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.

I don't understand how these fricking idiots didn't pay most of it down during Covid when it was deferred.
I fricking hammered the remaining portion of my student loans and paid it off. And I'm a college dropout who never technically finished because I had the chance to start working my career at 21, yet these morons would be quick to call me the "idiot" for technically not having a degree.

Actually the correct way to do it was to put all of that money during deferment into treasury bonds and then make a big lump sum payment including the interest once it started back up
But yeah none of these people did any of that

Getting themselves stuck for YEARS in the world's most generous loan terms is the personal finance equivalent of the game j*urno who couldn't get past the cuphead tutorial

A staggering number of these "highly educated" people we should apparently be grateful to have in society aren't even aware that overpaying loans is an option.
They've never even read their loan agreement, but it's super good for all of us that the guy who fulfilled your Amazon order has a masters in philosophy, somehow.

A lot of people were hedging on it being forgiven entirely under Biden.

So I have a good idea. I say we do student loan forgiveness. So they show up to the forgiveness center, step into the forgiveness pod, they enter in their loan information, confirm their identity, confirm they want their loans forgiven, and then as they drift off to sleep due to the lack of oxygen they see their balance drop to zero. I'm pretty sure it would save us money after the first 5-10 years
