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)

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.

Some of this is fricking insane. Why are they leasing a car? Why is it $840/month for car insurance?
These people are rich with the mindset of a poor

Is car leasing not popular in the US? On TERF Island it's pretty common because you get to drive a new car every two years for a smallish deposit and monthly fee and all services and insurance are covered. Rich and poor people all do it.

It's popular but rich people don't usually do it because they can just buy the car.
Poor people love to frick themselves over leasing cars. In Burgerland there's stereotypes for this. You've got the 45 year old Kang who rolls into work in his caddy but still lives in a crime infested shit hole, and the 25 year old fresh off deployment who decides to lease a Camaro before finding a new job.
It works out ok for stable middle class people, although they're usually looking to spend their money on a nice truck or SUV they'll keep for longer than 3 years.

Fair enough. If I was that rich I'd do it - $25k/year to have a new luxury car every 2/3 years seems like a decent deal compared to having to constantly sell + buy, it might not cost much more overall. The dealer will do the transfer for you too.

$25k a year leasing is multiple full size luxury cars/SUVs.
Even a fricking V8 S class leases for like $1,200 a month on a deal.

Neighbor you got it all wrong, both of those are bought from Buy-Here-Pay-Heres are 30% APR.
Leasing is what rich people do because they want a new car all the time.

That's exactly why leasecels are fricking themselves over lol. It's the same as why getting a mortgage is better than renting, except the resale value for cars is more predictable than the real estate market.
It's fine for people with money. Buying and selling is going to save a decent amount of money, but if it'd be a real issue if the car got totaled it makes sense to lease as more or less as insurance against that. My experience is that rich people get off on putting 400k miles on some old Buick or F150, but they're not going to have money problems because they leased rather than bought. The people fricking themselves over are the ones that shouldn't be in new cars at all.

Are you r-slurred? Every single car you would ever lease is worth less than 40% of it's sticker after the lease period. Cars depreciate, houses appreciate.

Are you? You aren't getting a lease for 60% of the car's value. That 40% you get from selling it more than offsets the extra spent up front.
