> It's not up to me to decide, nor does my income-level have anything to do with the validity of my arguments. You simply have to answer "is this person better off with this thing X". By your logic of: better off == "helping the needy" == Saving a few $bucks General Mills cereal coupons are "helping the needy". That's seriously complete bullshit. If you are going to use strong terms like "helping the needy" I would expect e.g. improved quality of life or another reasonable indicator backed by a well presented position and/or statistics. > my income-level I very much doubt any person living on minimum wage would say "Yes, my quality of life would be improved by a budgeting app for my IPhone". But if you had lived on minimum wage at some-point and honestly thought so, I would have considered it relevant.
