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 am completely flabbergasted by the contents of this article. There is no way someone so well spoken is this r-slurred with money.
(((It's that simplicity of four payments.))) How the frick is managing 4 individual payments simpler than saving the money and outright buying the product in 1 payment?
If you can afford to pay off a debt, you can afford to save money.

I mean, there is the vice author taking out a loan to go on vacation.
We're at an era where despite stringing coherent sentences together and making the language flowery you're an absolute r-slur at the most basic forms of math.
There are more vice articles on the side that basically spell the doom for these fricks and younger generations. They're all more lonely, more mentally unstable. On top of that there is a generation that basically skipped two years of high school thanks to lockdowns and are in college that don't even have basics down.
After another decade, I don't recommend anyone taking flights. Because these willl be the dipshits replacing retirees maintaining airplanes.

Some startup douchebags took the concept of a credit card and reframed it as this revolutionary "disruptive" thing so venture capital fartsniffers would give them boatloads of cash to burn.
