This morning I rushed to the bank to deposit a few nice
checks. Any how, I hand my deposit slip, and it was somewhat sizable when the
friendly teller looks at me with a big smile and says...
... "We here would like to help you save more money
and put more back in your pocket, when would be a good time for you to sit down
with one of our specialists... today or tomorrow?"
Well, I must say they are getting better.
Hitting on the hot button of most people about
saving money and putting some cash in our pocket... and finishing off with a
closing question the answer to which still gets an appointment for them... I'd
say that's pretty impressive for a bank.
A heck of a lot better than the line they used
before, "Would you like an IRA (individual retirement account)?"
But you see because of my extensive study in financial
services, I know that banks are ALWAYS up
to no good.
The
whole banking industry is an outright scam,
but that's too deep of a topic for me to get into here, however I was curious
as to what genius plan the "banksters" came up with this time to help
us "save money".
So I asked a few probing questions and sure
enough what it came down to is either a insurance plan or a CREDIT CARD (which
best suits to them) with some "cash back" bonus on all your spending.
How generous of them.?????
The more we spend, the more they'll give us back.
Sounds pretty darn innocent and even sincere,
especially coming from a really nice lady (which herself is being exploited by
her so called seniors) with a big smile.
Problem
is...
"they" know that once you got this
magic "money pumping" card (money pumping for them) in your hands,
MOST people will start spending more than they can afford and that's when they
GET YOU.
The 1% or whatever cash back is nothing compared
with the 27.99% in interest they plan on charging you later.
And once
you're in, you are IN. if we cancel,
our order even then for one or other reason that will not materialized and we
have to pay monthly or yearly charges. Not pay but they will deduct
automatically from our account.
That's the plan, get us in debt and KEEP us in
debt.
While they smile all the way to the bank :).
Why am I talking all this?
Because right now the global economy is on a
verge of a big disaster.
Actually multiple disasters. The economy is NOT getting much better. The unemployment rate is STILL high. Inflation in spite of the "official"
government reports is climbing.
And so on...
Point
is.. NO ONE is really helping the public.
Not the government and definitely not the banks.
All are
exploiting worker by taxes or many other means and feeding lazy, non workers ..
In my opinion
the ONLY way for the average person to get ahead is with the "right"
kind of education and a good opportunity.
Which is why what we do matters.
Not just to OUR financial situation, but to the lives
of the many people who we'll touch along the way.
It's no secret that most people who come into
our business will not do much.
But we know what... if they get even a small
amount of this "right" kind of education, about thinking the right
way, planning for the future, having a vision... if they catch the
entrepreneurial bug and move on to start their own business outside of the MLM
company that introduced them to it...
... does that not matter?
Did they
NOT benefit greatly?
Of course they did.
Which is why we should feel good about what we
do.
There are going to be people along the way who
will criticize us and try to put down what we're doing.
Don't let them get to us.
A few years with a decent Network Marketing
company will do anyone a heck of a lot more than a 4 year degree which will
only set you back Rs 25000/- PM or more and not teach us a thing about what it
REALLY takes to make money.
