I have to say no, you cannot make a living as a freelance Web Developer.

In order to make a living, in addition to being a freelance Web Developer you would also need to be a freelance:

-Salesman
-Marketer
-Accountant
-Billing Technician
-Manager
-Collections Agent

You can always outsource more or one of the above, but then you're not really freelancing; you're starting a company. This is why in my opinion it takes a very special and dedicated person to excel in the freelance market.
