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.

Taking out a loan for a vacation is S-Tier r-slurred. Not even on credit, a fricking loan. Hope that trip was worth the hole that you're in now.

They have ads now for these payday-loan apps (e.g. Brigit) where they explicitly promote using loans to buy snacks and drugs. It's so nefarious it's almost funny.
Also surest sign we're in a bubble is that there's no pushback on this mentality. It's encouraged everywhere.

On a bunch of vacation sites they literally have a button to use Affirm to Klarna to take out loans. Sometimes its just 0% interest split over a few months but you can a year long repayments with stupid interest rates.

Growing up in a shithole country was great for my financial literacy - all I had to do was look around at all the poorcels buying shit in 72 easy payments of $xxx with a stupid interest rate to know I'd never do anything close. When I moved here I don't remember seeing this shit, other than obvious payday loans. Now it's everywhere.

I'm moneyd now but I was once poor and I cannot imagine taking out a loan for a vacation unless I was dying of cancer or something. If you need to get a loan you can't afford vacation.

Honestly it's completely r-slurred either way but isn't a loan smarter than putting it on credit? Credit cards have abysmal APRs. Unless you have one of those 0% APR sign up bonuses and can pay it off before that expires, I guess. Are loan APRs even worse? I've never had to take one out.

Late, but payday loans can have APRs of over 500%.

Oh yeah those awful payday loans are the worst option, I was thinking about a personal loan/line of credit/whatever

Assuming OP wasn't dumb enough to take a payday loan.
Goldman Sachs 
at least offers "personal loans" for vacations and shit which have APRs between 6% and 24%. The high end seems to be higher than credit card rates.

If you need to take out a loan for 6000 it should be illegal for you to travel more than 50 miles from your place of residence
