What is with everyone all was asking that? I see it in the PA posts all the time and other posts as well

What makes you think it is your business and place to bring up about being on a computer and internet?

How do you know they are not at a library, friends house, have a computer that is paid for?

**edited to add** you don't have to tell me how you have internet lol. i was asking a question about why do people always bring it up and say how do you afford a computer and internet?

That  is funny I just love that. Anyways computers are cheap now and interent is alittle as 20 dollars a month. If your in school you pretty much need the internet! People need alittle compassion, I swear cafemom full of women pretending they have perfect lives.

I was all ready to answer lol .. my hunnie works and pays for it. But as for the PA post idk ... yeah a lot of people don't pay for it but a lot of people who are in a tight spot don't know how to prioritize I guess thats why it comes up a lot.

 I'm not on PA, so I worked, earned the money, and bought a computer.  I have a bundle package for cell phone, home phone, Internet, and television.  I am actually paying about the same for all four services than I used to pay for just my cell phone, which was always about $150-$200 a month. 

A friend of mine lives in an apartment and her utilites, including Internet are included.  She is on PA because her husband died and she has three kids.  She can't really work until they are in school.
