My next career is going to be in the baby industry for sure. Similar to weddings, you can upsell a lot of people using excitement, convenience and comfort, but people can upsell even more on fear.
We learned very quckly that there is a lot of good stuff in our social circle not being used and ended up saving a ton of cash after our little guy was born and our friends kids outgrew their stuff.
