If you somehow manage to end up homeless in america, you genuinely need to have a little self-reflection.
The homeless rate in the US is around 0.2% at any given time. That's it! only one in 500 people manage to fail as hard as you're doing right now! If you consider an entire suburban high school graduating class, there might only be one or two people out of there who will frick up so irreparably that they end up homeless. At NO point, does someone in the bottom 0.2% get the right to say that "the system has failed me". What you need to be saying is "Why does the system work for 99.8% of people and not for me".
Sure you can have a really rotten string of bad luck, but even bad luck might only put you in the bottom 5%. You ever seen clips of Dave Ramsey? People are walking around with like $100k in credit card debt without going homeless, they do it for years! Somehow "the system" has failed someone with 100k in r-slurred credit card debt less than it has failed you. How? Genuinely answer that question and get some fricking sense into your brain.
You don't deserve the right to complain about the system. That's stolen valor from the people whom the system actually failed.

1 in 3 Americans are one paycheck away from being homeless except people get fired all the time and none of them ever become homeless. Really makes you think
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

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.

I'm pretty sure there should be options other than "rent a studio apartment or larger" and "be homeless"...

"1 in 3 americans are one paycheck away from being homeless"
And yet the number that actually do end up homeless is a statistical zero
