In reply to the discussion: Any ideas for living off a social security benefit of only $680 a month? [View all]RebelOne
(30,947 posts)12. I wish you luck. I am living on $1400 a month social security,
and it is not easy. I own a mobile home and pay lot rent of $400 monthly that includes garbage pickup and water. The only other bills are for cable, internet, phone, electric and car insurance and one credit card, but I still run short by the end of the month. Fortunately, I have some savings that I can draw from. I am going to have to move into my son's house soon to save some money.
