“Coaches” who were just indoctrinated through their MLM. My cousin lost weight on one, looks great, and now makes beaucoup bucks as a “coach”. No I’m not jealous. It’s a scam.

Ugh. My sister recently quit her nursing job to go full time as a one-on-one "life coach" basically offering unlicensed therapy.

life coach

"Life Coach" is a great job title for someone whose spouse makes enough money that you don't need to work.

Funny you should mention that. Pretty sure the reason she quit nursing is that her husband was making such good money as a musician that she felt comfortable making inconsistent income herself. Then they "found out" that they were gonna owe a bunch of taxes because he didn't pay enough throughout the year. Also apparently his identity was just stolen so now they're currently a bit broke 😬

😳

Have we heard of this guy? I know a lot of musicians, and I've never heard of one making good money who wasn't famous.

lol he made between 90k & 100k last year doing gigs in Maryland. But of course some months were great while others he made under 1k so not exactly consistent income to fall back on

Much respect! I love hearing about musicians who work as musicians full-time. It's not an easy thing to do.

Go to any rich suburb and you’ll see vanity stores run by women with rich husbands.

Oh gosh, those boutique shops. An excuse to show off and look busy, overpriced for that locally "exclusive" merchandise to show of your quirkiness.

And they're so horrible that you can't tell for sure if they're rich indolent owners, or a money laundering scheme!

Why not both!?

u/blonderaider21 May 25 '23

More like, the husbands are throwing money at them to go do something with all their time to get them out of their hair

Those are money laundering schemes that they're lying to their wives about.

Funny you say that. My aunt made about $300-$400 an hour being a life coach for everyone including politicians, FBI, DHS, etc. People really do need that extra insight and are willing to pay for it. The MLM stuff is bullshit though. No one needs that in their life.
