I would say either (somewhat informal): I don't have the exact same five white shirts. Each is a bit different. Or (more formal): I don't have five white shirts that are exactly the same.

I used the condensed form: live off what ...
Perhaps it would make more sense to you if I gave the fuller wording: live off of what ...

The first is okay. You are making money to live on. "to live on" explains what kind of money.
