I once bought two bicycles for $800 from a fancy bike shop. I got the helmets too, at $30 each. That’s nearly $1,000 of sports gear collecting dust in the garage of our three-bedroom ranch-style house near Fort Worth. I have a master’s degree in journalism. My husband was working on his MBA at the University of Texas at Arlington before he lost his job and before we ran out of money

It is almost like this is satire of some ghoulish sort. If this is true, then little Miss Sarah and her effing leech husband need to recognize. Recognize they are leeching off people no more solvent than themselves who didn't pay Eight Hundred Dollars for a frigging bike or A THOUSAND DOLLARs for disused 'sports gear'.....YES! She needs to be ashamed of what she's doing - DAMNED ASHAMED! Miss Sarah, even though you don't recognize, there are still some people in this country that would rather die than do what you've been doing....eat canned dog food and sacked potatos. Use actual flour, 10lb bags of rice, powdered milk, eggs, bulk everything rather than to have the time you apparently have to use your 'journalist' education to moan about the 'stigma' having to go out in public and use that SNAP card. You deserve to be humiliated, both you and your effing lazy husband.

The fedgov is like that family in 2007 riding a wave of false prosperity based on maxxed out credit cards and helocs on a house with negative equity.

Instead of two leased luxury SUVs and a McMansion, it’s entitlements for everybody who wants them.

As I understand the story ... the bicycle thing was years ago ... reminiscing of how careless she once WAS.

Are you operating differently today than ten years ago?

I am.

I was struck by her entitled attitude too.
Whey don’t they sell that fancy sports gear to pay for food, or better yet use the bikes to start up a bicycle delivery service for their neighbors

It burns me too that people who NEVER in a million years would have burned through money on friviouls stuff just because they had it are now paying for people who did.

it does sound like satire, doesn’t it?

$800 for 2 bicycles? They would have been fancy around 1972.

If she doesn’t have money and the bikes are unused, she should sell the bikes for money.
