Amway WWDB Free Enterprise Days 2012

 

WWDB Amway are holding Free Enterprise Days FED 2012 in 3 different places this year so that means IBO's will be pressured to attend all of them.

 

Gotta make them Diamonds richer while the masses get poorer!

 

So another post where I use some key words to draw in IBO's who are desperately searching on the Internet for more information about FED because no one tells them nothing useful at Amway meetings.

 

This year WWDB Free Enterprise Days will be held in:

 

Irvine, California October 5 - 7, 2012 at the Bren Events Center

Portland, Oregon October 12 - 14, 2012 at the Portland Memorial Coliseum

Denver Colorado October 26 - 28, 2012 at the Colorado Convention Center

 

Cost of tickets is unknown. Top secret information you know! It was $225 and considering Diamonds want to make more money from the ambots by boring them to death they've probably jacked up the price, say add another $25 to $50. Usually someone who is married to an ambot shows up to one of these posts and lets us know this year's actual cost.

 

That's just basic costs. If you don't live within an hour or so drive of any of these locations add on your transportation costs, hotel, and restaurants for 3 days. Or more if you're a keener and get there a day or two early to check out the area. Budget at least $1000 if you're driving. $2000 if you're flying/renting a car. That's per couple.

 

What happens at FED? Besides getting FED up with all the bullshit. Gee actually that just about covers it!

 

Friday night is one of these rah rah patriotic ceremonies with various branches of the military represented. The type of stuff that might look at place at other events but at an Amway function is creepy. Its nice to recognize the men and women who serve our country but the fanfare is just all wrong at an Amway brainwashing convention. Listening to a bunch of rah rah Diamond speakers getting the crowd fired up for the weekend with promises of all the great things they're going to be taking away from the Amway WWDB function. Probably starts around 7 or 8pm and goes on till 11pm or so.

 

But don't you dare think the night is over! The assholes in your Amway upline are gonna want to do night owls and all the obedient little ambots better haul ass to the designated meeting place and be prepared to stay there for a few hours. The cult leaders know the best way to brainwash their cult followers is to keep them tired so they'll be easier to brainwash cause they'll agree to anything.

 

Then the serious bullshitting sessions start on Saturday morning. And they go on and on and on and on until 11pm or so that night. There is a dinner break for a couple of hours. Good little ambots better not dare leave their seats for any reason and miss very important information that is being shared.

 

And just what is this very important information that ambots must devote to memory? Its one Ken and Barbie after another strutting across the stage in evening wear like they got invited to a Presidents gala at the White House or something. They all have the same stories about how they used to work shitty minimum wage jobs until a very dear friend showed them the Amway business plan and now they're bazillionaires and travel first class all over the world and when they're at home in their mansion that they've built out in the boonies somewhere they entertain important people and show off their garage full of luxury sport cars.

 

Even though midnight is closing in after the day's bullshit session is over ambots can't think of going to bed because some asshole in their upline has demanded their presence at another fucking night owl.

 

Sunday morning is a day to sleep in if the ambot is lucky. But more than likely the upline assholes will be pressuring the ambots to attend the Amway church service and get preached at by some Diamond who makes extra money doing this when he passes the hat around to the ambot congregation.

 

Sunday afternoon is more of the same from the day before. No real teaching or training. No useful information. Just Diamonds bragging about worldly possessions that they can afford thanks to Amway. Or maybe that's pretend to afford thanks to credit cards and bank loans.

 

The weekend of hell is usually over around 5pm. Maybe. Unless you're traveling home with other ambots who will torture you for a few more hours about how they're going big in the business.

 

So there you have it. No need to waste your time or money going to FED. Its just another social gathering for ambots.

Is Amway the ONLY thing One Can Do to Succeed in Life?

When I attended Dream Night last year several couples were invited to come forward, take the microphone, and say something. I think they may have been eagles or double eagles. They’d reached some level but I’m sure it wasn’t Platinum or higher. I remember one couple who were extolling the virtues of an Amway business and the wife screamed out “What else is there?” Assuming she meant in the way of business opportunities or making money outside of a J.O.B.

Let me answer her question. Just about EVERYTHING else is out there! I know lots of people who have found success while successfully staying away from Amway.

“Amway is the ONLY thing you can do to succeed in life” is a message I’ve heard over and over again at meetings run by Platinum, Emerald, and Diamond speakers. Part of the brainwashing technique. Can’t let IBO’s think there are other things out there where they can succeed in life that might redirect their time, energy, or money away from the Amway scam. Ambot already has reasonable success but once he joined the Amway cult his business was constantly put down for one reason or another (what if he gets sick, what if there’s a slow down, etc) and he was brainwashed into thinking his business won’t last but Amway success is forever.

