[@kaylasmith2922]

Fellow fire wife here🙋🏼‍♀️ The more overtime he works, the more y’all bring in and the more money you SAVE! Most do 24 hour shirts normally, meaning that’s 3 ish days a week they work…3 meals a day. That’s 9 meals a week you save money on. She mentioned showers? They do that at the station. Use electricity? At the station. All stuff you save money on to put back…or I guess toward the house that you can’t afford. 🥲 Not to mention a bed to yourself, take out, and some peace every 3rd night? Yes please😂

[@AllLifeIsTravesty]

As someone who has lived below the poverty line her entire life, if she's telling the truth that second girl has no one to blame but herself. So you choose a home you can't afford and now you're paying the consequences when there are people who can barely afford to feed their kids? _Oh poor you._

[@retrogirl2498]

Soooo she paid off her $20,000 consumer credit card debt but isn’t done paying off her house and yet they are doing an expensive remodel🤨 don’t praise Monat for your poor financial decision

[@destructokat]

I understand being poor - I grew up with my mom rotating which bill she could be late on because she was a single part with a part time hob - but I can't help but to be annoyed finding out that these people were living above their means. I don't know if it's financial illiteracy or whatever, but it's hard for me to feel sorry for people who can't afford to live in a gated community. Like, was I supposed to be sorry for that girl? Sorry you couldn't go to Big Bear on a night you know is more expensive?

[@franniepan]

I'm so confused listening to this girl. She's stating she was making several thousands a month but was barely getting by. How about moving to a more affordable area? Looking at your expenses? Cut luxury items out of your budget? It's not that hard. Ridiculous!

[@theeclecticmemah]

The young girl was driving me CRAZY! If you have a home you can't afford and you go on vacation WITHOUT knowning how much it will cost - then how can you afford EXPENSIVE shampoo! Plus I noticed she didn't say how much of that half a million dollars did she owe in taxes!! Bet AFTER paying taxes on that 1099 she WASN"T making more than hubby!

[@saralc9]

[@kateemma22]

As someone who has worked in marketing for a decade, and who works with the franchising team for a popular Australian restaurant chain, what these people do is NEITHER of these things. They are not in marketing, they are not franchise owners, the closest they are is sales representatives. The different is sales reps GET PAID to promote whereas these poor suckers PAY to promote. They're like backwards sales reps. A part of me dies every time they call themselves marketing geniuses or franchise/business owners.

[@shanncimakasky6836]

That’s what Monat had to do .. get sales license, register with the state & labor industry. OMG ITS NOT YOUR BUSINESS. You didn’t come up formulas , names & products. YOU ARE A 1099 CONTRACT PERSON.

[@SavMarie]

The second girl omg. In one of Jessica Hickson's recent videos she reacted to a video where she was also making untrue income claims and she was out of breath just like this chick is. HMMMM IT'S ALMOST LIKE you can't breathe because you know what you're doing is unethical, manipulative, and all around WRONG?!?! HMMM

[@agentkurt]

Wait. Stop. Did the second girl say they “only” had $20,000 in credit card debt and it “wasn’t that bad”?!?!? What in the literal hell??? If it were student loan debt I wouldn’t bat an eye but credit cards?? Is this normal in America am I just not up to speed?

[@pnwgirl4]

Not normal but all too common. So many people completely lack financial literacy in this country.

[@dogsbelife]

I think I have $75 on my credit card lol. Waiting for the bill to close out in two days so I can pay it off. So not normal here.

[@raychul33]

I don’t understand why they always feel the need to share their “story” all the time. Imagine if we told all our customers our story everytime they come in to a shop or restaurant etc Pretty sure like us, they wouldn’t give a flying F 😂😂

This second girl is obnoxious, and I know this is harsh, but I’m having a hard time feeling sorry for someone who is admittedly living beyond their means - on that note - how in the fresh hell did she afford to buy Monat when they couldn’t afford their house….. But yeah, let’s take financial/business advice from this girl……

That guy doesn't even know how a franchise runs it has a WAY better return. The one I know the most about is Chick-fil-A and they are honestly great and I heard they make over $150,000 a year. Also Chick-fil-A is very helpful with building the business and getting it started.... So definitely way less of a risk that starting a MLM

[@jennifer012670]

They all just say the same things- time freedom, step outside your comfort zone, everybody is recommend things we don't get compensated for, everybody washes their hair, work from your phone, ...ugh

[@raychul33]

Robots with different accents lmao

[@shinyumbreon696]

It really hit when it was the male rep was talking, for some reason. "We get compensated for recommending things like everyone does." "It's shampoo, everyone washes their hair." "It's just like any other small business with the initial investment." We've heard these points over and over and over from Monat reps, in that order, to the point where I think it's a bulleted list in their back office. "How to shut down haters in five easy steps!"

