Why you need to let poor people buy coffee in peace : povertyfinance

Two year old words posting saying that it's problematic to tell the Pours to stop enjoying things and Starbucks/Netflix/weekly funko pops are necessities.
Comments are a mix of people with brains that agree budgeting matters when you're broke and brainlets overdoing on copium for their bad decisions
Edit: Yikes. Where do I begin?

90%  of poor people are poor because theyre stupid and iimpulsive.
10% are genuinely very unlucky and keep getting kicked when theyre down.

Noooooo, poor people are poor because when a rich guy buys shoes for 500$ they last him for a lifetime by just maintaining them with 25$ shoeshine and when poors buy 50$ shoes they have to replace them every 2 years or more!! I saw a comic about it!

Honestly, quality in apparel, footwear, and most goods peak at a point. Most people don’t seem to realize that point is a lower dollar figure than they’d expect.

I got my first pair of hiking boots for like 60$ on REI clearance and I racked up like 200 miles on those at least.
I have $40 sneakers ive worn a few times a week for 3 years that are still fine.
But theres something... extra thats more common in poor people that makes them blow out the bottoms a little bit faster

REI is where its at with quality. In college I bought 4 pairs of made in USA new balances for $30 each from some absurd unannounced sale a “hypebeast” shoe store was having and they are all still complete functional, even with running, festivals, and hiking in them for years. $120 and I’ve had beaters that are still trendy for years.

there sure as frick are people in poverty that waste money on shit they do not need
No kidding. And there are people in the top 1% who waste money on shit they don't need, too. Why don't people shame them?
I'm simply saying, if someone needs a treat to make themselves happy for a few minutes so they can get through their day, I'm not going to begrudge them that one minute of happiness.
I hate poors so much its unreal

Lmao, this thread is gold.
I liked it.  I followed a lot of advice here and harped on my SO about cutting takeout and coffee and all that stuff.  Until we did the math and realized it wasn't actually making a dent in the budget. It was like 2k per year.  What were we going to do with 2k?  Not a darn thing lol.  We'd be in essentially the exact same position.  So why waste energy stressing about coffee?
Wow, bet they’re doing really well that 2k a year is literally nothing to them.
80k loans, average rate of 7%.
This b-word has 80k in student loans with 7% interest and she couldn’t think of think of any better thing to spend 2k a year on than fricking takeout and coffee.
I'm 31 and still live with roommates if that counts.  I pay $275/month for "everything."
This b-word is engaged and apparently getting married soon and still living with roommates. :marseyxd:
Some people unironically deserve to die poor.
Another fun one.
Yup. I used to think I was going to have so much more money when I quit my pack a day smoking habit. Unfortunately, I was just as broke after quitting as I was before. I could breathe better though, so there was that.
Crazy she didn’t save any money after she quit smoking. :marseythinkorino:
I probably paid rent late a little less, maybe, or maybe that was how I got my DSL hooked up. I probably stopped asking my parents for so many handouts and was probably able to put a little more gasoline in my car.  Who knows.  Whatever I didn’t spend on cigarettes was spent on other needs.
Another r-slur who deserves to die poor.
:#marseymanysuchcases:
 I am officially obese and it kills me.
Of course it’s a fat foid. :marseychonkerfoid:

Just the loose change I have left at the end of the day from buying coffee adds up to about $20 a month

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
other rules
  1. Subscribe to this hole, it's important that we get our numbers up. Love numbers = peak poor
  2. Bonus points for making your post title some variation of peak poor. (Pinnacle of Poverty, Prowess of the Penniless)
  3. 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.
