I am also going to add that if you have a cell phone, ps3, high speed internet service, eat out instead of at home etc etc then you are not poor. I am sick in tired of the people around me living beyond their means then wanna claim they are poor. Quit getting loans for things you cant afford. Quit living to impress your friends and see how much better off you can be.


I saying all this as I sit here unemployed. I have never made more than 45k a year yet some how I managed to save enough money not to go to the government for help or cry and whine that I don't have enough money to live my life. I was a high school drop out at the age of 15. Yet i have imo opinion been very successful by working hard and not spending more than I have made. It can be done I am proof of it.

I see people getting 5k plus tax returns because of earned income credit and a month later they are in the same boat they were before the check in the mail. It truly makes me sick.
