Computers, like your driver's license, are a privilege - not a right. If you can't afford to buy and maintain a computer, perhaps you shouldn't have one. It's a tough reality.
When I got a "real job" and had the money to spend, I certainly didn't spend it on software. It was spent on rent, car payment, insurance, or just goofing off. Hell, why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?
With today's free open source software there is no more room for the "I can't afford it" excuse. Download Linux and OpenOffice - you get general compatibility with Microsoft and you can give the finger to Bill Gates all day.
