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

Oh, and if you care about her, you’ll buy $60k worth(less) of oils from her each

That is a great goal. Doesn't seem likely, but hey, good for her trying.

I'm worried that it is a pipe dream, and she's going to through away her job and fiance's job for it.

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
Slim
7/22/19 3:35pm
That is the case with a lot of start up companies. You're investing in yourself

Trying and lying are not the same thing at all.

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
SUAVO

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

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

Their parents were married.
jdub

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

Even worse, it's more like convincing others that they will be able to talk a bunch of people into playing football.

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
