A younger co-worker just informed us all that she is going to retire by age 29.

Are you going to tell her that unemployed doesn't mean retired?

Falling for a scheme is not the same as taking a risk. Do you also wish more people would bet away their life savings

Are you kidding me? Not even close to a fair comparison. An MLM is specifically DESIGNED so that you won't make money

That is the case with a lot of start up companies. You're investing in yourself

There's a HUGE difference between the two though, and it's a tad dishonest to conflate them.

I'm just saying there are risks to investments. I'm not losing sleep over

You conflated legitimate business ventures with MLMs. Also, MLMs really aren't investments.

So, the question is. what makes the business legitimate?

Their parents were married.

But that's the point. MLMs often hide the risks and target those who are more vulnerable.

No. Nothing like that. It is absolutely nothing like that. Not even close.

It wouldn't have mattered either way, cuz doing what my coaches told me didnt
