Naturally this is capitalism's fault
A few people call out the r-slurred ad
I mean 12.5k is vastly indulgent for a vacation, and a basic car isn't 65k.
Where does a basic car cost $65.000, and a vacation $12.500?
The rest is just various levels of poorcel cope and why it is society's fault they suck at life.
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)

decent burg and fries is roughly ~14 usd, 'vacation' is pretty vague, a basic car thank God isn't 65,000 dollars unless you want like a brand new pickup. Pretty accurate on the burgers I guess.

You can get something super cheap for like 20k if you need a car. Toyota Camry is good for that
Also if you don’t live in fricking clown states helps

In 2010 or something my dad bought a brand new Kia Sportage with the best package at 25k or something. You can still get these great deals for aeound 30 if you buy Korean.
