I used to be the manager at one of the busiest tax chains in the country (Top 3 for my brand and top 7 across everything). I saw a ton of people get money, decided to go ahead and get the loan, go ahead and have the refund taken out of their refund, and start making plans on the new TV they wanted to get and the awesome vacations they were gonna take, and also get caught up on ren. I don't judge, I'm just there to complete the tax return for them.
Then a couple was getting a refund of 16K. They were arguing with each other what they should do with the money - do they get the advance, and do they want the 60" TV or the 65. They asked what I thought they should do with the refund, and I told them they should get caught up on rent, take 10% of the refund and do something fun and save the rest, that the refund could easily mean they don't have rent payments for the rest of the year, and still have a little emergency fund. And then their money during the year will seem to go a el) lot further.
Next year they came in and made an appointment to see me (Very unusual) and bought me a gift for the advice. They used it and noticed they did have enough $$ to start going to college again without the rent payment.

This story is a real surprise to me. I have given out financial advice before, and I can't think of a single time that someone has taken my advice and done what I said.
Coworkers will ask me "how do you always have cash for emergencies?" I tell them about setting up a percentage of your direct deposit to a completely different bank that you can't access except for in person. A financial advisor told me to do this 17 years ago, it changed my life. Not one single person I've told has followed this advice. You must be a good salesperson.
poor people tend to lack self-control? shocking!

Just got back from Key West. Haven't done taxes. I'd suggest you make a cake and eat at home. Put $100 in a gold envelope and start a new tradition. Every year take her to Fidelity and have her make her annual deposit. Let her buy $100 of FXAIX. She WILL be a millionaire if you do that. She deserves that from a loving father. Hope her birthday goes well. Please consider. Money well spent. Put the other $100 in an account for yourself.

What part of "return" do poor people not understand? It's not like the government is giving you money out of the goodness of their heart so you can pay your bills on time once a year. This b-word is giving an interest free loan to uncle sam every year and is grateful when she gets some back. They could adjust their withholding or dependents, but then they would b-word that their return was small this year I hate stupid people so much
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.
