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.

She owns the place (inheritance), but still it's fricking stupid to take out a high interest loan to renovate. She probably redecorated it, bitches love redecorating for no reason.

Are you a euro? We would call that a condo here in freedomland. An apartment nearly always implies renting.
Jump in the discussion.

Condos are owned in common with the entire building, she owns the apartment itself.

Surely she still has some kind of joint ownership of common areas/parts like the roof, no?

Probably not, there's a lot of owning just the apartment in NYC, like Brownstones.

how do you grow up and completely not understand simple interest? That's like 5th grade math lol

I want to make fun of you for saying "simple interest" because that's a thing and it's nowhere near as bad as compound interest which is what mrs iphone is paying

I figured that loans <$2000 would be simple-interest lol. Don't most payday-loan type shops operate on simple interest?
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Payday shops do that for their own benefit - the interest is baked in as if you made no payments until the very last day, even if you pay it off in 6 hours. People accept it because they're desperate.
On the other hand, banks only accept the long terms on normal loans because the compounding makes it worthwhile.

If they're in New York then they are really talking about owning it like any other piece of real estate

If she owned it, she would be making a ton of money off it, and wouldnt need to work 2 other jobs just to afford a measly iphone

She lives there. Even a home you own outright isn't making you money unless you rent it out

But apartment buildings usually have a bunch of apartments. She cant live in every one of them

She doesn't own a building. She'd be a multimillionaire if she did.
She owns one apartment in a building.

In NYC it's how a lot of ownership works. Elsewhere in the US we'd call it a condo but NYC gonna NYC.

Why are people so confused with literally owning an apartment? I am europoor, here we outright own an apartment if we buy it (ok some buildings are lease only)
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
For most of America, "apartment" is a thing you rent and "condo" is a thing you own. NYC is the big exception.

I really really hope she owns that apartment otherwise good lord. And if she does that makes it a condominium and op just as much of an r-slur.

If you're going to be a pedant at least be correct. You can own an apartment. Condominium is more about the agreement with other owners of parts of a property. You can have a house that's a condominium if it's on a lot with other houses.
From the dictionary:
apartment
[ uh-pahrt-muhnt ]
noun
1. a room or a group of related rooms, among similar sets in one building, designed for use as a dwelling.
2. a building containing or made up of such rooms.

This makes me wonder if there's any good drama on those old boglehead forums.
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Drama between members? No not really. The admins shut it down quickly so at worst there are some catty comments. There are posts like this where a poster's spouse/child is worthless and the boomers dogpile to start dunking on any family member/coworker who isn't following the boglehead way.
