So you can sell your TV and cancel your cable and pay for almost half of your heat bill for one month and 1/6th of your heat bill for the other months (with the savings from the cable). Then, when you get back on your feet, you can spend another $500 to buy another TV.
You honestly don't even know that she's at her own house. After all, if she doesn't have heat, would she be staying at her own place?

Sigh. You're right. Everyone who makes claim to need, truly needs, nobody makes bad financial decisions, and nobody should EVER live with the consequences of their decisions.
Is it really that far out there to think she might have never saved anything and had just blown all of her money on stupid trivial shit? That's a lot more believable to me than these suggestions of it not being her house or the TV was given to her by a charity. What charity would give a poor person a huge ass TV instead of clothing or food?
