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.

Lmao.
The dominos delivery driver being able to support a family and buy a house was the aberration.
People are comparing their life to the best possible time to be a wagie and claiming injustice because they're only better off than 99.99% of all people in history.

i mean it is much harder to save money now than before, and house prices have increased at a much more rapid pace than wagies.
It's genuinely true that housing is increasingly moving out of the reach of many people and they end up trapped in infinite rent cycles, which means no generational wealth via property really.
anti-workers are r-slurred, and a lot of people waste money, but there is at least some truth in their rhetoric.

Sure, it's harder. But people don't realize how lucky they have been.
Imagine how people in the future will think of us for crying our way through one of the most prosperous and peaceful periods of all time.
I suggest people learn to appreciate what they still have, because it's only going to get worse and paying people more to compensate for our failure to adapt is only going to accelerate the decline.

Part of that is because rather than move out into the country and develop new cities, post baby boomers have chosen to stay in the same location and compete for already existing spots. I do feel for zoomercels, it’s going to get worse before better

Wouldn’t be too big of a problem if we could build more, but these same morons are the ones opposing building housing on the site of a historic laundromat because of evil corporations or something

Well that and when they try to build apartments it lowers house values. They’re building by my parents now and their home went down 10% in value.
Honestly instead of going to college, if they learned handy skills either trades, landscape, drywall, etc and moved out into the country they would have a 10x better experience

It really isn't harder to save money than before. You used to have to have special accounts with brokerages either through and office or mail. Now you can make an investment account on a website for any major bank. And inflation adjusted wages are higher than they've ever been.

Investing fees are also through the floor rn. You can invest in broad-market index funds with Fidelity with literally 0.0% expense ratios, no minimums, no fees whatsoever. You couldn't do that 30 years ago.
Literally every last person who doesn't have at least something saved in an investment account is r-slurred.
(Only applies to US, other countries are pathetically far behind us in investing and have much higher fees.)

I've given up investing. Threw money into Boeing, next day the 737 Max falls out of the sky. Put money into Norfolk Southern the morning that train derailed. It's like every time I try to put money into things God decides to cause a natural disaster just to sink the stock prices.

That makes no sense pizza. If houses were so cheap they weren't making generational wealth

If anything, current poortards who whine about being poor should be mad at their parents for not saving enough despite having lived through boom times.
Poverty might as well be a hereditary disease.

Their parents didn't realize it was the boom times. That's why they're all passing on failing strategies to their children.
Everyone thinks they're a genius in a bull market.

Tbf it was only a boom cause their parents spent all that money.

On one hand that is a pathetic "raise". On the other hand every last person who bitches about being underpaid should prove it by getting a higher paying job. If you can't convince a single company in the entire country to pay you more money then maybe you're not actually worth more.
