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.

This has nothing to do with parents lol. America is an easy enough country to have a stable life as long as you arent an actual r-slur.

A lot of people have a significant disadvantage to making money because their parents or grandparents were poor too.
I'm not saying this is an excuse: their parents should've tried harder.

My point is even with no parents or poor parents you can make money in america if youre willing to work. You have to actually just be lazy to stay poor here.

Maybe but I'm pretty sure most wealth is generational and I assume the people you're referring to that not only have the motivation but also the intelligence to lift themselves up out of poverty are probably 1 in 10000 or fewer (most people are poor, lazy AND r-slurred)

Generational wealth is immediately squandered by the heir. Its only the dozen ultra wealthy families where it lasts because they had the foresight not to give everything to their heirs in a lump sum.

"Generational wealth" doesn't just refer to millionaire kids. The ability to claw your way out of the middle or even lower-middle class can depend on if your parents saved up enough money to get you through a decent college.

you say 'generational' but what
means has changed entirely in literally one generation
my grandparents and parents worked part time for they education (not that it did anything to help my parents were worse off than gparents)
I'd have to go into high 5 low 6 fig debt for the same education
literally just be smard (which has little to do with what or where you went to school considering all information is available at our fingertits for those willing to learn)
and industrious and you cn pull yourself out of anything.
I doubted that before I was employed too but
im workng blue collar now and to see just how r-slurred some of the people actually are who supposedly have decades of experience on me
I can alreaty tell
and some those guys are balling
it's all about being important and valuable. which a college degree is becoming less and less.
as more and more low IQs go further into debt and more BIPOCS get more free $$$
in my grandpadre's time only 7% of ppl gradjudated college
today its almost 38%
heck only 41% graduated HS then which 91% today do
we went to the moon with those numbers
so are ppl actually getting smarter? or are standards dropping?
is passing most of that bottom quintile that would have dropped out in any other time doing anything at all?
I'll find something else that'll put me in the top 7% but it aint college anymore

once the fifth or sixth poorcel you've met squanders life changing money/opportunities you lose empathy
poorcels routinely:
fail to take offered scholarships
fall butt backwards into cash and waste it
take out gigantic predatory loans for worthless trash
immediately max out any and all credit

The top 1% or something, where the wealth is so large that they literally cant spend it all in their lifetime; and in the modern economy the best way to make money is to have money, so its easy to keep being rich.
But a middle clas,s decent, livable life isnt gated behind having middle class parents.

I don't think you realize how much generational wealth applies to middle class too - the difference between your middle-class kid getting a STEM job or flipping burgers

Is that a matter of generational wealth, or that successful people raise their children to be successful, too?
