Does it mean that I'm poor if my family's using food stamp?

Apparently, half of my family members own a an Iphone.

It means your family qualifies for food stamps and are using them. Not necessarily they are poor, but of a lower wage income. I used to qualify for them but my income was a lot higher than it is now

I myself use food stamps to feed my children… It's nothing to be ashamed about… And what does an iphone have to do with food stamps…

Everyone needs help at some point and time.

I think some of you are missing the point that this guy/gal is trying to say.

S/he is trying to relate whether using food stamps equal to being poor. And if that is so, why the heck is half of his/her family using iPhones is what's/he is really asking.

Well, iPhones are usually "brought" with some contract plan right? So it's not paying a whole lump of money upfront. It's like chipping 20-30 extra dollars per month. So it's not impossible for a "poor" family to be able to do that. I also want to remind you that even people with the same income, who are both qualified for food stamps, one might use it while the other might not. One might think they make enough to get by and they don't really need to use it. The other might also be making enough to get by and don't really feel the need to use it. But the other is a cheap person and like to save every penny possible, so they would prefer to use the food stamps since they can and spend the money that would've been spent on food elsewhere.

I WOULDNT SAY YOUR POOR JUST NEED ASSISTANCE
@DONTWANA YOU KNOW I THOUGHT THATS WHAT THEY WERE TRYING TO GET AT AND YOUR RIGHT

Depends who asks you.

Yes, u re poor. Only poor people, with income below poverty level or withno income at all are qualified for food stamps

The economy is in a state of semi-permanent depression. Workers are being replaced by electric machines. Our leaders fight like children. Grab what you can get. You're gonna need it.

Maybe your family should spend more money on food and less on cell phones. Priorities hello

Sounds like assistance is needed- it can happen to anyone. However, the money spent on any data plans and extras on iphone maybe can be used abit toward food & a simple, basic cell phone can be used instead.
