Missed rerunning this post around Easter when it makes sense
to talk about putting all your eggs in one basket! Oh what the hell. Any time
of year is good enough to poke fun at fucking Amway losers who think they’re
financial experts.
Now thats a saying I don’t recall hearing at any Amway meeting - not putting
all of your eggs in one basket. But most people have heard that phrase plenty
of times in their life from their parents, their teachers, their banker, etc.
The only time I remember that phrase being used was by our arrogant prick
sponsor who said when he’s recruiting prospects that he starts putting fear
into people about their job and how he hopes they don’t have all their eggs in
one basket because they’ll be finished.
Well what else do you expect from a fucking little bastard like him?
Captain Fuck Up doesn’t have eggs to put in ANY basket!
Diversify! A word that shall never be spoken at an Amway meeting because the
activities involved in diversifying take away time and dollars from the Amway
cult leaders efforts to earn an income doing the Amway pyramid scheme thing.
Instead the opposite is taught: put all your eggs in one basket. The one that
belongs to the Amway hen house!
Basically diversifying means investing in a variety of assets and spreading the
risk around in case one venture fails there are other assets on the go
that might turn out better. Before diversifying its a good idea to figure
out your own risk tolerance and how much money you can afford to lose should
things not work out so good.
In Amway, be prepared to “invest” at least $10,000 a year on Amway
products, attending functions, and buying tools.
If you’ve got a better use for that $10,000, I recommend that’s the road you
take! Why? Because you ain’t gonna make back your Amway “investment”! Thats
why! Amway is a scam! Same as any other scam with promises of big riches on a
small investment. Except that it turns out being a huge $$$ investment and no
money back or maybe a few bucks a month after spending $500 to $700 to make that
$10 or $15 commission check from Amway. Getting scammed like that turns ambots
into really nasty people.
Say someone has $150 kicking around in a savings account and an IBO is trying
to get them to “invest” in their own business as an Amway IBO. The person
doesn’t want to risk all their $150 in Amway and in this case is probably
ignorant of the hundreds of dollars on top of that each month to buy Amway
products and attend Amway functions because you don't find that out until after
you've been sucked into the lies. On the other hand that $150 is only getting
half a percent interest in the savings account. But that person might be
comfortable risking $100 of that $150 and buying 100 shares of a stock that’s
currently selling for $1 a share. The worst thing that can happen is the stock
takes a nosedive and they lose their $100 but not all is lost because they
still have $50 sitting in the bank’s savings account. Or the stock might take
off and at the end of the year is worth $25 a share.
When considering diversifying, a homeowner might decide to invest in a second
house using the equity in their main residence as a down payment and renting
out the other house - hopefully for a few bucks more than the mortgage. In
twenty years the mortgage will be paid off. At this point the owner has the
choice of continuing to rent the house and all the rental income is now profit
with some deductions for city taxes and general maintenance as the house gets
older and things like the roof and hot water tank need to be replaced. It now
becomes residual income, more than most IBO’s will ever see! Or else the house
can be sold and the equity is profit to the owner.
Some people who are incredibly talented and lucky make a living playing poker
or gambling, investing in the stock market, or flipping houses.
Whatever they’re doing they’ve found a way to diversify. Words that never
should be spoken at an Amway cult meeting! Probably because when people are
looking at their investments and figuring out which ones they should cut loose,
they start with whatever one is losing money.
Toss out Scamway! Losing money! Useless baggage!
Here’s a laugh. Our arrogant prick sponsor told us he’s always looking for ways
to diversify his income, talking about investments. This son of a bitch who can't
hold down a job, is always behind on his bills, is a renter always under the
threat of eviction, drives old beater cars, and never has any money. Diversify what
income! What disposable income does he have lying around? I think finding
ways to invest would be an impossibility for him. Its always nice to dream
though.
Oh wait. That’s what Amway’s all about. Dreams! Gotta suck in those cult
followers somehow!
Don’t be stupid! Get your eggs out of the Amway basket!
