I don't pay for television, my mother is nice enough to pay for my phone while I'm in school, and internets is kind of a necessity when you're a student. I'm on the cheapest internet plan possible (Up to 1.5MB download speed!!!!). Believe me, I've cut down on my bills as much as possible. I just work a shitty job with limited hours because of school.
Ah, college life.

You can't even live on minimum wage -- not where I live at least.
40 hours a week will just barely be enough to pay for rent and monthly food expenses. And that's the irony of it all.
The people who work are the people who SHOULD be eligible for government help; but they're the least likely to get it.
When I was basically homeless a few years back, staying at friends places, me and another dude (both white males in our mid 20s) went down to social services -- we were both denied any benefits - they wouldn't even give us food stamps.
We were the only 2 white people in the place -- and the black bitch at the booth next to me, with 4 screaming kids that she wasn't even watching -- was handed $1000 ***cash***
