Two H.C. Robbins-Landon books also bear this out. "1791, Mozart's Last
Year" and "The Mozart Essays" have material which shows that Mozart was
at least feeding and housing his family, and was starting to do pretty
well just before he died. He wasn't getting rich, but h wasn't on the
street, either.
