How much income per year (in any major currency, e.g. Australian dollar, US dollar, pound, yen, etc) is enough to cover the bare essential goods that keep you alive, that is, food, water, and shelter?

My friend believes AUD 5,000 per year is enough, ,500 to pay for food (mainly fruits from a supermarket) and ,500 to pay rent for a unit in a country town.
