depends, are you above or below the poverty threshold?
[QUOTE=c0nk3r;23548041]depends, are you above or below the poverty threshold?[/QUOTE] In terms of income for him and his mom, he's below. But in terms of income for him and his mom including everything else he gets from friends/family/handouts, he's above.
Right, do you guys know eachother IRL? Or are you just a crazy stalker
[QUOTE=Ascensive;23548127]Right, do you guys know eachother IRL? Or are you just a crazy stalker[/QUOTE] Not IRL, just online.

The rest were gifts, free, or from my brother, who does not live with me, and has a job driving around his boss in a Maybach.

But since you're here you've got internet, you've got cable, you've got a nice pc wich can play games like ARMA 2, you've got television and you've got over 500$ worth of games, you've got a home, you've got food. You are not poor. Get over it. Besides, if I didn't read anything, how would I know you had 500$ worth of games in the first place?

You're not poor. Either that or you're constantly lying out your ass.
you're not poor. they're are plenty of people far worse off than you.
You're not poor. You'd be poor if you lived under a bridge. You'd be poor if you had to go to a cybercafé to use the internet. You'd be poor if your family fed you with the same food everyday in the week because it's cheaper. You'd be poor if you could only drink soda at birthday parties. You'd be poor if your dad couldn't afford to fix his car. You'd be poor if your parents were looking for jobs constantly. You'd be poor if they'd cut your power because your family can't afford to pay their bills. You wouldn't have made this thread if you were poor, because you wouldn't have ever known about the existence of Facepunch. You'd be busy studying your ass off so you don't get kicked outta school, and would be doing cheap jobs for your neighbors to get 5 bucks in exchange. People like you disgust me, honestly. You don't have any idea how living off $16,000 is the dream of millions of americans. So before you reply to this, stop saying you're poor. You are not. You don't want to either. So shut the hell up and stop trying to make yourself inferior. Be happy that you got a computer, a TV, and even parents who will spend money out of their pockets to buy you useless bullshit like your graphics card and ARMA 2.

You aren't poor unless you have nowhere to live other than your friend's couches, and can barely afford enough food to keep yourself healthy. [B]I[/B] am poor. I live away from my parents, one of which has no job. The only reason I have this computer and all the games on my steam account is because we used to be decent as far as money is concerned. If your priorities are paid for enough that you can afford new parts for your computer, and you have a place to live, and you are eating well, than you aren't poor. Talk to us when you've reached the point where you have to seriously consider welfare.

I sold some of my stuff in order to buy the GPU. Poor = Homeless to you.
He's going to take pictures of his cabinets apparently, probably taking all the food out of them. (Just 30 minutes ago he had Bacon with brown sugar on it and Chocolate chip ice cream).

Wow. If that's poor then i'm in deep poverty.
Our furniture was sold by the warehouse since we couldn't afford the payments, so now we have furniture from friends and family. The TV in the living room has been with us since like 02, and is the breaking one. The small one in my BR is some sony from 93 we got at a yard sale for $1. We may be evicted since our aparment is under new management, and they raised the rent from $500, to $1000. Now that added with the hundred dollar cable and internet bill, electricity, and cell phones. We aren't that well off in terms of salary which is what this thread is about but you guys decided to bring other countries into the question.

You're not poor. [editline]07:30PM[/editline] Why do you keep saying that you are? Being poor isn't a good thing.

[QUOTE=David Tennant;23549798][img_thumb]http://filebox.me/files/kdkn8gi46_3JmhD.jpg[/img_thumb][/QUOTE] That's a stepladder.
[QUOTE=Second-gear-of-mgear;23549580]We're trying to get welfare, but we can't since my mom had her identity stolen by some dude, and she is in the process of settling it in court.[/QUOTE] Quit making excuses and ignoring my other points. You eat, you have a computer that you are still buying new shit for, you have a home to live in. I have no home, this computer was a grad present two years ago, I eat whatever little amount I can get, and i constantly feel bad for using up my friends resources. You get no sympathy from us because you are quite obviously Medium-Well off.

Seems unlikely unless he works like 7 days a week 12 hours a day, I live in England and know a few.
