Wherever

He buys things and then sells them at a profit. He sells his services. He does all kind of different things to get by financially.

How would you write the following?
Is 'wherever' the correct word? Is the sentence natural?
He tries to make money wherever he can, whether it's skimping on things he buy or selling his services.

Thank you

" That's OK. The only problem I have is the "wherever" itself: is it a conjunction or an adverb (or sort of an adverbial conjunction)?

He tries to make money wherever/however he can, whether it's skimping on things he buys or selling his services.

Does wherever refer to a location in "He tries to make money wherever/however he can, whether it's skimping on things he buys or selling his services."?

Thanks

In that sentence, 'wherever' can refer to locations or situations or conditions; 'however' refers to methods. I added 'however' because it seemed more usual.
