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 grew up in a family with a net income of about 300k by the time I was an adult (started around 60k 20 years prior), but we lived like poor people for our lives. No subscriptions (piracy if we wanted), eating out meant taco bell/sweet tomatoes buffet/coupon hacks at Baja Fresh, meh cars, no phone service (we used Skype only for a long-butt time, and then stuff like Mint Mobile where its $15/month),etc etc. Only thing we spent more money on was a house because parents wanted to ensure good public schools & housing always has good ROI in the long-run.
Our family net worth by the time I was an adult was ~5-10 million dollars. My point is, if you don't have money it's pretty much guaranteed that it's your fault.
