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.
- Why do poor people care more about their image and buying nice clothes than feeding their family or paying bills? I see tons of poor people who make less than 20k a year spending their entire income on nice clothes and shoes and purses and makeup. Their children are starving they can't even afford to use the air conditioner or pay for electricity but they absolutely need to buy a new iPhone or a new pair of high heels
- When will Obama increase our food stamp benefits? The greedy rich hoard all the wealth and won't pay their fair share. Think about all the free stuff we can get if they paid more taxes! (iPhone, iPad, gasoline, Internet, Xbox 360, flat-screen TV, Netflix, etc.)
- Whatsapp doesn't display last seen time stamp? My Whatsapp application doesn't display the "last seen" time stamp. It shown when someone is online but then doesn't display the "last seen" time. Does anybody else have the same problem? :( I use whatsapp for iphone.
- What does this mean: Free Msg: Receiver unable to receive message - Message Blocking is active mean on iPhone's iMessage? I tried sending my friend a text and it replied with this. We haven't gotten into any fights and we hung out for hours recently. Has she blocked me?
