If I absolutely needed to, yes. I'm also assuming that this is with no assistance from anyone at all. If you're allowing for assistance then yes I definitely can because I can stay at my family's residence.

I live off double that, and just barely. So I'd say absolutely not.

If I was living with parents that didn't make me pay rent, then sure. Also they would I have food. But I'd be a leech.

US$780 works out about NZ$1080

I get NZ$270 a week, so that is close, though overall that would be a drop of NZ$1080 a year

Back in the days I lived off of about $650/month living alone (my rent was like 450 bucks or whatever).

These days, 780 is just a little over my electricity bill + my HoA dues, and a ridiculously tiny fraction of my mortgage payments. So not even in close.

Of course, if I was willing to go back to a more...modest lifestyle, I could do it (would have to leave the city though!). I'm particularly fond of instant ramens anyway. Probably will get sick from lack of nutrients, but I should be able to last a few months before that happens :)

Not a chance.

My mortgage payment is in the mid to high 800s, then I have to worry about my utilities, phone, and credit card bills as well as gas for my car and groceries on top of that.

if I could find someone who'd let me live with them and I just pay them rent or split the bills maybe. i'm cheap when it comes to stuff like groceries and unneeded things, cept booze, I do drink, I drink cheap shit but still. I could live without the internet if need be and I don't need a fancy phone plan just basic stuff.

I didn't want to start a new game while I was here. I kinda wanted to start FF 13 lightning returns but I didn't bring my 360 and if I had played it on his I wouldn't be able to keep my save file. bought the game like a year ago and haven't really touched it, the time limit thing bummed me out, but i'm sure i'll get over if I just give it a good go. I know a lot of people didn't like the 13 games, but as far as i'm concerned almost all FF games are at least worth a play, some just perhaps might be worth waiting till it hits the bargain bin

I brought several fighting games, but anymore I gotta be drunk to really enjoy those since I don't play online, and well can't drink since i'm babysitting

Time limit? I've only been able to play the first game but want to play the others. At this point I would need to play them on Steam though.

yeah lightning return gives you a time limit. there was something you could do to temporarily stop time from moving if I recall. but it was a bit of a turn off for me cause in rpgs I have a major tendency of lollygagging. I mean the time limit does sort of fit the story if I recall I think you 13 days till the end of the world or some crap like that.

As a sole income with no entitlements of any form? Outside the US, easily. There are a lot of countries with a far lower COL where that would be higher than what the average earns. In the US, it'd have be a reasonably warm state since you'd be living outdoors or in a car. Or you'd be rooming with and relying on a pretty large group, which is doable in some communities although it's a shitty living arrangement.

I could get a room, and have $130 left for food and phone. So about $40 for food. Barely manageable and arguably a case with human rights.

No, welfare/disability is not enough to live off of.
