Most people were not making money as they headed on the trails west. They brought what they had with them, and if they needed something they could trade for it at a trading post. If someone needed to make money they could do any number of odd jobs, sell their supplies, or perhaps offer to ferry another person's wagon across a river.After the Mormons had established settlements in Utah, they made money by offering supplies and lodging to travelers on the Oregon and California trails.

The "Oregon Trail" was not, literally, a single trail, it was any path taken to get from Missouri, Iowa or Nebraska to Oregon. It doesn't make a lot of sense to ask how wide it was, because different travelers followed slightly different routes.

It took the pioneers 3-6 months, to take each and everyone in that family to make it through the Oregon trail. Each day they had to make sure everyone was okay. The Sager family was one of the families that faced the Oregon trail. They once had no idea of how much famine (lack of food or water) they had and ate from the flour they brought.
The Mormon trail was taken by a religious group commmonly called the Mormons. They were fleeing religious persecution in the eastern united states and walked to Utah - the path they took is often called the Mormon trail. The Mormon battalion trail is different. The government drafted a couple thousand Mormons to fight in the Mexican American war. The battalion trail is the trail they walked from Utah down through Arizona and into san Diego. They basically just walked there, they never saw a battle or fired a shot. They were allowed to return home around 3 years later.
