[#1500] Ancestor's occupation

[Gjest Ronald DeWitt]

I have located an ancestor living in Spangereid during the 1900 census. His occupation (Yrke) is listed as "Lever af sine Midler. Inderst". The few words that I can find in the dictionary don't help much. Will someone kindly provide an English translation?

[Gjest Yngve Nedrebø]

"Inderst" is a lodger, "Lever af sine Midler" indicates he made his living of his independent means.

Thank you. My ancestor was 75 years old at this census, so I would take it that this is consistent with his retirement.
