For some people it's cheaper to have a cell phone then a house phone. We NEED phones to call for help and have people easily get In contact with us, it just depends on what type you get.

also, it's not like I was always broke. just recent turn of events have left me having to stretch my paychecks a little farther then before. moving back with my parents, also not possible. they don't live in the city, i wouldn't be able to work out there.

been there...but on the bright side, at least you still have a home and running water to wash them in.

Everyone on here saying "minimum wage should be enough for soap" clearly has never lived on their own. I lived under the best of circumstances leaving my parents house, I owned my own car and inherited a house I didn't have to pay rent on and minimum wage was still barely scraping by.

To the people saying "can't you live with out a phone?" If they are applying for better jobs, how do you think employers are going to get ahold of them without a phone number to call? And as for internet, its easy to sponge off an open network. (and most applications are online now)

For all the people saying he has a phone why can he afford soap have you ever heard of a library ? Totally free internet access and also in today’s world a cell phone is very important what if he has a kid if his kid got sick and they couldn’t get ahold of him that could be seen as negligent . Or what if he has an on call job that he would lose if they couldn’t get ahold of him? There are many reasons a phone could be seen as a necessity
