Quick Supernatural Question

Credit card fraud, pool hustling for the most part.
I imagine some of the people they help occasionally chip in, and I'm certain they are not averse to rifling the wallets of people who get turned into vampires and such.

Yeah, I saw the pool hustling in a few scenes, though it is of course much harder to find a game for significant money in reality than Hollywood would make you think. I'd be willing to bet that if someone researched it, they'd conclude that 90+% of bar pool games are for no stakes or for posession of the table. Most people would find a stranger wanting to play for $100+ to be silly/sketchy.
Most people would also find vampires to be a bit sketchy, but there we go.
Anyway, it's mostly credit card fraud. In earlier seasons which you have not seen, one of the reasons they pop up on the FBI's radar screen is their penchant for commiting felonies by spending other people's money.

Their finances are definitely, definitely not depicted in a realistic way, but (at least IMO) the show makes enough effort to present it convincingly that I was willing to suspend my disbelief over it.
And hey, if the FBI already has them on the Most Wanted list as crazy serial killers, they can't bring much more heat onto themselves with a little fraud, right?
Ok, I am just getting caught up on the series Supernatural on Neflix streaming. I elected to start with season 4 and have enjoyed seasons 4 and 5 (now watching S6). I do have one quick question that may have been answered in an early season. Where do Dean and Sam get their money? Did they get a giant nestegg early on or is it Hollywood plot magic. I know they aren't exactly 'living large', but they do sometimes throw cash around like it doesn't really mean anything and gas ain't free, and they put some ridiculous miles on the Impala.
