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?
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

to migrate. Contact me if interested.

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

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.
