OP post is still “can you live on just SS”, and yes one could, my guess is some wouldn’t describe their life as squeaking by. But living within their budget, just like they did prior to moving to TV. We don’t eat out multiple times a a month, because food in the bubble is just mediocre, and can be made better at home. I find many 80yo plus in my parents age are happy with their lifestyle even if those think they live with less than others.
