Another Amway Ambot Loses His Job

Thanks to a reader sharing her story of being married to an Amway Ambot. She mentions a common problem for women who are married to Ambots. How do we convince our husbands that buying products from drug stores and grocery stores saves us tons of money over buying similar substandard overpriced products from Amway. It’s common sense to save money especially when you’re unemployed.

Hi AB, I am also married to an ambot. We just bought a house and few weeks after the possession date he got laid off from his job, since then I was shouldering our mortgage payments, household bills and groceries because I thought he doesn't have enough money to pay for car and insurance and cellphone bills but then last night he was asking me to join him to go to an out of town spring leadership weekend on April, I was surprised that he was saving money to spend for that event while me on the other hand was struggling to pay the bulk of payments that we're suppose to share. We don't have a joint savings account because I chose not ro and I don't want him to spend my hard earned money buying super expensive products from Amway, he's spending around $200-$300 a month buying stuffs that he doesn't care about before like energy drink and bars, vitamins, etc. And he sometimes gets mad at me if I buy products from lical pharmacy which are way more affordable than Amway peoducts, he always say that he earn money just by doing that, which I disagree becauae if he'll buy the cheaper counter part he'll save tons of money. It's common sense, I can't fathom how can he not get it. Right now I'm starting to get tired of our situation. I feel like I need a break from all of this.


My response

Hi Anonymous - Yup another story of an Amway ambot losing his job. Probably because of his attitude to his coworkers, bragging that he's a business owner and they'll be broke losers for the rest of their lives working for someone else. And doing Amway business on company time. Seen a lot of ambots lose their jobs when we were in the Amway cult.

I know exactly how you feel. There are bills to be paid, important ones, and when money is tight due to unemployment money shouldn't be frittered away on unnecessary extras. And spending $300/month on shitty overpriced Amway products when you can buy similar stuff that's better quality at Walmart for much cheaper is stupid. It's all about qualifying to earn that $10 commission from Amway every month. And unnecessary expenses when money is tight probably means eliminating buying bottled water, energy drinks, food bars, etc no matter what the price!

And him saving up to go to Spring Leadership while you're busting your ass to cover the bills is incredible to the outside world but not so much to someone inside the Amway cult.

We all need a break from Amway when our husbands our stuck inside the cult. But before you take a break, talk to someone at your bank, they'll have financial advisors. Then maybe talk to a lawyer. You need to get your ducks in a row because Amway is all about destroying lives. Bankruptcy, foreclosure, divorce are all part of being in Amway. Its hard for a marriage to survive financial stress but added stress of one person being inside a cult is vicious. You need to figure out where you stand in case things go worse. And trust me when he gets back from Spring Leadership he'll be all "fired up" and bragging that he's "going big". That'll last a week.

Good luck.
