You put “lost” in quotes. What does that mean? You don’t think the money has been lost? Thrown away?
The government does not have the money to waste on people who don’t need food stamps but think they’re entitled to it because why should they have to pay for food when others (i.e., the poor) don’t have to?
Really? 50 K goes no where. My son a first year teacher makes just shy of 40 K…and right now he’s living at home. How do you think a family of 4 makes it on 50 K? When both kids are home we spend 250 to 300 bucks in groceries…
I make a little over 60 k. With with holdings and insurance. That’s about 44 k take home…so figure 38 k for a pay of 50K a year. Fortunately for me my wife makes about 50 k as a teacher so I know what her take home is and it puts us at about 75K per year.
I’d be curious to see what your idea of a budget breakdown would be. Up for the challenge? I’m not saying your entirely “wrong” but you might not be aware of how expensive raising a family is.
We’re at about 500 a month in groceries for our family of 5. That’s 100 dollars per person, per month. It’s more expensive during summer break too of course.
As the children get bigger, so does the monthly food bill. We have 10 more years until the first one is old enough to chose his own path.
If any of my kids have a teenage metabolism like their father did, we’ll easily be spending a grand a month in food.
Perhaps because I am confused. Sometimes people respond in ways that are not easy to follow.
Obviously, this isn’t the first time you’ve seen that happen either.
On the contrary, it is not obvious. You are assuming that I read every post you make, which is not the case.
Trying paying attention.
I only read threads that interest me, not every single one. I only pay attention to threads that interest me, and do not for threads that don’t. If you post in those threads, I won’t see them.
But now that you’ve informed me that you don’t always agree with Trump, I’ll bear that in mind when I read your posts.
Please you bear in mind that a lot of posters on these boards don’t answer simple questions simply, but instead resort to sarcasm and “reverse posting” (not sure if that’s the correct term for it) so it’s difficult to know if they’re being serious or not.
2-300 a week for a family of four is not cheap but then, it doesn’t cost that much, this woman was feeding a family of seven on 300 a month, granted it was in 2015 but it was a family of seven, not four.
Are you attempting to do it as cheaply as possible though? Heck I spend 200 a week for just me and the wife but that is a lot of luxury items in the grocery list, if we were broke I could get it down to 50 a week with no problem.