Everyone has different opinions on what defines success. I could list hundreds of items and still not be finished. For some people success could be determined by earning a desired income, reaching a scholastic level, owning a restaurant that is packed every night with patrons, getting picked for a local circuit baseball team, publishing a book, playing a musical instrument, losing weight, getting married, buying a New York City penthouse overlooking Central Park..... The possibilities are endless.

Suggesting that to most rational human beings - Amway is NOT the ONLY thing one can do to succeed in life.

“There is nothing else out there except Amway” is a similar phrase drilled into IBO’s as part of the brainwashing techniques. The cult leaders tell IBO’s they must discard anything else in their life that isn’t making them succeed at Amway.

I also heard enough times “What are you willing to give up to succeed in this business?”

The possibilities of what an IBO should discard are also an endless list: spouse, friends, church, job, TV, books, hobbies, car, house......

Who says you have to give up things or whatever makes you tick as part of your lifestyle in order to become successful?

How many apprentice mechanics are asked what things they are willing to give up so they can fix cars? Who would tell a mechanic in order to open up his own garage he must give up his wife, his TV, his friends and his hobbies, sell his house, get rid of his dog, etc or he will never succeed.

Ridiculous huh? Well maybe only to people who are not brainwashed IBO’s. People are capable of juggling other things in their lives while at the same time succeeding at their chosen goals. Apparently not Amway IBO's if you listen to the hallowed cult leaders.

Amway is NOT the ONLY thing one can do to succeed in life. Based on mine and Ambot’s experiences I’d say Amway is about the only thing we’ve ever failed at. In a system designed to set up failure. What else do you expect?

A Bunch of Bananas!

Two years ago our baby was born. Married to an Ambot.

 

During this time we’ve been able to get the truth out there of what its like putting up with assholes in the Amway upline and overpaying for shitty Amway products that are not as good as their lower priced competitors.

 

The lies told by our upline. The lines ambots use to trap unsuspecting victims into coming to Amway meetings. We’ve covered Operation Hellhole!

 

In fact we covered most of it a few months after starting this blog.

 

Fortunately in addition to the posts we write others have contacted us to tell their stories so a blog post can be created around it.

 

Then the day came when someone left a comment pointing out that the recent post has an Amway sponsor who is single and on another post the sponsor is married. Another poster pointed out that the posts have gotten mellower. Oops! Yup not written by the same person! And we had to increase the swearing!

 

We can always use more ideas for posts. Sometimes a reader leaves a comment that can be turned into a post so feel free to give us suggestions. We want to get as many stories out there as we can so that we can help others.

 

Or if you’d like to give it a try to be a guest blogger it is very easy. Just leave a comment on the latest post and title it GUEST BLOG and then have at it.

 

Need some inspiration on what to write about? You can start off a post by using one of these lines if you like:

 

The sack of shit Platinum says....

 

The people in my Amway upline are a bunch of assholes.....

 

Amway functions are a waste of time because....

 

Throw in some swear words, channel your inner Anna Banana and have some fun cursing out your upline. Once you know how the big Amway lie functions, then any person can become Anna Banana.

 

Oh and if you’re an Amway lover and want to guest write a luvvy duvvy Amway post go somewhere else with that shit. Drop something like that in the comments and it will be published only so everyone can ridicule it.

 

Thanks to our readers for the past two years and I hope you like what is still to come!!!

Staying In Amway For Fear of Breaking Marriage

Yup, that was the criteria a searcher used and found their way to my blog: Staying in Amway for fear of breaking marriage.

Very disturbing. Not the part about fearing Amway because Amway should be feared.

I heard at countless Amway meetings how Amway saves marriages. And even some bullshit from our Platinum about how WWDB has a lower divorce rate than the rest of the population. How the hell he came up with that little gem I’ll never know. But then all he’s good at doing is spouting off lies and expecting his beloved cult followers to believe every word he says is true.

I think what I have to say about the hell I went through thanks to Amway and what other women have said, some who’ve left comments here, and other comments I’ve borrowed from other web pages speaks for itself.

The wives of ambots are victims in the Amway pyramid scheme.

We have to put up with husbands who are being brainwashed by their cult leaders. They turn into nasty, sarcastic, sneering assholes who are turned against everyone who doesn’t support their Amway business.

