People tend to forget that the US was unique after WWII that they didn't have their industry bombed to smithereens. They also ignore the fact that that house was <2000 sqft, the vacation was a road trip to a nearby resort, and they had to do without the luxuries and modern conveniences they have. I will give them college, it's outrageously expensive. But even that, college was just continuing education, none of the bullshit. Redditor-Americans can't accept that they still have the highest standard of living in the world.
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.

People are so stupid. If you want a baby boomer middle class you would have to bomb every other industrialized nation. Just say that's what you want

How big of a house do people need? Just have less shit. I've always loved in 1500sqft or less even with kids. I like it, it's cozy.

To a redditor, anything less than 3000 with a goon cave and dedicated videogame room is a crime
