I’d say just about every Amway meeting we attended one of the scare tactics the speaker used to say was “Social security won’t be there when you retire”.
Well how do they know? I’m
pretty sure it will be. But I suppose like any other guesses the speaker has a
50/50 shot of getting that prediction right. So do I!
Even though I think social security will be there when I retire we have other
investments and savings and a combination of all are what I hope will sustain
us for the rest of our lives. Or my life anyway. I plan to live until at least
100 and keep dishing shit on Amway Ambots! I just know I’m going to outlive
everyone. Those broke Amway losers might be dead by age 65 but I’ll keep on
ticking!
People need to make decisions during their working years and hopefully most
start some sort of retirement savings plan in their 20’s and add other
investments to it over the years. For example save up a down payment for house
while in your 20’s. Buy that house in your 20’s or 30’s and by your 50’s or
certainly by retirement age your house will be paid in full. Knock off that
mortgage payment and that’s a big part of monthly expenses that goes away. Also
get rid of any outstanding debt by retirement age and don’t incur any further
debt and that will make retirement years less stressful.
Those are the big things. Reaching retirement age without debt and owning your
own home are huge. I mean who wants to hit retirement age and still be a renter
unless you’ve downsized, sold your house and living off the proceeds. If
renting at some point in your life because it fits into your financial plan
then that’s your plan. If you follow the Amway plan you’ll be a renter forever.
That’s hundreds of dollars you pay each month to a landlord because of poor
planning in younger years and throwing your money tithing the Great Amway God.
In aprevious post I estimated average monthly expenses in
Amwayaround $700. The unknown factor is if this is disposable income or if
IBO’s are running up their credit card (probably the latter!). That monthly
$700 could be redirected to a mortgage payment instead of being flushed down
the Amway toilet.
Our upline's goal was to strike fear in people’s hearts to
scare new prospects to sign up to the Amway cult. For a bunch of bastards
who extol the virtues of “don’t say negative” they’re the most negative people
I’ve ever met. Full of doom and gloom about the future, businesses shutting
down, recession, people losing jobs, social security won’t be there, and blah,
blah, blah. Who needs to listen to the negative shit that goes on in Amway cult
meetings?
The fucking assholes in the Amway upline scare the IBO’s into thinking that
social security won’t be there when they retire so they need to find some other
income. Any other plans IBO’s have the upline pokes fun at them and puts them
down. According to the "wisdom" of our upline bastards Amway is the
only choice and all you have to do is spend 2 to 5 years working part time 10
to 15 hours a week doing the work in order to live off residual income for the
rest of your life. Freedom!
Yeah right. There are better options out there than throwing your money at
Amway chasing futile dreams.
Don’t think negative like the fucking assholes in our Amway upline. Think
positive. Social security will be there when you turn 66. (I got a 50% chance
of getting that prediction right!)
Forget social security. With luck Amway won’t be around when I retire! Ha ha
ha! 50% chance of me getting that prediction right too!
And one more time from marriedtoanambot let’s just send another big old FUCK
YOU out to Amway Scamway and their scammer army of Ambots.
Social Security is the one American institutions that is absolutely sacred. No politician would DARE to try and change it or abolish it. He would be torn to shreds by an enraged populace.
ReplyDeleteMillions of Americans depend almost exclusively on their Social Security checks. If they retired at 65, and live another thirty years, they'll be collecting from a rock-solid money source that no government will dare to meddle with.
Persons in Amway who tell IBOs that Social Security won't be there for them are TOTAL LIARS, and they know that they are TOTAL LIARS. And anyone who believes that Social Security will collapse is a clueless moron. Every politician knows that it is the lethal Third Rail of American politics -- even suggesting that you want to fiddle around with it will get you electrocuted in a flash.
This lie about the collapse of Social Security is without doubt the BIGGEST and STUPIDEST lie that the Amway Corporation has had the nerve to spread around.
Anonymous - yes thanks to FDR many Americans can have a little money coming in after they retire if they weren't working a job with a pension - which is the majority of citizens - or able to save for retirement which again is about half the population. And even the other half maybe they have $10,000 saved. Or less than $50,000. Amway losers for sure will be glad for social security after losing all their money in ScAmway instead of putting that same amount into a retirement account. Amway cult leaders are a bunch of fucking liars and that no social security when you retire scare tactic to bully recruits into signing up unfortunately is something they have some success at doing. Those poor suckers never heard the phrase about not everything you hear is true. And when it comes to Amway - everything you hear is a LIE!
DeleteI don't have much knowledge of the American Social Security System. I am more of an expert in the Australian Superannuation System (which is analogous). I think your SSS works by taking a portion of your income and putting it into a government account. So instead of earning $100 a week (say), you get $90 and $10 gets placed into the SSS where it compounds over the years so that you can draw down upon it when you retire. You are sacrificing dollars today in order to have dollars to spend in your old age. Assuming that I have your system at least a basic level understood, why would anyone except the truly foolish consider Amway to be equivalent? If any of Amway's claims are true you should have many millionaires in your circle, all of whom worked for three years and who now have bucks coming in each week without their needing to do any work at all. Since you don't know anyone like this at all, you can reasonably conclude that the Amway claims are rubbish. Perhaps the SSS will close. Certainly your current crop of politicians might make that a real possibility but even a failed SSS is many times better than a 100% failure rate in Amway.
ReplyDeleteHi AussieCowboy. And there you go. I never even heard about the Australian Superannuation System until you brought it up! And you're right. You have to look around when you first come to an Amway cult meeting and find out how long people have been worshipping and tithing the Great Amway God. Most of them a few months. But a handful will be many years. The lifers. Totally blowing the Amway lie that after 2 to 5 years they'll have bazillions of dollars in residual income rolling in from Amway every month. These devoted Ambots should have been millionaires by now. There will no millionaires at any Amway living room session I went to when at least 3 or 4 lifers were in attendance. Can not say for sure about the larger Amway functions. Could be some millionaires in the room by something totally unrelated to Amway. Maybe an inheritance or selling real estate or whatever. It's like the old joke. How do you become a millionaire Amway? You start with 2 million. And then hopefully you leave the Amway cult and try to save some of that leftover million. Yeah we don't even want to talk about the current administration but I doubt even they would ever dare close SS. They could be a better job of shutting Amway down is all I'll say.