As our Platinum used to chant: “People who are not in Amway are stupid.”

Our husbands believe that. They don’t want to be around stupid people. And yes just because their sack of shit Platinum says it makes it true. In their brainwashed minds that is.

In addition to the personality change that women have to put up with from their ambot husband, they can also look forward to not spending much time with him. There will be at least two Amway meetings a week. Maybe as many as four. The upline will be demanding the husband’s attention either in the way of lengthy phone calls, never ending text messages, or being summoned to last minute counselling sessions.

Let me just take a moment to send a big fuck you out to our former upline now that I’m reliving those horrible memories! Fuck you assholes!

Also the wife has to deal with spending no time with the ambot husband. He’s not interested in family get togethers, going out with his wife and family for fun outings, going on vacation. Nothing. He’s not interesting in doing nothing unless its kissing his upline’s ass and going to Amway functions.

Then there’s the finances. Credit cards are being maxed out so the ambot can buy as many Amway products as his upline bullies him into doing. Gotta get that PV up there so some upline fucker can meet that month’s goals! Bank account is dwindling. Bills are not being paid. Rent or mortgage is a few months late and perhaps eviction or foreclosure proceedings have been started. No marriage needs that kind of stress added on to the participation in Amway being the cause of it.

Their credit scores have gone down the toilet.

And just a few months ago their marriage was great. There was no debt. They had some savings. Bills were never overdue. They were having fun together and loving life.

Then the evil monster named Amway took a shit on their marriage.

Wives can tolerate a lot of things from their husbands. There’s always that one ugly piece of furniture they want in the house. Or that Rolling Stones T shirt they had to buy. They always have some dipshit asshole for a friend that the wife can’t stand. They go through weird phases like when they decided buying a 4 wheeler was a good idea.

The problem with Amway is that the wife ends up having all her husband’s new friends turn against her if she doesn’t join him and stand by his side smiling stupidly at him and keeping quiet like a good little ambot wife. The upline ambots do everything they can to destroy the marriage telling the ambot his wife is a dream stealer, negative, unchristian, a loser. What ever those troublemaking bastards brainwash the ambot into believing. They are hell bent to destroy the marriage because she doesn’t support the Amway business and doesn’t want to put any more money into it or go further into debt trying futilely to be part of the less than 1% of IBO’s who actually earn money at Amway. She knows a business with a 99% failure rate has the odds stacked against them from the start. There are better ways to invest their money. Common sense decisions like that and cutting off money to the great Amway gods makes ambots scream out every lie they can to turn the husband against her.

The wife has fallen into a dark place when she has to hit the Internet with the question asking if she should stay in Amway even though its breaking up their marriage.

What does she kick out? Amway or the ambot?

How Many Ambots Can You Stuff in a Tent?

Just spent a week camping in Big Sur in California's central coast. This was the first place my husband and I went camping together and I love it here, its so peaceful and beautiful scenery. Some of our family got together and one of my friends near San Francisco got down for a couple of days. Kind of nice being away from computers and TVs for awhile and hanging out.

 

The campsite across from ours was occupied for most of the time by a bunch of young women in their 20's. I couldn't keep track of exactly how many there were but I guess about 12 give or take 2. It was hard to say because they were coming and going a lot I guess to buy supplies. They actually had 2 campsites and had showed up in 4 cars and parked 2 in each site. They had one tent. I didn't think it was all that big a tent for how many of them there were. Perhaps one or two slept in their cars I don't know. I wasn't watching their sleeping arrangements! I kept expecting a bunch of guys to show up but none did.

 

Then I got to thinking what if they are ambots. I doubt it in this case otherwise they'd have been all over us trying to sell their Amway shit. But it got me thinking about how many ambots try to cram into one hotel room at Scamway functions to try to save money. Though I guess one guy is responsible for paying the hotel bill and hopes the rest of the group coughs up some money. To really save money bring a tent and find somewhere to put it up. So how many ambots can you cram into a tent that could be pitched in a park, the front lawn of the arena, a vacant lot, or wherever. I don't know. 20 ambots in a tent? Tent city at an Amway function. Classy!

 

And what to bring along to eat on a camping trip? Here are some things that normal people might bring along on a camping trip: single size cereal boxes, eggs, bacon, bread, peanut butter, tin foods, hot dogs, hamburgers, steak, potatoes, cookies, marshmallows, potato chips, pop, beer.

 

What would an ambot pack in their cooler for a camping trip? Not much. Shitty food bars, XS, Nutrilite vitamins, perfectly expensive water.

