    You have to make very little money to qualify though I'm not sure what the amount is. I'm sure you could lie about what you make and get them but whether you are willing to do that is up to you. I knew a guy who had two jobs and one was a management job full time and the other was two days a week and made next to nothing. He took the checks from the part time job and applied for and received food stamps. He also claimed his roommates and dependants on his tax returns. I don't know if it ever caught up with him but I would be surprised if none of it did.

    what are you making?

    maybe ou should lower you other expenses so you have room for basic necessities?

    It is not right to take food stamps when there are other people that need it more then you. If you honestly make next to nothing to qualify you SHOULD look into another profession.

    Strippers arent stripping to collect food stamps.

    I think you have to make not much more than $10k/year to get assistance like that and I'm sure you are making a lot more (I'd hope!)

    unfortunately to get that kind of assistance you have to make VERY little and if you can pay what you are paying I'm sure you are making too much. Can you work an extra shift or something? I wish I could get Medicaid. If i quit my job I could but since I make good money I can't get Medicaid but due to preexisitng conditions can't get good insurance either. I could make $5 million year and still nobody would write me a good policy (not that I'd need it making that much).

    You have net expenses of 1522 a month, that you can meet, and you think you should be able to get food stamps? Get a smaller apartment, rent out a single room rather than an apartment. Sell the Car. Ride the Bus. Work another shift at the club. Work a day job in addition to your stripping.

    Are you really serious?
    Never stand begging for that which you have the power to earn.

    You can get better food for free than food stamps will allow you to "buy", probably more than you need, and without depriving anyone else of anything at all:

    Two words: Cheaper Apartment.

    If you're paying $800/month for rent but can't afford to eat, you need to get your priorities straight. If you only need $100/month to eat, you can get a $700 apt and voila! Food around the corner!

    Sell the car and get a cheaper one that's still reliable, & try to find cheaper insurance. I would sell that big flat screen tv you said you have. Try to fin a cheaper apartment.

    without wanting to sound harsh, i think it's disgraceful that you have a brand new plasma screen tv and other luxuries but are considering getting food stamps. that is total abuse of the system.

    god, you remind me of when i was in school, and there was those kids who had the "school card" (a card for people who 'don't have much money' that gave EXTREME discounts on stationary, uniforms etc) and all the freaking benefits, while they had big screen tv's and cable and all that shit at home.

    sorry but it makes no sense to me. if you cannot afford FOOD, a necessity to live, why the hell do you have a beach condo with brand new furniture and plasma tv?

    What's truly sad about this thread is that there are millions of people in this country with misagrranged priorities like these who value their lifestyle more than they do their lives. No wonder these payday loan, title loan and rent-to-own outifts make a killing.


    And $100 a month for food? Hope you don't ever intend to eat out, not even at McDonalds, considering the average person's food budget is about 2.5 times that amount.

    I agree with Darcy.

    Programs like Food Stamps are for those who are truly in need, and are truly scraping by to put food on their tables. You can afford all these luxuries that they cannot. You are not in need. What you do need to do is start cutting back on your spending, get the cheaper apartment like Bridgette mentioned, trade in your car or sell your car and get a used one, etc.. Basically sell everything you DON'T need, if you're worried about going hungry. A Plasma TV is not a necessity. Sure, it's nice, but if you can't afford to feed yourself, what enjoyment is there to get out of it?

    Leave the system for those who really need it. You just need to cut back, not food stamps or any other government assistance.

    It really saddens me how people take advantage of the government the way they do. You're a stripper for pete's sake. There is no reason that you should be inquiring about foodstamps!

    There are some people who really need to eat, and to live. You have your internet, and freaking cable of all things, while you're living in a $800/month apartment. What kinda car are you driving that you pay $350/month for?!

    I feed my boyfriend and myself for around 200 a month, by buying sale items and using coupons.

    Just an aside - and I agree that we are not strippers to be impoverished - I would be hard pressed to get an apartment for less than $800. In urban areas that could be hard. And some urban areas still have very poor and erratic public transit.

    That being said - food stamps are to help the impoverished. Not students who are having a hard time making ends meet.

    ^^ I know in some places it's hard to get an apartment for less than $800. So if someone can't quite afford that, they should either:
    1) get a roommate
    2) lower their standards just a bit - rent a studio instead of a condo, find a guest house instead of an apartment, etc.
    3) do without some of the other luxuries like cable and internet

    There are options. This chick who claims to be living in a condo on the beach, making $350/month car pmts and watching a plasma tv has NO excuse for being unable to feed herself I have no sympathy.

    Well, I don't drive, and never have. So I have no idea how much a normal car payment even is. And here in Toronto (despite the constant hikes) we have public transit surpassed in cost and quality only in a few cities (like NY and Tokyo). And I have two roommates, and I pay, depending on the season, less but not that much less, you know? And it would be hard to duplicate the deal I have now, at least in this city (and I have been checking because one of my rommates - the roommate of evil - is moving out when the lease is up. Excuse me for a moment while I dance around with happiness ). And although I could comfortably live without cable (I prefer movies since Buffy the Vampire Slayer finished), I couldn't get along without internet, and I don't think many students could.

    Although I do understand that there seem to be some inconsistencies, and I suspect this is some kind of weird fishing expedition - like to flush out girls here who are impoverished and dancing for the purposes of mocking them. On the other hand, she could have simply had a change in circumstances and bought a big TV when she reasonably believed that she could afford it.

    I guess i do sound kinda shitty. i do NEED the internet for school,the only non necessity is cable but it makes my internet free. A lot of apartments in the area i need for my daughter are high.... partly because of hurricanes and its one of the few safe areas in pensacola.It's a 2 bdr small....nothing like a beautiful condo but it costs like one. I make good money,but school is getting in the way of work and money gets a little tightl. ..so i just wanted temporay stamps until May when i finish school. But u guys r right, sorry for bringing this up.
