I feel like an idiot.... but... what is an MLM?

[–]somethingspiffy 3 points4 points ago

multi level marketing. typically a scam.

Thank you. I'm wondering how they know God told them to invest in that.... if they're hearing voices, they should see a doctor.

True. However, my inlaws have invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in various MLM's looking for Get rich quick schemes rather than working for it like most people.

I love a good schadenfreude. Kinda sucks what happened though.

As long as they don't have to move in with you.

We dodged the bullet by moving out of state, and now my in-laws are living with their parents. Otherwise, yes it would have been us.

You can actually get out of the mortgage in this case. In this instance, your in-laws are clearly hearing voices, which is a sign of psychological illness. No person can make a contract with a mentally unfit party, that includes mortgages.

sad thing is, some of these MLMs like Amway use religion to keep control over you.
