I also want to say that expensive stuff poor folk might have may also be the result of some pretty hard saving. I think being able to get those things (especially the more entertainment-oriented items, like a good TV, a good computer, stereo, etc) is also something of a personal achievement as well as something that makes life bearable.

Also who the hell thinks a fridge and a microwave are such fripperies that they question even poor folk having them? Plus both of those (as well as a good few other basic facility items like them) can come in cheap models, so do they really think poor people are always going out and buying über-expensive ones? Microwaves can come in under $100 here, I don't call that expensive.

Exactly. Bottom line, it's wise not to automatically make assumptions about the things someone who's in financial straits owns until you know the full story.

I honestly don't know! I was stunned by those pundits' comments because I couldn't believe someone was actually stupid enough to think such a thing. Like you said, they're not all that expensive to buy, and besides that, even if they were, well, considering people make food in microwaves, and considering people store food, as well as water, aka, basic necessities to survive, in them...then, yeah, call me crazy, but I think that counts as an important purchase and a necessary thing to own.
