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

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.

I'm still flummoxed these "people" have had a student loan for 20+ years to qualify for this shit. How the frick are gen xers and shit sitting around with 300k student loans still after two decades and supposedly making payments?

IDR probably has their payments at <$100
Don't payoffs like this get taxed? Won't these people have huge tax bombs coming when they file?

Care to explain a bit further? I'm a fiscal advisor in another country but I don't get it, is the forgiveness considered like some kind of taxable benefit?
Oh nevermind I read a bit further and some guy responded. Still open to more informations if you have it

The simple answer is yes, a forgiven loan is normally counted as income

If I read that right, whatever is getting written off is treated as income. Some of those r-slurs are talking about 300k in unpaid loans.
That’s going to be an insane tax bill. Then they are going have to taxed as 300k a year salaried person on all of their actual income.

Depends if its coming as a payout bonus from the government or if its "forgiven" and its just... written off? I'm not sure because I don't research these things because im financially responsible.
I did have like a 30k 401k loan my old employer paid off as a bonus to me when the company got bought so now I have to worry about paying like 8k or some shit next year.

I'm also very curious about what kind of degree would require a 300k loan. I've never heard anyone mention anything above 150k, which already seems enormous.

Lawcels. Law school tuition is basically flat regardless of the quality of the school, with HYS around 70k and the absolute bottom of the barrel still asking for 50k. Three years of that with undergrad loans and 300k total is possible. These predatory schools are well-worthy of a deep dive. Yeah, if you're graduating a T14, you can get Big Law and the associated salary and swiftly pay your loans off. If you're graduating from a bottom-tier school, if you pass the bar, which is a coin flip for someone going to a shithole like that, you're going to be making <50k a year, so the interest alone on your loan debt is almost half of your total income.
If you're not going to a T14 or if you're not getting significant scholarship money to a T30, law school is not worth it and you will be in debt forever.

I'm actually getting mad reading this. What the frick lol? How do so many of these people have over 20 years of debt worth 100-300k?

I must also be r-slurred because I thought this only applied to federal loans. How are there people with 300k worth of federal loans from twenty years ago?

They pay $0 and interest keeps coming

Just to illustrate with some quick math:
Assuming one of these tards have 300k total loans, and the interest averages around 6% (might have been higher in the past idk), and assuming no payment in 25 years: that is an original principal of 70k

And that's not taking inflation into account, that's $70k in ~1998 dollars.

I mean I kinda feel like a bit of an idiot for actually paying off my loans instead of just ... not, putting that money into property and waiting for a hand out like this

You have to have been paying for 20 years to qualify for this… you wouldn’t qualify for a land loan with this around your neck

a barista with 335k in loans from an original 100k they took out in the 90s is such perfect bait i refuse to believe its real. all of these people should have mandatory community service hours + their mouths sewn shut + castration in exchange for salvation from their obvious r-sluration

Idgaf if you're broke as long as you didnt end up working for minimum wage for 20 years after getting an advanced degree. It take a special kind of stupid to not advance at ALL via intertia. I know plenty of r-slurs making six figures with degrees from University of Phoenix.
