Insane levels of cope

OUR debt
It's fun!
Reminder if you take advice on Reddit you're probably taking advice from a fat 33year old with 110k in debt

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.

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

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

You are not 100k in debt if you got 100k of debt and 100k in asset.

come the frick on man, how are you possibly this naive?
if it was a mortgage she'd say so because she'd be bringing both the mortgage and the asset (house) into the marriage

Not nearly as naive as OOP's husband.

You're generally right. You're giving this redditor too much credit.
The post is under an hour though, if they answer some of the comments asking details about their debt and you're right I'll come apologize though king

There's a lot of morons with 100k + in car + student + cc debt. You can be broke as shit and rack that up, especially when rates were low.

What makes you say that? Not being sarcastic: I'm genuinely curious

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
