Matt look up. ( that's ny location- look up, punny!)

Rely on Hotspot WiFi & limited data Broadband WiFi. Current monthly expenses for "rent," water, electricity, & sewer? Less than $200 p/m. Think I can afford to "splurge" on MiFi device. :-)

Further. We don't buy "newest & best" every time new devices are released. We save for inevitable obsolescence & pay cash when necessary to replace failed devices... or do without.

Matt there's an angel showing you the light. Just look up!

...or any smartphone for that matter...

Yup

True, although isn't this available in pc as well? And who knows when the smartphone was bought. Or by whom for that matter.

matt... someone still needs to pay for a data plan.

matt... if you can afford a computer you aren't poor.

On a pc or smartphone? In theory you're right, the problems you're assuming people who have nice things all bought them. Many did, although a blanket statement like that WILL have obvious counterpoints, which is my point here.

Haha did we say anything about making a generalization for that? no. seriously, peeps

Again was the computer bought before they became poor, was it donated or a gift? You cannot make blanket statements like that and not expect someone to find flaws. Because there are flaws. Yes some try to live beyond their means and shouldn't. But to make a blanket statement about the poor is absurd, especially since this is subjective.

Maybe you should read my comment again since you're pretty much repeating your comment.

I was responding to goalie. But you said "anyone" which implies a blanket statement.

Anyone in the EXCLUSIVE group holding iPhones.

I'm not saying there are many who live beyond they're means, and they shouldn't. But if you're going to say anyone, I'm going to point out the counterpoints

Why JUST iPhones? And also goalie ,entitled any smart phone, and of course this is also on pc. So were you saying they shouldn't have an iPhone, or just shouldn't buy an iPhone while poor!

What do you think?

I don't know which you meant. If they had the iPhone before becoming poor, or didn't buy it and got it as a gift or something (including any plans) than the problem isn't on them. If you meant they shouldn't buy luxuries while poor, that's understandable

Oh my gosh. why go through all that effort arguing? obviously the latter. people like arguing too much.
