What do you think of people on food stamps?
I am just wondering.
I am on food stamps and it seems like people tend to judge you for it.
I am a single mother for with a two year old daughter.
I DO have a job, i am looking for a second one and i just recently got on it when i broke up with my ex. Also i do not have a expensive car its a 20 year old car.
Just many of you seem to say that we all have nice cars and that we don’t have a job and etc. I do see many people on assistant with very nice vehicles and expensive items, because they all live in the same house and this does upset me also.
Just wondering if you think food stamps are ok or not.
Thanks!
i get food stamps, i dont care who wants to judge me for it, some people dont have as much as others and need help.

i wouldnt care what people said about me. and ur right…some may have nice cars and things but only because they live with their mom or other relatives. ppl think that you have to dress like crap and live like crap to be on food stamps…but thats not true at all. so dont worry about what anyone has to say.

Doesn’t matter to me. My bro is on food stamps. He is disabled.
I think people assume that if one person is abusing it, everybody else is.
BTW, one of the reasons why someone getting assistance may have a newer car is because you are penalized if you save up to buy a used car. If you save $3000 to buy a used car, that money is used against you and can eliminate your ability to get assistance because you are expected to use that money instead of assistance despite the fact that you MUST have transportation. If you use credit, no effect. Most banks won’t give out loans for cars 10 or more years old. As in your situation, many, many people who receive food stamps ARE working.
BTW, did you know about Angel Ministries? Maybe a good way for you to stretch your food stamp dollars.

I used to work in a grocery store and one night I saw something I will never forget. It was a regular customer. Looked to be about 23 years of age. He had a son, and his wife had a little girl on the way. When he came in, he bought about $55 dollars of beer and wine, and then turned around and bought about $50 of groceries with food stamps! If he had enough money to pay for the beer and wine, he didn’t need the food stamps! And let’s face it, there are some people who don’t want to work, keep having kids, and get a check the first of the month. I don’t have an issue with people getting government assistance as long as they are working towards something better. Yes, we all need help at one point in time or another, but what I do have a problem with is the people who use their kids as a paycheck. On the other hand, there are some people with food stamps that will only use them for a short period of time while they go to school in order to be able to enter the work force someday, but people usually just focus more on the people that just wait for that check to come around.

Food stamps are meant to help people in need (like yourself) you are doing the best you can and providing for your child the best way you can there are much worse ways to do so so if anyone wants to judge you then thats there problem and shame on them the only opinions that should matter to you are people who know you and care about everyone needs a little help at one point in time keep your head up and keep doing what your doing to take care of you baby!!!

Many years ago, before Clinton’s welfare reform, I had a neighbor who lived on food stamps and section 8. She had 2 children. Her brother was a police officer and her sister was a lawyer.
She DID have a nicer car than we did, she DID have brand new furniture. Her hair was always done and so were her nails. She would also do her grocery shopping late at night when there were less people around. She DID abuse the system. She also babysat and I can guarantee she did not report that income.
Another time in a grocery store, there was a couple in front of me, dressed to the nines. The woman wore a fur coat and lots of flashy gold. They purchased a crap load of steaks and paid with food stamps. While I was out in the parking lot, they drove by me in their shiny new BMW.
Now, I knew nothing of their situation. Could be they had at one time made a lot of money but were now down on their luck.
I myself was on food stamps for a short time. Holy moly! I couldn’t spend it fast enough, it was so much. Once a job was landed, I rejected the food stamps.
F what other people think. They don’t know you, or your situation.
Hold your head up high, you ARE doing the right thing.
Does your child’s father pay child support? You should also be eligible for WIC.