 

What do normal people do for fun while camping? Depends on the location but things like swimming if there's a lake or ocean nearby, hiking, reading, chatting and catching up, telling scary stories around the campfire. Sometimes there's a park ranger who gives chats or does nature walks. The area might be suitable for activities like ATVing, 4 wheeling, biking, waterskiing.

 

What does an ambot do on a camping trip? Talk about Amway because that's all their lives are consumed with. How about harrassing other campers by trying to prospect them. Using lines like "see that big RV over there? Wouldn't you like to own one like that? You can buy a brand new one in 6 months if you sign up with Amway and find 6 other people to sign up. You could buy a new RV every year." Scary stories around the campfire? Just talking about Amway will accomplish that scary story criteria! And ambots have nothing else to talk about. Their old lives have been removed from them and their entire existence revolves around Amway and Amway products and Amway meetings and Amway fiends. No thats not a typo! Like I used to hear at Amway functions - what else is out there except for Amway.

 

If you're an ambot the answer is nothing.

 

If you're a normal well rounded person the possibilities are endless.

 

Instead of asking how many ambots can fit in a tent the question should be how many ambots would want to camp out in a tent? Probably zippo because ambots believe that is beneath their dignity. All those videos we saw at Amway meetings and functions the ambots were travelling first class if they weren't on a private jet and staying at 5* hotels. Not camping. There's no place for a tent when ambots have a fake it till you make it image to project.

How 2 Broke Girls Get Even Broker the Amway Way

Has everyone been watching a show that premiered on CBS last year called 2 Broke Girls. It’ll be coming back on September 24. Anyway here is a piece I wrote last summer before it started airing and all I had to go on was the previews. I wasn’t sure if it would be a show I’d watch but I’ve been enjoying it and I hope you enjoy my ambot version!

 

http://www.cbs.com/shows/2_broke_girls/

 

The premise is two girls in their twenties who are roommates and work as waitresses. They’re trying to raise a couple of hundred thousand dollars so they can open a cupcake store but in the meantime they are barely scraping by.

 

Gee don’t they just sound like prime targets for some crazed ambot?

 

You know the bullshit lines those IBO’s use on people like what do you do for a living and if its some minimum wage type job then the ambot jumps all over them.

 

Wouldn’t you like to be making an extra $2000/month working part time from home?

 

Sure, who wouldn’t?

 

What about your dreams?

 

Owning a cupcake bakery.

 

How much money will that take.

 

A couple of hundred thousand.

 

Hey how would you like to be making a couple of hundred thousand dollars a year working part time from home.

 

That’s how it always starts.

 

Then when the IBO digs deeper and finds they’re barely scraping by, their eyes light up and they rub their hands together in glee. Got a prospect!

 

The problem is if those 2 broke girls sign up with Amway if they thought they were broke now they don’t know the meaning of the word broke! Spend at least $300/month to meet the minimum PV requirement to get a bonus check of around $10. Then there’s Premier Membership to WWDB for $50/month, Communikate for $40/month, books and CDs at least $100/month, and $10 for every Amway meeting attended in the month. If its a major function cost of ticket, food, travel, and hotel, at least $1000.

 

After a few months the 2 broke girls have thrown at least $5000 at the Amway scheme and are way deep in the hole. They had a couple of friends buy Amway products at the beginning but their friends don’t want to buy from them anymore because they can buy similar products at Walmart that are better quality and cost less money. As hard as they prospect every customer that walks in the door of the restaurant they can’t convince anyone to come to an Amway meeting. They’ve even tried all the tricks upline suggested inviting prospects to a tea party, movie night, or beer bust disguised as an Amway event.

 

The 2 broke girls find themselves getting broker and broker by the second thanks to the Amway scheme.

 

They decide to quit.

 

Their upline rides their asses.

 

“You can’t quit now. Not when success is right around the corner.”

 

“Only losers aren’t in Amway.”

 

“I guess your dream of owning a cupcake store just wasn’t big enough.”

 

“Think of all those poor homeless little cupcakes that are going to die because you don’t open up a store and sell them.”

 

The 2 broke girls tell their upline to fuck off and die.

 

To celebrate getting the Amway albatross off their necks they stop at a 7-11 on the way home and buy a lottery ticket. They win half a million dollars and are able to open their cupcake shop anyway. Unfortunately it becomes a hang out for ambots to hold meetings at and they pester the cupcake clients. The 2 formerly broke girls file a complaint with Amway’s head office who don’t give a shit and do nothing.

