Ice cream is a luxury ? Last time I checked I could pick up a carton of ice cream for less than $2 at my local sav-a-lot .... I don't think thats luxury just a sugar fix .
Ofcourse if you don't spend the $2 on the luxurious ice cream you may be able to pay for your own health care in ohh 20 years or so ? there are many things in life that we can do without |

Having a treat once in awhile is not a luxury. It is psychological necessity.
What kind of life would we have if we didn't bestow a treat upon ourselves after working hard all week. Putting down something as little as ice cream. Come on! It is a celebration of living and getting outside of our humdrum life of the stress of children and work. We earn it! it is still a luxury Ice cream is a luxury ?

And bowls??
If I let it melt I can drink it... |

That would save on doing dishes and using less water. Less water means lower water bills.
You are going in the right direction for saving money! |

what do you drive? do you have tv? a cell phone? you are using the internet, which is surely not the more dire of needs for the average person. do you just buy the cheapest of foods and never eat out? how many items do you own that aren't needed for daily life? do you not get my point? america, a place where even our poor people have a car, a house, and are fat. (heard that on the radio, i believe an african imigrant said it) |

(heard that on the radio, i believe an african imigrant said it) ok so your going to listen to an imagrant from a part of the world that hates us. your putting cars on a list of luxuries. Last time I knew having a house and a mode of transpertation (car) was part of being a responsible adult. Guess what, you couldnt be further from the truth. The car for most people is not a luxury but a necesity, why you ask, well lets put it this way try walking 20miles to your job one way. As for the internet more and more people are entereing professions that require the internet. even if you dont need have it there are still other ways to access the internet, (ie friends comp, public library) You want to know why there are so many fat people in this country. Its becouse of the all the crap the FDA alows in the food that we buy. Have you stopped and read a lable lately? Our food has been preserved and chemicly treated untill what we have to eat has become a poisen. And when you do have access to organicly grown foods and the like they are so expensive that you have to be pretty well off to consistantly buy them. |

"Forty-six percent of all poor households actually own their own homes. The average home owned by persons classified as poor by the Census Bureau is a three-bedroom house with one-and-a-half baths, a garage, and a porch or patio. Seventy-six percent of poor households have air conditioning. By contrast, 30 years ago, only 36 percent of the entire U.S. population enjoyed air conditioning. Only 6 percent of poor households are overcrowded. More than two-thirds have more than two rooms per person. The average poor American has more living space than the average individual living in Paris, London, Vienna, Athens, and other cities throughout Europe. (These comparisons are to the average citizens in foreign countries, not to those classified as poor.) Nearly three-quarters of poor households own a car; 30 percent own two or more cars. Ninety-seven percent of poor households have a color television; over half own two or more color televisions. Seventy-eight percent have a VCR or DVD player; 62 percent have cable or satellite TV reception. Seventy-three percent own microwave ovens, more than half have a stereo, and a third have an automatic dishwasher." - http://www.heritage.org/Research/Welfare/bg1713.cfm what a load.no poor i know own a house .i own a microwave i bought at a yardsale,no dishwasher and my stereo is secondhand. my tv is secondhand.the only real luxury i have is cable and i ****ing work for it.don't quote statistics to me to try to prove poor folks deserve what they get.Next you'll say we shouldn't buy clothes or food.I'm not on welfare so how i spend my money is none of your damn business.Perhaps you should visit the Ozarks or the inner city so you know what poor means. The stats on poor people are never accurate. For one poor people are hard to track by the census and get missed almost every census. So these stats cannot be believed. Of course the "poor" that the census caught up with own their own home. They are the only ones not really all the way poor, know what I mean? There are a lot of poor people who own their own homes. Of course, these are not what you would call middle class homes. When I taught at Delcite, a school within Chester, I saw the homes of the poor. Yes, they were three bedrooms and either one or one and a half baths. However, the homes were so small and rundown, and worth maybe 50 thousand or 60 thousand dollars. It is the same thing with the cars. Almost all of the homes had cars, but older models. |