[@taliafantin354]

So much wrong with so much of this! But what another KZbinr had once said, why doesn't personal development require you to build on your skills? Why is it always reading books like, "You are a Badass" or "Girl, Stop Apologizing" . For example, Beachbody "Coach's" aren't encourage to read books on nutrition or research proper form of different workouts, or different muscle groups. Just another way for them to keep you roped in! Also, why do you need an MLM to do personal development? I'm personally always doing "personal development" (saying that makes me cringe now). I bought a book to educate myself on the oppression and exploitation of indigenous people. A friend of mine tried learning a new language after she graduated university. Personal Development is NOT listening to motivational podcasts or reading self help books!

[@taliafantin354]

Disclaimer: I've not been in Beachbody so I don't know what they tell you to do or not to do. However, the "personal development" they are typically advertising is all about self help and motivation. Maybe they teach you about muscle groups, nutrition and proper form, however, ive seen a few Beachbody coach's on IG posting their workouts with improper form.

[@k74728]

So she spent several hundreds of dollars on vacation and shampoo, but can’t keep care of her gated community home?? I’ve been poor my whole life, so maybe I just don’t get it. But for me, my shelter and safety is number one always.

She also just sounds like she doesn’t want to work at all. Okay end rant, back to the video 😂

[@monicaniblett9651]

@Life, Love and Mental Illness a vlog channel 100% agree - I was mostly addressing Isabella's confusion on how two incomes could still have trouble making rent. which is easy in CA. but if you can't pay your bills you should probably not be buying $80 shampoo lol

[@snooganslestat2030]

Yes the reason you DON'T have to do any of the real work that goes into owning your own business is because you DON'T own a business. 🙄 Oh and most people in MLMs dont break even or make a profit in the 1yr or EVER!

What that person at about 15:00 was saying about feeling like a number at work- There are companies out there that will treat you with respect, and there are lots of jobs where you can feel appreciated.

[@cairibour]

Okay I have to rant about the second lady. My husband and I also live in Southern California. It’s a big place so obviously we could be in very different areas (we live in a beach town near Malibu). The first six years of our marriage I worked part time as a preschool teacher, he works for a naval base here (and doesn’t make as much as she said her husband does). The last three years we lived in a 2bd apartment (1200 sq ft which is pretty big for this area) right on the water of the harbor. Even working part time, we had extra money at the end of the month. HOWEVER, we also both bought our cars used and paid them off in a year so we wouldn’t have car payments. We only used our credit cards so we would get cash back (like you mentioned Isabella) and paid it off at the end of the month. I wasn’t spending over $150 a month on crappy shampoo. We didn’t go on boogie ass vacations all the time. And side note, you can get a four day stay at a whole cabin in Big Bear over New Year’s Eve for about $1500-$2000, so idk where the hell she was paying $500 for one freaking night for a hotel room. Also you have $20000 in credit card debt and you’re still doing trips and love to travel?!?! That’s why you’re probably in so much debt!! How can you enjoy your trip when you’re worried if your cards are even going to work???? We had enough extra money to save over $1000 a month so we could save up for a down payment of our home we just bought a few months ago. We still have enjoyed our lives and done lots of fun stuff, just within the means we have. You can live in Southern California and budget well and live well below your means without having to work for some MLM. Long rant, but she is absolutely infuriating.

Also I said boogie instead of bougie but idk how to edit comments 😂

I’m not saying the rest of her trauma isn’t true, but I don’t think it’s a coincidence she mentioned it all in her pitch. And the cracking crying voice, I feel slimy after just watching it.

[@pnwgirl4]

Damn the second girl has some serious spending issues. Even now that she has more money she continues to buy more and more expensive things and probably not saving much. I am an esthetician and my fiancé is a server and we are doing fine because we live within our means. We chose an apartment that was less than what we could feasibly afford so that we can save more. Don't get me wrong I've made some unwise financial decisions in the past but what she's describing is pretty extreme. Even at my most poor I was still always able to pay my rent, water bill etc. You plan for it.

[@smolexfundie6458]
