Yes the ones I know do it full time as their only income AFAIK. Most do live in low cost of living areas, none of them that I know are living in places like San Fran :)

Ah, indeed low CoL helps a ton.

I would say only 10-15% of our reports were from folks in the USA and I don't recall any being full time. The dedicated folks were mostly from eastern europe and middle east...i'm guessing that has changed a bit over the past few years.
