Obviously everyone's financial situation is different and SS payments can vary greatly, but wanted to get other perspectives.

Unless you inherited house with low taxes IMO no. Somebody on low income with no saving would be hard to come up with 3K taxes yearly average, plus homeowners insurance. Including vehicle even more expenses. Then, got to $230 plus monthly amenities/utilities and unforeseen costs like roof, water heater, A/C. IMO you would have have retirement income of 50,000 plus.
