammies every time he gets a ticket.

That's what I was going for. Mundane stuff and wizards don't go well together.
Mr. Death:
I think it's been mentioned a couple times (possibly by Harry) that there can be and are wizards who use their magic to make a crapload of money in ways that might be stretching legality or ethics in the mortal world. Buying and selling information, using magic to stack the odds at a casino, summoning demons for lottery numbers, etc.
So long as you're not breaking the Laws of Magic, the White Council doesn't care one bit what else you're doing with your magic. Harry's perpetual near poverty is mostly self-flagellation on his part. Case in point -- he could've made a mint signing on with Marcone.
