    Do (or Did!) you feel pressured to buy a home?

    Yeah see we were almost the opposite. we were renting, but the house we were in had been on the market and landlord had every intention of selling it at some point. Although I don't doubt we could have stayed there another good while, the thought of him turning round one day and saying he was...

    Do (or Did!) you feel pressured to buy a home?

    I think different things mean different to different people if you know what I mean? I couldn't wait for the perfect place is the honest answer, I had got it in my head that I wasn't willing to pay out anymore money in rent when I could buy something and spend less monthly - once I had convinced...

    Do (or Did!) you feel pressured to buy a home?

    We couldn't and probably wouldn't ever be able to raise the deposit for a house is the short answer. We were stuck in that horrible position of being able to get a mortgage but had very little savings and very little chance of building that up. Prior to viewing the flat we had never even been...

    Do (or Did!) you feel pressured to buy a home?

    I was very pressured into buying. My dad has moaned at me for years to buy something, even though he himself never owned a house till he married a woman that did. I was never interested, was happy to rent knowing that although I could have gotten a mortgage (back in the days of 100% ones) I...

    Has everyone on here given up on MLM then?

    Its the buying a card thing that concerns me about this tbh - if everyone buys just one card where does the money come from?? I hate to say it but it doesn't sound like a sustainable business model to me, it kind of sounds like the only money going into this would be the money that the reps...

    Has everyone on here given up on MLM then?

    it does sound like MLM, although I don't really get the part about buying a card every month - I would run a mile from any company that made me purchase something to stay active. You should definitely do some reading on exactly what MLM is and what to expect, its not how most people think it is...

    Has everyone on here given up on MLM then?

    I think there are a lot of reasons - some of them are rubbish, whether its the products or the people there are some really rubbish companies out there. some people I think like the idea of MLM but don't realise how much work it is to actually make money, when they don't make money they assume...

    Has everyone on here given up on MLM then?

    I still do MLM, but I don't actively recruit which I know no one on here will believe so I don't even know why I'm bothering to reply actually. I do however work with a company that is quite different in the sense that they actively discourage people from signing up 'cold market' prospects and...

    Younique or Online Retailing

    It can be very easy to alienate people if all you ever do is harass them about your products or opportunity yes, but if you do it right you wont alienate anyone. I now do two different MLMs, I have promoted each on my personal page maybe two or three times when my business pages were new just to...

    Jury Service

    Sometimes you can get excused for work related reasons. My partner got called twice, the first time he had to attend but then they go to jury selection and he was asked if he had any commitments and he said he really couldn't be off work and they told him he could leave but would be called again...

    The price of TV / Phone / Broadband is just becoming a joke!

    the irony of the situation for me was that when I was a student nurse I went between university right in the middle of the city centre and my placement. After I graduated I no longer went to the city centre several times a week and got a job next door to my old placement so how the heck did my...

    What Aims do you have for money you earn online?

    My forever living business money just goes into the general earnings pot but my other online income goes to different things. I'm not very consistent with it since giving up freelance writing, I need to get better at this because I've just inherited 2k and would like to add to that for a deposit...

    The price of TV / Phone / Broadband is just becoming a joke!

    Oh don't get me started on car insurance!!! During my last year at uni I took out a policy aimed specifically at university students/young professionals (as they put it) told them I would be graduating within the term of the policy which they said was fine. I also bought a new car just about the...