 

Well if you can’t beat them join them. The 2 formerly broke girls start to offer ambots free chocolate cupcakes and that really packs their restaurant when word gets out.

 

Specially made for Amway IBO’s they’re loaded with ex-lax.

 

Ironically out of service signs always are posted on the cupcake store’s restrooms whenever ambots are in there.

 

And they said Amway doesn’t give a shit!

 

The Clunker Brigade!

Part of the bullshit taught at our Amway meetings was “fake it till you make it”. And always lie. All good little IBO’s must lie about how good business is going even when they’re losing hundreds of dollars each month. If they tell the truth they’d never recruit anyone.

 

IBO’s were also taught to look the part of successful business men and women. This meant putting on business suits, owning a cell phone with texting capabilities, attending all meetings, and driving high end cars to give off the appearance of a successful business person.

 

I’ve never been much of a car person. I like safe, reliable cars that don’t break down. Good gas mileage is something else I look for when buying a car. High end or low end, makes no difference to me. I’m no snob. 

 

In our group IBO’s were told to drive upper end cars like Cadillacs, Jaguars, and BMW’s. And most IBO’s did buy them - vintage 1970’s and 1980’s rust buckets. Cars that broke down all the time but what else do you expect from cars that have over 300,000 miles on them and probably only got regular engine maintenance for the first few years when they were owned by people who could afford them brand new and kept them in good shape.

 

I never saw so many junker cars than what our upline were driving. When there was a board plan at someone’s house the street would be littered with these old heaps so we knew we were getting close to our destination.

 

But that was what IBO’s were brainwashed into buying by our Platinum. He even insulted some people’s cars though they looked OK to me, just weren’t the successful image the bastard wanted the IBO to portray. The sack of shit Platinum wanted me to sell my newer model Toyata Matrix and buy an old BMW so we could say we owned one. I had zero interest in buying an older car that would probably cost me a lot in maintenance. I'd bought my car 3 months before Ambot signed up again with Amway and it took me awhile to find it and I was happy with it so I was NOT going to spend more time looking for another car so soon. At least I own a reliable car manufactured in this century. That’s more than the rest of you assholes can say! The sack of shit was especially annoyed one day when he looked in my car and saw we were carrying business supplies in there - our business that is, nothing to do with Amway. He told Ambot that my car was supposed to only be used for transporting people and Amway tools and products. I told Ambot to give him a message from me: “Tough shit.”

 

Somehow I doubt that message got passed along!

 

Amway meetings must have brought down the neighborhood’s house values with all the clunkers parked down the street thanks to the army of Amway warriors driving to business meetings in their IBO specials like Lincoln Town Cars with leaky sunroofs and bumpers held on with twine. IBO’s would carefully get out of their cars hoping the door with the rusty hinges wouldn’t fall into the street.

 

Driving a Beamer or Caddy that’s seen better days, dressed in a business suit, and clutching a cell phone doesn’t make a person a sharp, successful businessman no matter what fake image they are using to impress others. No matter what the sack of shit Platinum tells you it makes you look even worse driving an ugly gas guzzler that has a good chance of not starting when you turn the key in the ignition.

 

Yup living their fairy tale lives in the Amway land of make belief. A clunker of a high end car, the latest cell phone with huge monthly fees, and a business suit. Bunch of immature fools marching off to the latest Amway business meeting, ready to listen to more fairy tales and play “fake it till you make it” in a phoney business venture.

 

The Stepford Ambots

I remember seeing the original Stepford Wives movie on TV back in the days when the networks did more made for TV movies. I also have the DVD of the screen version starring Matthew Broderick and Nicole Kidman.

 

What was going on in Stepford is also going on in Amway. In the movie the wives are controlled by their husbands who are always attending men’s club meetings and are ultimately controlled by one or two men who are the leaders. Depending on which movie you’re familiar with the women are either murdered and robots take their place or they have a computer disk inserted in their brain that controls them.

 

Either way the women - or keeping up with the times in the newer version which included a gay couple and zapped one man - become mindless submissive robots controlled by their husbands. Oh and the wives fawn all over their men with unnatural over the top devotion and dedication. Very much like zombies.

 

Very much like ambots.

 

This is what I saw in the Amway cult.

 

Men’s club meetings. The Amway meetings were male oriented always led by a male cult leader. Some wives attended Amway meetings with their husbands. Many men were single and coming stag to the Amway meetings. Many married men came stag too after their wives became fed up with the mind control bullshit and losing money. Some meetings were just men only no women allowed. Who remembers the clubhouses we had when we were kids and the boys usually had a “girls keep out” sign hanging outside. Like that. These men only Amway meetings are where the cult leaders try to cause trouble in their downline’s marriages and destroy their relationships.

