Buttcoiners and redditors in general are really bad at disguising themselves in posts like these, and since this dude is in the Venn overlap it's even more certain.

By this point I should know how it all works (not to be confused with It Works!™), but what the hell are filling up sales volume and sales buckets? Buying product for yourself to look like you're an effective seller, and then hoping you can hustle and grind to unload it next month and drain out some of the piss in your well? Also, I just started watching Schitt's Creek last week on Netflix, and S01E08 has two characters try and trick a bunch of locals* into joining a cosmetics MLM with a surprise party. Edit: locals, not lake SpelledBackwards fucked around with this message at 13:26 on Jun 23, 2019 |

Buying product for yourself to look like you're an effective seller, and then hoping you can hustle and grind to unload it next month and drain out some of the piss in your well? This is Rodan + Fields (MLM skincare products). Their compensation structure is based on the "sales volume bucket" -- you get paid the retail margin on anything you sell, which depends on how much above wholesale price you're willing to try to sell things for, but you only get paid the bonus "consultant commissions" of an extra 10% of the wholesale price if you do 100 points worth of sales activity in that month. Someone who's struggling to fill that bucket is heavily encouraged to buy something for themselves from themselves so they can keep qualifying for consultant commissions, because their "executive consultants" (the people uplines of them) get points towards their "personally sponsored qualified volume bucket", which gives them a cut of 5% of all the sales by consultants they've recruited.

FrozenVent posted:This is what’s going to happen to everyone who collected anything as an investment, FWIW. I've got a pile of old Beatles magazines my mom saved since the 1960's. I just checked eBay and they're worth about what they were in the 1960's when adjusted for inflation. Awesome ROI there. These are going to Goodwill. She did have 2 unused Beatles tickets for a 1964 concert that she sold at auction for a fair amount of money. 10 dollars in 1960's money worked out to $2500 now. But unless you have like 200 of those tickets you're not going to retire on it.

You know, I could have seen the Beatles, but look at this loving couch I was able to buy with those tickets.

That band was just a fad -- they're not even together anymore. But a quality couch can be passed down from generation to generation!

And I don't really blame them! It took hundreds of hours of listing and dealing with bidders/potential bidders by e-mail, and it was 5 danged years before we'd sold the last doll that seemed to be worth anything. Their price was cash on the spot and our doll problem solved, they factored in all the tedious work they'd be saving us. Sorry to dredge up the past: Dik Hz posted:NC isn't bad until it rains. Not the best, not the worst. But when I-40 gets wet, oh god save us all. That’s true everywhere. Rain increases overall risk of fatal car accidents by 34%. “The risk is significant in all regions of the continental United States,” even in light rain. (Stevens 2019) As a weather professional it is my duty to keep others safe from weather hazards. Dying is GWM but ending up in the hospital is BWM so plz treat driving in rainy conditions with fear and respect.

Switchback posted:Hey cool you can have a 5+ year horrible tedious part-time job making barely enough money to cover your initial investment. It’s like these collector types don’t value their time at all. Is that actually “fun” for some people? There's a limit to how much time you have that you can value. Realistically, you're never able to take on unlimited hours so your time is worthless beyond how many hours you can work at work. If you're salaried, your time beyond your base salary is literally worthless.

If you're rich your collectibles just become more expensive so you see more money change hands at a time. My friend's dad was big into restoring WWII airplanes. Usually lost money, but that's what retirement is for I guess.

If you're salaried, your time beyond your base salary is literally worthless. Outside of work my time is worth $x/hr. Because I won't give up my not work time for less than that... I figure $50/hr at minim. Which is why I pay someone to change my oil but will do my own brakes. The $40 premium that paying for an oil change costs is worth not having to drag all my poo poo out, jack up the car, do the oil change and then clean all the poo poo up.

Two car payment looking to get a mortgage in a complicated dilemmaquote:As the title states, we are looking to buy our first home within the next 6-8 months. Wife is a nurse starting her career with 35k/year gross pay. Yes, I know nurses do make a lot more but she’s doing an entry level job with a home health care agency that provides flexible hours and 1on1 care opportunity.

Although a brand new nurse at $35k should be setting their sights lower. Is she an LPN? I though I was getting crappy starting RN pay 6 years ago at ~$42k in Orlando, FL, but wow, how times have changed. Have to take out a $26,000 private bank loan for my first year of college quote:I am an independent student and I was given $27,000 in financial aid, but I still have to somehow cover the remaining $26,000. My only option left now is to take out a private bank loan, as the $27,000 I was given already includes federal loans, scholarships, work study, and grants. Around how much debt will I be graduating with if let’s say I have to take out $26,000 every year for four years (including interest)? Which private loan would be the best to take out in this case? Thank you! I’m really worried about my future and I really don’t want to graduate with hundred of thousands of debt. Guess the major computer science

Good thing we aren't actively trying to start a war, or she might end up being shipped out and that income would disappear.

A Proper Uppercut posted:I'm not sure if this is more appropriate for the BWM or Shadenfreude threads, but we'll go here for now. Quoting this from a while ago. Apparently this guy has not been paying his mortgage either for over a year. He had to leave work early this morning for an emergency meeting, with who I assume is the bank. His house is going up for auction Friday. He was talking to our boss over the weekend asking how he can liquidate his 401k to maybe stop this from happening, I don't know. I'd feel bad for him if he wasn't such a raging rear end in a top hat. Nothing has happened with the taxes yet but he is still not paying them either.
