<prompt> Human: Hey Personal Finance redditors so Im in a little bit of a predicament. So im a Resident Advisor at a university and one of my residents whilst talking with the guy and getting to know him mentioned that he was involved with a project that was helping him form a long-term financial asset. After vocalizing my interest in such an opportunity he got me connected with his mentor to connect with him to learn more.Fast forward to a few nights ago, Monday night to be specific, I was invited to a skype call for a meeting talking on the opportunity being presented and told for the first time what it was and a little bit on how it operated. This was my first time ever hearing about Amway and the business model being presented seemed incredibly lucrative, heck the guy presenting was an alum from my University and he looked like hed done VERY well for himself.After t he meeting my mentor went ahead and forwarded me details on Amway and World Wide Group so I delved deeper into it but something in particular while reading the material just rubbed me the wrong way and that was actual step by step model itself. In order to do the minimum earning points toward your business initiative for Step 1 they ask you to spend upward 300 on Amway products monthly, being the college student I am I budget myself at around 100 or less spent per month being an RA helps alleviate that cost greatly so the increase in spending isnt really saving me any money despite what they say. Whats worse was how they advertised growing your network such that you get family and friends involved in the program, having them buy daily, every day products via my store page whilst trying to cultivate them and encourage them to follow your lead.Id be hard pressed as is to reason out to anyone with a brain, hell even myself, the benefits of spending more on daily goods that I can get at other retailers for half the price with similar quality. So yea, would appreciate feed back from people with a little more experience on this nature of businessTL;DR relatively broke college kid, cool opportunity, seems a little disingenuous  <response>: Its multi level marketing. Its a money sink. Youre already broke. Stay away from it.read this --
