Live Something
"He lives a disaster every week."
"He lives in a disaster every week."
"He lives through a disaster every week."
They seem same to me. Could they be subtly different to native speakers?

Let's say the "disaster" has to do with loans coming due every week. So modifying my examples:
"He lives a brand-new financial disaster every week."
"He lives in a brand-new finanical disaster every week."
"He lives through a brand-new financial disaster every week."
"He lives a brand-new financial disaster every week."
"He lives in a brand-new finanical disaster every week."
"He lives through a brand-new financial disaster every week."
