[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My sis in law has fallen for a few of these (not LLR but probably because their startup was unusually high).

She was married to a guy in the military (he got out) and was the primary earner.  They live in a conservative area so there's this constant pressure on women to stay home with their kids.  But at least my ex BIL was never really stable in a job so my SIL was always the primary earner and didn't have the option to stay at home.  She never got too deep into these but you can see why some women do.

[b]MLMs target women with this guilt and pressure to stay at home.  They sell them on this image of a lifestyle of a stay at home.mom who can still support their family and have the stuff they want for their kids but can't afford right now.

They also put out cult messages.  Anyone who doesn't support your "business" doesn't support you and should be dropped.  And if it's not working you're not trying hard enough so buy more and invest more.  At some point sunk cost fallacy comes into play.

The truth is when you look at the stats 99% of people who do these lose money, pretty much across the board in every MLM.

It's very predatory and plays on the working mom guilt or financial pressure these SAHM feel in military or more conservative communities.  They're huge in Utah, for instance.[/b][/quote]

Great and accurate post.[/quote]
