I have always been amazed that the very poor make things like cable or satellite TV and priority.
I know several who have lost their homes, but not internet and TV service!

I am considered low income. I do not have internet or TV service in my home, at this time mainly because I can't afford it. I am online though through my work and I have a laptop that automatically picks up open access internet in many places... including in my home.
In my work though, I have to go over the finances of people applying for charity health care. I am always amazed at the people who pay high cable and internet monthly. They always have cell phones too...yet can't pay their medical bills and are on foodstamps.
I have cell phones too, but no home phone. I always say, you put your money where you want it.
