That World Ventures/Dream trips shyt is the worst. People holding up those blue "You Should Be Here" signs.

They really think they getting discounts off a vacation. I can probably get a better vacation package off groupon.

I seen cats on my FB feed with those signs literally standing in a blizzard and 1 ft of snow like :heh:

One of my homegirls told me this guy she knew hit her up about a week ago and wanted to have a 30 min meeting with her over drinks. She then tells me that he is always talking about "his" business how he gets to travel all the time for his "marketing" job :usure:

A couple of my church members are on that "Total Life Changes" MLM bullcrap.
They drink and sell these "Weight loss" and "Energy Drink" products that aren't regulated by any standard.
Now mind you, they are indeed losing weight, but what's going to happen to their bodies??
And what's going to happen to them when they stop being able to afford the drinks or when the MLM finally takes the money and runs (like they all do).

Right now, there's a bunch of flabby looking people at my church looking disgusting because they refuse to exercise. They just drink the shakes and think that's all it takes.

I can't wait to see them in 2 years from now...if they're even alive still.

Lol, Ive had 3 people in the last 6 months pitch me MLM in an attempt to sell me. They see me everyday running my own business, making $. " I see you like working for yourself", "Youre a "go getter" etc, etc.
I just lol and "no thanks Jeff"
I was pitched Vemma (skinny cute white girl), some team group motivation cd/book crap(Older Mexican man) and something else called Extgen (Older blk man in Benz)?

Forex trading is no "trick" Its legit, as long as youre experienced and you do it yourself or in an interactive trading room. You can lose your life savings in a split second using too much leverage. Im a trader and I cant handle Forex. Its insane. Most guys build trading systems run by computer on that.

You should come to the boiler room thread in higher learning.
