Probably not Pat. It's a tough existence. Just owning a computer and having an ISP would be impossible with SS as your ONLY income. Lots of folks say they live on SS, but then kinda fail to mention the savings, and the interest from those savings, plus the outside help from friends and family that they fall back on to get them thru the tough spots. My wife's grandmother lived on social security combined with interest earnings from her meager savings account. She actually did very well because she had lived a lifetime of pinching pennies and making do with very little. She went to bed when the sun went down, kept her heat turned low, no AC in the summer, no car, water heater turned off, and she had family to look out for her. Even unplugged her TV (a gift) when not in use because it had instant on circuitry. She died about 1995, when it was not unusual to draw 6% interest on your savings. It would have been a lot different if she were alive today and drawing 1% interest or less. It always gripes me when someone discounts the poorer folks in our society. I know there's a lot of slackers in this country, but a lot of poor poeple have worked hard all their lives, only to have some misfortune knock the props out from under them. I've seen it in my own family.