 

To become a Stepford Amford ambot one must do whatever the scum sucking upline demands. They have to say the things the upline wants to hear, wear the clothes the upline wants you to wear, eat the snacks the upline wants you to eat, buy the things upline wants you to buy, drop whatever you’re doing and rush to the upline’s side if they beckon, etc, etc.

 

I have to stop. Sometimes I find it really sickening to relive these memories but I know by writing them down and sharing the anguish I went through that I can help others.

 

Wives had to display this over the top zombie like devotion to their husbands. Just watch those Ken and Barbies stomping across the stage at Amway functions. Barbie might have a few words to say but mostly she stands there gazing adoringly at Warrior Ken.

 

I don’t know about the rest of you guys but my husband gets really nervous if I’m staring him down!

 

That’s what life is like once you sign up with Amway. Welcome to Stepford Amford! Leave your brain at the door. You are now an ambot.

How Good A Liar Are You?

If someone is a good liar then they have the potential to be part of the less than 1% of IBO’s who make money at Amway. This is because you have to lie all the time when recruiting prospects or finding customers to buy overpriced shit.

Some of the lies that IBO’s are expected to tell:

 

“No, this isn’t Amway. We just use Amway to move our products.”

 

“Where else can you work a business 10 hours a week and earn $100,000/year.”

 

“After a few months you will be making thousands of dollars.”

 

“Business is going great!”

 

“You will save money by buying from your own store.”

 

“Everything to do with the business is tax deductible.”

 

“We’re debt free. We pay for everything in cash.”

 

“Amway saves marriages. There’s a low divorce rate in Amway.”

 

“People who don’t succeed in Amway are either lazy or they didn’t try hard enough.”

 

“Now is the time to get on board because exciting changes are about to happen.”

 

“People who are not involved with Amway are broke losers.”

 

“Tools are optional.”

 

“We will buy back your tools if you leave the business.”

 

“We sell high quality products and they’re reasonably priced for their high quality.”

 

“You will collect residual income for the rest of your lives.”

 

“I work with a team of millionaires developing online businesses.”

 

Its really amazing how ambots can spout off these lies and then claim they’re running an ethical business.

 

This shit just makes my skin crawl because everytime I heard an ambot say one of these lines I knew I was in the presence of a lying son of a bitch and I was very uncomfortable.

 

Our Husband’s Amway Mistress

Usually it is our husbands who are approached by a friend who tells them about an amazing business opportunity. A home based business where they work 10 to 15 hours a week and can earn an extra $1000 a month or more by selling Amway products and signing up other IBO’s who will also purchase Amway products and sign up others to do the same, and so on and so on. At first the wife might be sceptical. You know the old phrase about how if it sounds too good to be true it probably is. The numbers look good on paper but in actuality it doesn’t seem believable that this can this be pulled off.

 

When our husbands get excited about something we want to be supportive. It doesn’t take long before we stop being supportive and end up getting more and more pissed off. Husband is sneaking around like he has a mistress on the side. And sure enough he does. A mistress called Amway. He’s out of the house for endless hours attending Amway meetings sneaking back in the house in the early morning hours after we’ve gone to sleep. He’s spending money like crazy on his mistress. Money he doesn’t have so he uses a line of credit, home equity loan, or credit cards. You know when he whips out the plastic he pretends he’s not really paying for it. After all it is a pretend business. That is until the bills roll in and then paying back real money is not so pretend any more.

 

After awhile the wife has had enough. She never sees her husband and their bank account is diminishing while their debt is going through the roof. “Choose your mistress or choose me.” Fortunately most men come to their senses and realize for all their hard work, time, and effort they are not getting the money back that was dangled in front of them when they were first looking into this exciting business opportunity and they stop going to Amway meetings and throwing away their money.

 

That’s the short version of every wife’s horror tale about their husband’s Amway mistress.

 

Many of us are lucky enough to have our ambots come to their senses. Usually because they’ve had enough of the upline’s abuse and the realization that the promised riches ain’t never gonna happen. All the ambots who promised to be best friends forever and ever abandon him. Can be kind of tough on some men who actually liked these people and thought they liked him. Wrong. They only liked his money because he was helping make their dreams come true.

“Amway saves marriages. There’s a low divorce rate in Amway.”
