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)

I feel like Reddit has a skewed view that everyone is struggling while making $20K and working three jobs but rDrama seems convinced the median household income is $150k in the US.

that's a respectable lower middle class income based on what I read in the WSJ.

I bet the average dramanaut does make more than the average Redditor but that’s more down to the userbase of this place almost certainly being older than Reddit.
