My portfolio is quite diverse. I have significant amounts in all major casino class investments: roulette, craps, poker, slots, etc. I do leave a little for play and put 5% of my portfolio in lotteries.

The average time it takes a customer to pay off a single purchase is six years. And these are cards with an APR of 29.99% typically. No source cited but I wouldn't doubt it at all.

 Most #BossBabes don't even keep track of expenses/earnings, let alone realize they've been had, so good on her. LuLaRoe is notorious for putting out lots of "limited edition" prints and encouraging members to buy as much as possible so they can meet the expected demand. Which turns out to be nonexistent because again, nobody is buying their ugly rear end poo poo*. They also have the highest onboarding cost of any MLM, $5,500. *proof of ugly rear end shitness:  bonus:

We're talking about sitting back and collecting checks, not 20 hours a week of minimum wage or bartending. Side hustles are great because you can still keep your existing job which probably would pay more than your fun side hustle, or the side hustle itself is something relatively passive like dropship, value investing, or bitcoin speculation

It sounds like Lululemon, which is thought of as relatively high class AFAIK, so maybe that helps

There's a neat podcast called Side Hustle School where the guy goes over a bunch of reader submitted (and verified) side hustle ideas that they did to make money. Some of the hustles have had goon threads in the past, like SEO/blogs for bucks, dropshipping, writing ebooks, and online voiceover work. The point is that it's fun enough or profitable enough to be worth it as a second income stream. There were some really neat ones in there, like a construction worker who is also an aquarium enthusiast. He put up a blog over a weekend reviewing a bunch of fishtanks from Amazon giving suggestions for aspiring fish hobbyists, and it pulls in $3k/month in amazon affiliate link traffic. Pretty neat stuff.

This whole page has been glorious, so let's keep the pain train rolling with the $1 billion lawsuit threatening the existence of LuLaRoe even as other MLM scams like Rodan and Fields try to capture the same lightning in the bottle that the California-based company has used to grow. http://fortune.com/2017/11/01/lularoe-lawsuit/

Apparently doing very specific online reviews can be crazy profitable. Listened to something on NPR maybe a month ago about mattress review websites. They were getting like a couple hundred dollars for each mattress sale from the affiliate links. It ended up being a job that paid these few guys like $100-$200k a year, just for reviewing various mattresses. Edit: Actual BWM, I was visiting Anchorage and went to a weekend market. Lots of vendors, local crafts, food vendors, etc. The BWM part was seeing two different LuLaRoe vendors set up like four tents away from each other.

Those side-hustle gigs are essentially just advertising and the moment you are less than 100% glowing about certain products Casper they strangle you in your deeply discounted bed and find someone else.

Speaking of mattresses can we have a quick mattress derail because I need a new one. Obviously anything more luxurious than a burlap sack of moldy straw is bwm, but I was looking at a Tuft and Needle via Amazon and that seems fine and reasonably priced, I really don't know. Just gonna sleep on the couch like Mulder.

At least for the mattress guy, he had already earned over a million dollars so that's a pretty happy ending even if the gravy train derailed.

When was the last time anyone who makes their money 'online' showed any forward thinking or risk aversion? That guy probably spent everything he made. That 6 year old kid who earned 11 million in one year? Probably has a portfolio full of Ethereum and doesn't even know what estimated tax payments are.

Threw a $30 memory foam topper on it for extra cloud effect and have had no problems. Also there was some hilarious mattress review drama recently. One site started publishing all these articles about Purple's latex coming covered in a white powder and how nobody could really be sure it wasn't carcinogenic, and then it turned out the guy was working for a rival company and poo poo. Blew. Up. I think the lawsuit's still ongoing.

I have a Sleep Number which the stupidest mattress ever and the sheets cost a fortune, but my wife likes that craftmatic adjustable action. Don't get a Sleep Number. I feel like I should have gotten an automotive title by the time I paid it off.
