Whether or not Amway Ambots believe in FIRE – we do know they believe in being FIRED UP! LOL!
The FIRE movement began long after we got the hell away from the Amway cult but I wonder if FIRE is preached to the Ambots at Amway cult meetings.
Financial Independence Retire Early
I have had scads of Amway losers leave comments sneering at us how they’re going to retire when they’re 21 or 22. Or lying that they already are retired. And they laugh at us because we’re too stupid to do the same. HUA HUA HUA!
Well maybe they’re heirs to a billionaire who’s on his or her deathbed.
If their retire at 21 or 22 plan involves having anything to do with Amway and their last name ain’t Devos or Vanandel then we laugh right back in their faces.
LOL you dumb fucks! Amway losers.
The FIRE movement is a millennial thing so that’s why I’m wondering if Amway cult leaders get the Ambots all fired up and preach FIRE to them.
Let’s take the ass end of the word first. Retire Early. Probably means in their 30s or 40s.
The Financial Independence part? Probably means working really hard, maybe more than one job, living frugally and investing their money in something that is hot and increasing in value or paying huge dividends or rental properties providing a steady stream of income. Through a combination of working for an employer, maybe becoming an entrepreneur and selling a product or service they’ve created and smart investing they’re reached Financial Independence.
The thing is with the people sharing how they’ve succeeded at FIRE and now they travel the world and spend a few months somewhere and then head to another country don’t really seem to have retired early. They probably have made successful investments (stocks, gold, real estate, what have you) but I bet a lot of them are leaving the bulk of those investments alone. These people are running a website and blogging about their experiences, or doing Youtube videos or an Instagram influencer and are making money from selling products on their platform. They live off that money.
In other words they’re still trading time for dollars a common phrase you hear at Amway cult meetings from the leaders preaching to the Ambots. If they are writing about this really great backpack or jacket for a certain climate and providing a link to where it can be bought on Amazon – they’re making money on commission for every purchaser they refer to buy that item. If they wrote a book and sell it on their website, they make money on every sale.
OK I’m sure you all got the picture. If they’re doing something to generate an income and using that money for their daily expenses then they ain’t retired. They’re still working. It’s just now working on their own terms. They’re entrepreneurs. They’ve created a product, probably themselves, and selling something on their platform. They’re working. Not retired.
So much for bullshit FIRE! LOL! It does sound like an Amway fairy tale doesn’t it?
We already did a post where we talked about people like Mick Jagger, Oprah, Mark Zuckerberg, and Jeff Bezos and discussed do they need to work or do they want to work. Some of these people reached financial independence at a fairly early age, let’s say by their 30s or 40s. They can stop working right now and not have to worry about how they’ll pay their bills for the rest of their lives.
We compared them to Amway Diamonds. You go to an Amway brainwashing conference like Family Reunion, Dream Night, Free Enterprise Days and Spring Leadership and you see the same old tired Amway Diamonds who got in to the pyramid scheme early enough showing up for all of them. That’s because Amway Diamonds have to work. If they stopped showing up to motivate the Ambots to buy Amway shit and invest in the Amway tool scam then their income would also stop.
Pick any Kardashian. All of them are eligible for FIRE.
Pick any Ambot. FIRE? Not so much.
So if the Amway cult leaders are preaching FIRE and that will only happen through “your own Amway business” don’t believe that bullshit. Ain’t happening with a system designed for failure where over 99% of participants lose their money.
You know how to create FIRE if you read this post. First off you stay away from scams like Amway! You work hard and probably work more than one job. You become an entrepreneur – create a product or service that you sell to others. You invest your money wisely. You become an online influencer on Youtube or Instagram or a website and sell something to your followers or recommend products that you receive commission on referrals. I’m talking real commission here. Not pennies commission from some scam MLM like Amway.
There you have it. Free advice on how you can do FIRE. Amway cult leaders will charge you the price of admission to preach FIRE advice that involves a system designed for failure.
There’s tons of advice all over the Internet if FIRE appeals to you. The retire early part probably just means from the corporate world. Most people claiming they’re a FIRE success story are still working for money. Just working on their own terms.
Whether you’re an Amway Ambot and own “your own Amway business” LOL or someone who “retired” FIRE and working on a blog or as an influencer for income - you’re all about selling the dream. One of you does it on your own terms (the REAL entrepreneur) and the other one answers to Amway bosses.
