just say no

I told Chal a long time ago that I would post about all the really lame gimmicks that I have fallen for in my lifetime. She thinks it's funny. And it is. We laugh lots about it. But, the sad thing is, I could have a really nice savings account with all the money that I have stupidly put into the following schemes. Don't laugh, cuz I know I am not alone. Hey, Utah is the mecca of MLM. But, wisdom comes with age and experience, (and a really cool husband that is way smart and would kill me if I allowed myself to be succored once again) But, with no further ado. Here goes: Mary Kay USANA Nu Skin Dr. Wallach's Majestic-Earth Minerals Nikken Magnets Uni-tel GreenTeaHP Calorad HerbaLife Isogenix Fruit Plus Squalane-shark liver oil And then there are the most recent that I actually said NO to: Kyani Sxinny water Form,Fixx,Fibe Seven Anyone else up to making me the following promises? Cuz guess what? That list up there... at the top. NONE of them made me a millionaire, but all of them promised they would, and the really lame thing about it is: I gave them LOTS of my money, and I do not own a yacht or a really huge mansion. Nope, I don't. "Our product is the first of it's kind in the world" "We are not a pyramid scheme, we have product" "If you fail in MLM, it is because of your own failure, not the system" "This is the chance to become a millionaire with little capital" "Very flexible working hours, you can do it anywhere, at home, day or night" "With the amount of income you will get, you can think of retiring early and spending the rest of your life on vacation" "Our system is different from other MLM's in the market. In short, our system is unique" "If I can, of course you can" In conclusion, I have learned to just say no.
