Its funny because when your in your 20's and early 30's the lure of the whole get rich quick scheme is incredibly powerful.

You can run your own business. Make thousands a week from your house blah blah blah.

I had so many friends trying to get me to buy reverse ion air filters. specifically health beneficial metal bracelets. Various amway products that it became a full time job telling them to go away.

On top of that beyond buying, you'd get the "You'd be great at this you should come to an event this weekend"

I almost was tempted to put up a no solicitation sign at my front door.

And then when they fail at the first time, they'd move on to the next one and the next one after that.

Then when you hit your 40's and you start posting your resume on line you get constant phonecalls from Primerica and other shady financial services companies. Become a millionaire in 5 years, you just have to sell life insurance to your family members and manage their money

Yech.
