I'm sorry I don't know how Sallie Mae or the government lets this amount of debt taken out for a BS degree in anything.
I don't know how schools have less regulation on this than banks. Do we really think that this is beneficial for anyone?
No. OP had a co-signer.
He was kinda forced into being my cosigner which is why I agreed to pay him (dad) back
Who forced this. This is an absolutely ridiculous amount of debt for an UG degree and someone should have stepped up to be the adult in the room and said no. It should have been him.
Can he pay? If there weren't actually illegal threats involved, he wasn't forced.
OP explained they threatened their family that they would run away from home if they didn't financially support their college education further.
I gave them an ultimatum: I run away or they send me back to college. It was a hard time for my family but to avoid me being in dangerous situations to get where I wanted they reluctantly agreed to let me do this with the agreement I would pay my dad back for being my cosigner and only support in going to FU
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)

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.
