I've had a couple of ambots leave comments on my blog who are 19, 20 years old and they're all going to retire in a year. Yeah, yeah. Maybe if you win the lottery.
I found this article about a couple who did retire early by age 45 and they have some tips here.
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/5-Tips-From-Early-usnews-1623112451.html
The husband worked as a technical writer and that's really only a recent career that's been around for about 20 years. The wife was a travel agent, a commission based job, but she went back to nursing school. These aren't extraordinarily high paying jobs.
They owned a house and were looking to cut housing costs but there wasn't too much room there so they rented out part of their house. I have a couple of different friends who take in foreign exchange students in their house. It doesn't pay all that well but I'd say enough to cover the monthly grocery bill and maybe a good chunk of the gas bill. Another friend of ours converted his garage into an apartment and he lived in there and rented out his house. I think a lot of people can convert part of their house into another living space to rent out if their city zoning laws allow for it and that helps pay the mortage or utility bills. I knew someone whose house was occasionally used for movie and TV shoots, exterior shots and use of the yard. Movie crews never came inside. That's one of the advantages of being a home owner instead of a renter. You can use your home to create income.
They saved their money and invested it and eventually sold their house and invested the equity. Now they travel the world. Unlike Amway Diamonds they live below their means. They seek out inexpensive places to stay and choose countries where the cost of living is low. They do not rule out taking on temporary work to supplement their income and investments.
That's the complete opposite of what we're taught in Amway: working a job is failure.
Not everyone can live like this couple not having any place that they can call home. Staying in one place for a few months and moving on to a new destination. Its not something that could easily be done if there is a family in tow.
Their plan of retiring by age 45 and traveling the world is much better than the Amway business plan of walking the beaches of the world. One is reality. The other is a fairy tale.
If all the Ambots retired from their J.O.B. Amway would fold overnight because how else but with the paycheck from the J.O.B. would they have any $$ in the first place to keep pissing it up and away into the Amway pyramid by buying overpriced Amway products?
ReplyDeleteThat's right Anonymous. When you have an expensive hobby - like belonging to an inclusive shopping club that charges big bucks for social gatherings - you got to have a J.O.B. to pay for it all.
DeleteThose 20-year-old Amway IBOs who come here and brag that they are going to retire before they are 30 are either deluded, or lying.
ReplyDeleteNOBODY in Amway quits, not even the Diamonds. DeVos and Van Andel themselves admitted this years ago, when they said that it was wrong to tell prospective recruits that persons could leave the Amway business and live on "residual income."
That shithead IBOFightback used to claim that he got a check every month from Amway, even though he was no longer active in the business. What he didn't say was that the check was his salary from the Amway Corporation for acting as an internet shill for them.
Anonymous - those Amway Ambots are both deluded and lying. Brainwashed by lying scamming Amway cult leaders to believe the retire before 30 dream.
DeleteNobody in Amway quits because their "business" would dry up if they weren't cracking the whip on Ambots in the downline.
We have a post somewhere around here where we talk about people who could stop working right now and never have to worry about paying their bills. On that list are people like Oprah and Bill Gates. No Ambots on that list. And why don't people like Oprah and Bill Gates retire? Because they're not lazy. People in Amway tend to be lazy believing the whole get rich quick scheme and then the ambots go around accusing everyone else of being lazy. Rich people who don't retire like to keep busy and increase their wealth. And most likely they love their career.
Yeah that fucking Amway asshole IBOFB one of the biggest motherfucking lying Amway losers out there was lying about the check from Amway not being residual income as pay for being a fucktard. Until the time came when Amway figured out they had a shitload of Ambots willing to do the same J.O.B. - run around the Internet making assholes out of themselves and assholes out of Amway for free. Why pay for a service you can get for free. Good business decision.
