I believe I have an explanation.

First, it seems that time moves faster in Equestria, and going through the mirror seems to make the person/pony the age they would have been had they been in that world (hence why Twilight and Sunset became teenagers). In Equestria, Sunset should be in her mid to late twenties, and therefore has more life experience in matters such as making a living. I always assumed she learned how to live on her own in Equestria, and simply applied those same skills to the human world. Even in real life, there are teenagers that live on their own.

Besides, Sunset's house isn't that big. Just a simple, small, 2 story house, which is practically almost just one giant room. And if you look at some of her things, they seem like they might be second hand stuff. For example, if you look at her alarm clock in Monday Blues, it has cracks in it, suggesting that it's second hand, as a lot of her possessions might be.

Also, she probably eventually brought all her money and everything from Equestria to the human world. Even if she couldn't actually use bits for currency in the human world, she could still sell them off as "rare coins" or something. Heck, bits are even made of gold, so that alone makes them worth something in the human world. Gems are very common in Equestria too while worth a lot in the human world, so she probably had bunch of those to that she brought sold off in the human world to. Heck, taking all that into consideration, she should be even better off than how she's portrayed to be, especially with such a promising future from how famous she's getting with her music, her game stream channel, and her art work.
