Simply a Stupid, Misleading Report


May 13, 2019, 2:10 PM

1) 40% SOMETIMES have hardship..Sometimes means as little as One Time per Year
2) Article doesn’t delve into whether or not people LIVE BEYOND THEIR MEANS.

A decade after the recession, 40% of families still struggle — CBS News
Steady economic growth hasn't lifted the fortunes of millions of Americans amid mounting housing and medical costs

EVERYONE rises to their own level of poverty


May 13, 2019, 2:39 PM

everyone struggles, because everyone spends what they have....and then some.

Its AMERIKA!

I dont struggle. I live in the first house my wife and I bought. We dont go on outlandish vacations and do not have a credit card. We may spend more than we should, but we dont spend more than we HAVE.

Not having a credit card is a poor choice...

Unless you have no impulse control.

Cash back, miles, etc. If paid off monthly, you can use these to your benefit.

If my poorest choice only costs me 1% cash back


May 13, 2019, 3:05 PM

I'll take it.

Im not perfect and I make stupid choices all the time.

But the premise of the article that 40% of people are out there struggling to feed their kids is laughable.

Most people dig their own holes

I haven't had a credit card in 5 years.

Trust me, it's better. Depending solely on cash has made life a lot easier and stress-free.

If I ain't got the money to buy it, I don't buy it.

“I live in the first house my wife and I bought”

Your wife still live with you or did she kick your cheap ### to the curb?

Sorry...couldn’t resist.

She is the brains of this operation! yes still here


May 13, 2019, 3:10 PM

she is cheaper than me.

I've partied across the street from Lakeview Pantry

Place does not look like a food bank

40% or run down trailers have a $50K + car/suv out front


May 14, 2019, 9:46 AM

and a 65"+ HDTV and a smart phone. If they don't, there's drugs in the home.

I'd say about 20% of poor people really are stuck being poor, maybe less. A little education and responsibility and they'd prosper.
