I dont understand how someone can claim they are in debt, gets foodstamps, and has the smallest limit to spend on their children but also spend thousands on theirself. Shouldn't you take care of your kids and bills before? I mean, i collect foodstamps, but thats because after paying all our bills and taking care of our children's needs, we still need a little help. Anything we do for fun is saved up for, or is free. But we arnt going to spend thousands out of spite, greed or bordem.
I get so upset when people don’t prioritize and complain and moan ab not having enough money or being in debt.. ok Jan, maybe if you stopped wasting your money on frivolous crap!
Growing up we would have an empty fridge and my mom would go out to meals w her church friends. Those people should have asked my mom where her kids were. I was so upset and hurt by it growing up. I don’t ever want to do this to my children. I never would.
Noooo, spending any money on your children would simply be stupid. I mean, kids need to get a job and make money if they want cool things.. I shouldn’t have to spend my money on them! Greedy things. 🙄
(This was total sarcasm for anyone who couldn’t tell and was about to jump on me like flies on shit😂)
I have food stamps. I have a pair of sneakers that were like $15 on amazon and Sandles from Walmart $10. Haha. My kids get clothes or shoes before I do. I do have an iPhone but it’s a refurbished 6s from amazon. $150 I got a year ago. I can’t in good conscience spent a ton of money on myself knowing my kids deserve more than I do.
Exactly. They have everything they need, and anything they want, they do chores and do firewood with their dad to earn it. Theyve learned nothing is free
@mommy-xl, yes exactly. Mine are still young but they do have age appropriate chores. They earn hearts, if they fill the jar by the end of the week then they get something special.
@mommy-xl, kids in this generation are growing up feeling entitled, they should learn that you have to work for everything nothing is free
It’s definitely ridiculous. Sadly, it’s the kids who end up suffering. Some people need a reality check and need to learn how to prioritize better. Blows my mind how one would prioritize spending thousands on unnecessary, flashy crap instead of on food/clothes for his/her children. Food stamps/benefits are for people in need of financial assistance not for people who have the means to feed their family but choose not to 🙄 Its pathetic. People like that need a good butt kicking lol but for right now, I will just pray for them. 😬
@mommy-xl I've been doing alot of chicken myself and veggies that you are allowed to eat
@householdceo you can do anything with chicken. Its great lol
That just seems very selfish. I get Medicaid and Wic and still struggle. Can't get foodstamps but my babies and bills always come first.
Well, I guess getting called out scared her away. 😂😂 I honestly wish we qualified for food stamps. I'd swipe that card with pride!!
@southern_peach_cobbler it is hard. And if you want to eat healthy, its even more expensive. Even with the food stamps we get, we still spend aboit 100-200 in groceries. We look for the best sales, and use as many coupons as possible lol its saved us in soo many ways
@southern_peach_cobbler, food is ridiculously expensive I wish we qualified too.
@southern_peach_cobbler, but I also understand there’s other people who need it more then me so I don’t mind not qualifying
Please say this louder!!! I see people at shoes stores buying 100-200 sneakers for themselves but have food stamps.
@householdceo, I’m very glad to, they should have been fined for lying on top of just repaying it back.
need suggestions....
So at work we have a drink thief. Any time we put a drink in the fridge it disappears. I swear I know who it is. So far he's taken drinks from everyone that works in the office, we even put a sign to not take anything you didn't pay for and wrote our names on the drinks. The person I think is taking them works out of the office so we never get to see who is drinking them.
Friend issues - Need advice
My friend and I decided to go on a vacation together this year. We decided to take our kids to Disneyland.
Bills bills bills
I hate being an adult sometimes. I always shed a tear when I have to pay our Internet bill ($500 a month)....it's crazy that we need a connection like this and how expensive it is ?????
So we have no food in our house and no money so whatever we had I let my husband and kids eat. I'm so hungry. I haven't eaten since yesterday. I wish we weren't so behind on rent. Next week we have to pay our phone bill and the week after we have to pay rent again. I'm so sick on not being able to have food in our home.
So we bought our house for $120,000.. I just got a letter in the mail saying that the state reappraised our home (along with thousands of others in my county) and the value of it is now $175,000 😁
