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.
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.

There's no way they were only spending that much. That comes to ~$55k/year. Where did the rest of that over $200k (minus taxes) go?

I remember seeing a similar story a few years ago about a family like this who was crying poor. It turned out they were doing the responsible thing (investing the money, putting into retirement, etc.) and were just mad they couldn't be more frivolous. People in the comments were very bussyblasted

By far the best one was the WSJ around 2009 when a powerful single female executive was complaining about barely scraping by with a $50,000/yr nanny and maxing out her 401k.

I recall one where a family was making $450k but they weren't saving anything and just being tards with their money.

I earn 550k/year, but ever since I started rolling over my post-tax earnings into my Mega Backdoor Roth IRA account at the beginning of each tax cut, my paychecks are only a few hundred every week - it's really a struggle to survive during the winter, a very vulnerable time of year. PG&E bills in Mission Bay are through the roof.

This but unironically. After I've invested most of my salary, I can barely scrimp together enough to buy cocaine.
