ive spent less than $100 a month on groceries. top ramen, all i can afford. no goverment handout, no help from anybody. finally got my degree and got a better job. the crappy days of top ramen and kool-aid. everyday, :(

The next time someone claims to be POOR, look at what phone they carry and remember that they are likely full of it.

Cricket, folks. Unlimited EVERYTHING for roughly $70 per month. Sure, I get random text asking me if I know who "Mirza" is in Spanish and my number shows up as a Juan Hernandez (whom I DEFINITELY am NOT!), but I'll deal with it if it means I'm not forking $200+ per month to stupid stinkin Verizon....

$100? You either don't eat much, don't have to pay your food, or not accounting for your Govt handout.

and people get in debt because they can, most businesses have debt, nothing evil about that. Just be responsible about paying it back. (I don't have debt bytheway).

The modern day cigarettes are fatty junk foods. That's why more people are going to continue to drop dead in their 40s and 50s, too many burgers and steaks, not enough fruit and vegetables. The cattle industry is expected to keep growing but beef is very bad for your heart if you eat more than 2 small servings a week, which most Americans do.

Cell phone addiction is rampant in society, they're modern day cigarettes for most people. And to wonder why people get so in debt in these times.

i dont know anyone who can survive on less than $100 of groceries a month. Now unless they aren't accounting for Lone Star card spending then i see how this statistic would be true in SA.
