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)
Sitewide rules apply
other rules
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.

Simply have a rich sister and brother in law who will bail you out if you get in a bind
*when I was facing layoffs they offered to pay my expenses for a full year if needed, was really kind of them. Luckily it worked out and I never had any unemployment time but it helped with the stress I was facing. I would do the same for them. Love them ♥️

This is unironically true for money you're making/spending when married. But you're fricking stupid if you think that 110k in consumer debt pre marriage is "ours" lol. Also did see her say who had the debt before they got married so 100% it was hers.

I dunno, she also brags about establishing a 1k emergency fund (lmbo). Which means both of them had no savings and probably debt. Or the husband isn't contributing his past savings, that's still his money.

Would bet she's never once called it "our debt" out loud to him, just her friends and reddit. Gurantee this is her coping about a pretty massive problem in their marriage because she's the one that caused the problem.

Personally I'm not a poorcel, but I think it's great to marry somebody with financial discipline, and being poor shouldn't stop people from having a fulfilling relationship. All other things being equal, I'd rather marry a trailer park b-word who is frugal and knows how to budget rather than a high-maintenance woman who comes from money but also spends it like water. My ex may have turned out to be a worthless cheating narcissist but one of the few good things I will say about her is that she had great financial discipline and it was something that I really admired about her. Credit where credit is due
Also, $110k in debt is very reasonable when you consider the price of your average mortgage in a big city. It all depends on where the debt originates from

I mean I guess I could be wrong. People talk about mortgages differently.
They would have mentioned if it was student loans, real estate or a mortgage. They're talking about CC debt, possibly student loans from degree mills, upside car loans etc

Are you under the impression that trailer park hoes are in 100k+ of debt?
Because you're wrong in most cases.
you have to be solidly middle class for the banks to allow you to frick up that bad.

Dude, in Boston a three bedroom house within walking distance of the T costs half a million. Even if you had put down 80% (which is unheard of) you're gonna have $100k of debt. A person in that situation is actually really well off.
Like if a partner is $100k in debt because they got a college degree in Art History you should run as fast as you can, but if they're $100k in debt because they own property then they're actually doing pretty well for themselves. There's a huge difference between bad debt and good debt. I just don't think being $100k in debt is necessarily a bad thing when practically every urban homebuyer is in that situation

if it was a mortgage she'd say so because she'd be bringing both the mortgage and the asset (house) into the marriage

If you wanna save money
go to Lidl and buy their expiring today 
shit. 50% on regular 
stuff like bread 
which was baked yesterday and is still in great 
condition. I "meal prep" the expired meat and stuff and then freeze 
and save a lot of money

The proper way to use those services is by getting a free or massively reduced first week, then cancel, and use a different service the following week.
