How come people who can hardly afford their basic needs go out and buy iPhone 5s?

I see this too frequently for my taste.

There would be this lady pushing a $3 stroller wearing patched clothing, and texting on their iPhone5… What the he//? And then they wonder where they went wrong.

What is up with this, seriously?

Added (1). @Samantha is CLOSER TO THE EDGE: I didn't write "iPhone 5S." I meant the plural of iPhone 5 (by adding an "s"), rather than the singular form.

Iphone 5, not iphone 5s… And thats humans for you

They love iphone 5 more than basic needs

People are desperate to keep up with the technology, I guess.

Thank welfare for that

So they can ask it to find the free shelters for them.

Sadly, they have got their priorities wrong.

Well they are going wrong some where my friend.
