I recently took a gamble in the market with roughly $100K and managed to turn it into around $600K. Combined with my savings, I'm sitting at about $980K, plus some (small but profitable) properties and enough on top of that to cover my expenses for the next three years. I drive one of those super nice cars now; the kind I used to freak out over when I saw them on the road as a kid. But the weird thing is, now that I have it, nobody around me really cares because they're all doing just as well, if not better. It's made me realize how much I miss that feeling of excitement and appreciation for the little things.
I'm thinking about picking up a job where money isn't the main focus, something like teaching at a high school or working at a small, family-owned shop. Or even McDonald's lmfao. I want to be surrounded by people who see life the way I used to, when saving $20K a year felt like hitting it big. I feel like it would get me to reconnect with that simpler mindset and let me experience some of that excitement again, like when people freak out over my car the way I used to.
I'm in my mid-twenties, so I don't think I'd feel too out of place. Has anyone here ever done something like this? Did it bring you the perspective you were hoping for? Would love to hear anyones thoughts! Thanks for reading

I don't really get it, are these redditors all living in extreme cost areas like LA or just defending a $6 cup of sugar water and clump of fries cause only chuds complain about inflation?
seriously tho these "free" whataburger things just take advantage of how ridiculously overpriced every side item is nowadays and make you buy them to compensate, it's not even a deal

I joined this group to connect with other folks like me. Occasionally that happens but most of the time the posta turn into debates with well-off people.
Let us have our hugbox. 
What is the point of rich folks even joining this group? Like, why are you here? Does it boost your self-esteem to hear out stories and look down on us? Why can't we have one space where we don't have to defend ourselves?
I am a person that has always been right around the poverty line. I am also a person that was born with a high IQ. I'm not poor because I'm stupid and lazy. I was born with an invisible disability and all my elders died before I was even old enough to drive.
When I am able to maintain steady employment I work harder than most people. I enjoy working hard and creating something I can be proud of.
Why do you need to come here to tell me that I have the same opportunities that you do?
I live in a society that refuses to acknowledge that many, many people would be doing so much better in life if they had access to the resources they needed.
You got EXTRA. A lot of people never even get the basics to survive. Why do you come here to deny that? What's in it for you?

I see the poors are pretending to be big wallet niggas again est. 2016
Hello, welcome to 'I see the poors are pretending to be big wallet gangstas again'
This hole exists as a safe space for refugees from the Facebook(MetaTM groups of the same name. Of which there have been several iterations. We mostly exist to poke fun at the state of living in poverty. While it oftentimes is unavoidable, we do aspire to not be meanspirited. Over the years we have co-opted the term 'Peak Poor' to being someone who exudes poverty, regardless of their actual net worth. Trump and Elon both exhibit the peak poor ethos from time to time while still being the top 0.000001%. You can do something peak poor and still be a good person or a generally adjusted one. We all have a bit of poor in us.
We basically fill a niche similar to fatpeoplehate with a bit less actual malice.
PeakPoor is shotgunning mountain dews at 5 years old.
PeakPoor is not people dying of poverty. While technically the greatest heights of poverty is succumbing to it this is not funny, and is a failure
of capitalism. We do not make fun of poverty to be mean spirited such as that.
Read the room, if it's punching down too hard or really digging into someone whos a sympathetic character it doesn't belong here. (basically READ THE ROOM)

Subscribe to this hole, it's important that we get our numbers up. Love numbers = peak poor
Bonus points for making your post title some variation of peak poor. (Pinnacle of Poverty, Prowess of the Penniless)
I am looking for a mod who will help me grow this place and encourage the facebook community where the majoryity of our members reside
to migrate. Contact me if interested.
I really do love you all so very much, i'm even spending drama coin to get some banners and marseys. thanks for being a part of the community.
