[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem stems from the fact that PP suggested that OP could SAH on $30K/year. What PP neglected to mention until this post is that 1) she pays no mortgage or rent, 2) she relies upon Medicaid and WIC.

I think that it would have been more honest had PP offered these details in her initial post, instead of "gloating" that she can SAH on so little. I'm sorry that PP has had to suffer through this, but I also think that her initial post was very, very misleading.[/quote]

I'm sorry you feel that way.  My initial post was not gloating, a bit of tongue in cheek maybe, but I fail to see how you could take it as gloating.  Also, I stated I was on WIC for 3 whole months and instead of that now I rely on sales and coupons.  My point stands that yes, you can stay home if you are only pulling in 100k because some of us out there are doing it on much less.

Well duh. If you have no housing costs 30k is probably enough. The crazy part is that you own your home free and clear and can still qualify for public assistance. Sounds like you are abusing the system.[/quote]

And how do you figure, when you are required to report and bring proof of all assets and income, I am doing that?

The only crazy thing is that because I've identified myself as a member of the working poor, you automatically assume that I am somehow cheating the system.[/quote]

This poster is exactly who I WANT to get benefits from the government. Why are PPs harping on the fact that she and her husband own a house? What would they suggest doing? Selling the house, and living off that money until it dries up and THEN being qualified for gov't assistance?  People like this poster, or small farmers, people working hourly jobs that need to be filled for our world to go round are in a really tough spot in this country. People on DCUM are so sheltered and entitled and say the worst things about the working poor. They would not cut it for a month. [/quote]
