It says "month". Is it still okay?
If not, this sentence should be deleted.

Hand to month?

Simply change it to "mouth". "From hand to mouth" is the common expression.

live (from) hand to mouth

Because there's already an English sentence (here in grey), the best way would be to connect the Japanese and German sentences with that one and delete this English sentence, because it's superfluous.
