    Being in sales I view all pie charts and such as sales tools, makes sense that they would use a chart to paint the picture they want you to see. I've never seen a sales presentation where a chart is created to make things look bad, it's always to look good lmao

    No insults necessary, although your earlier post about "cute" pie charts seemed an insulting inference towards me.

    As stated before, the chart I presented was from an unbiased source (not near my computer now), and it wasn't the US Govt or Fox News lol.

    I posted a pie chart because they are easy to read...not trying to inject any agenda, honestly.

    Might be true, lots of sales folks are very selfish by nature. I try and be a good person all the time, but i'm human and make mistakes like everybody else.

    There's a lot of bad business ideas floating around for sure. I've only been involved in one in my life, it was a great experience but cost me a lot of money in the end. Just wasn't my cup of tea and I didn't have the right sphere of influence to make it successful in a reasonable amount of time. But yeah, your friendship gets weird when money is involved, changes everything.

    There was a huge Pyramid scheme in Honolulu back in the 90s. I went to this meeting at a Hotel and it was packed....When the sh8t hit the fan and they "organization" bailed the island there were so many folks hating life! I would get random people coming in (restaurant) and talking about it. Some F'd up stuff!!!

    Honestly, most organizations are technically a pyramid. Generally speaking those at the top make the most money, and those at entry level make the least, then there is the middle tier folks making somewhere in the middle, and there is typically less people at the top and a few more at mid level, and the most at the entry level. Just how it is, right or wrong. Most companies we work for are like this, look at the government, or churches, or even the school system. There is always the exception to the rule of course.

    Talk about getting dragged through the mud and how efd up the tax system is.
    I don't even know where to start. My home was over 50% damaged thanks to HSandy. Received next to nothing for our loses from the insurance company. Needed to now, raise our home to 10ft, replace appliances and belongings and basically rebuild the last 12 years of renovations and our lives and literally blood sweat and tears. We hated to part with our home but had to walk away because we just could not afford to rebuild.
    2014: still waiting for some resolve from the bank. They dragged their ass's in giving us an answer about our bail-out. So- let's leave the state and try to get some kind of life back. Fed up by now. Sick of the system and the paper pushers.
    2015,Fall: Finally, got the answer we where waiting for from the bank. The house was going up for short-sale, taking our insurance check( which had to be 're-issued 3 times in 3 years) as part of debt payment. We where finally getting answers. The house sold in the short sale within that year. Last year. Meanwhile our mortgage company had sold us out to another mortgage company.The final kick in the nuts happend last week when we filed our taxes. Both mortgage company's had filed 1099c's against us. Our original mortgage company admitted a mistake but the company it was sold to holds firm in their filing. All meaning, that the sale of the house was taxable income. Fine... if we had stayed in Nj during the sale of our house we would have been free and clear and absolved of any tax payment. Since we had moved to Ma in the interim we now owe big-time tax.
    Don't know if any of this makes sense but I'm still trying to figure it all out meself, and all I want to do is surf and survive.
    Sorry for the long winded story.

    ^^^ wtf?!??? How does moving to MA change the fact that you had to abandon your home in wake of natural disaster? I'd say lawyer up mang, there has to be something you can do
