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?

I was thinking move back in with her parents by 29.

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

I'm just waiting for the invite to her oils show with all of her friends and family.

if your friends won't buy from you they aren't your friends!!!

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.

I don't get why many here like to trash others for taking a risk

SUAVO

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

I've shared this story before, and it seems appropriate here

That's honestly so sad

I know a guy who said the same thing, but he started a construction company.

SUAVO

7/22/19 3:26pm

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

SUAVO

7/22/19 3:45pm

Trying and lying are not the same thing at all.

Byron McNertney

7/22/19 3:49pm

Isn't a Ponzi scheme where they are lying about where your money comes from?

I've never worked for a company that also required me to be a customer.

I'm guessing you had to pay to go to work, probably buy a car so you could get

Ummm yes it is very different than investing in stocks or opening your own legit business financed by a bank

That last paragraph sounds like many businesses that haven't been around for 40+

Can you really not see the difference? This isn't a risk that you might lose money because your product or service

The business of an MLM is recruiting. That is the difference. You don't make money in an MLM selling a product or

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

jdub

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

SUAVO

7/22/19 3:50pm

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

jdub

7/22/19 3:54pm

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

SUAVO

7/22/19 3:56pm

Their parents were married.

jdub

7/22/19 4:03pm

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

Byron McNertney

7/22/19 3:55pm

Like many businesses do

SUAVO

7/22/19 3:57pm

But the business of an MLM IS recruiting. They are not a middleman to sell a product. That is why people brag and lie

Whether or not you would have been successful in football did not depend on convincing others that they would

Slim

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

Byron McNertney

7/22/19 4:57pm

Like recruiting at a university?

SUAVO

7/22/19 5:05pm

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

Slim

7/22/19 5:10pm

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

SUAVO

7/22/19 5:04pm

Also, you missed the part where he completely lied about being able to retire. That was a critical point of the story

jdub

Is this true?

Of course it's true. I was there for the whole thing.
