Believe it or not, I work with someone whose wife works for Primerica, they are totally into the whole scheme - it sounds like a pyramid deal to me, but she is making money (even to the point that she quit her day job years ago to do it full time) and they win trips all the time..... I haven't asked too many questions, as I didn't want to be pressured into it. Part of it seems to be refinancing your debt with the purpose of freeing up money that they then have you invest with them.
Actually, it is a pyramid deal...the "uplines" make a killing off of everyone under them. It also costs like $200 up front, AND you have to pay to take an insurance exam, which is $90...I know, because, as I said, I was a potential recruit...too much up front cost for me. I was supposed to be able to get a refund of my $200, but
that didn't happen...BIG surprise there. I think that's how the "uplines" make their money...and at $200 a pop, for God only knows how many recruits a day, it's prolly not a bad deal...for them. *sigh*
Yeah, I wouldn't ask many questions if I were you either...they are pretty convincing, and they brainwash you pretty good...

Plus, you are expected to go to meetings two or three times a week...on top of everything else you are doing...total pain in the butt!! However, I did get a free trip to KC and got to spend some time in a very high on the chain guy's house...and apparently,
he's making d@mn good money!!
I gave up on that, and now I do the Pampered Chef thing...I'm pretty good at it, and it actually brings in some money, unlike the Primerica thing. Plus, since I'm a pretty serious cook, it's nice to get some stuff for half price. However, I personally have absolutely no intention of bringing in recruits...I'm just in it for the stuff...LOL!! How else can I get top of the line kitchen gadgets on my budget??
