Humor me and explain what MLM is in layman term? My Little Monkey? More Laughing Moments?
Hard to give advice when the key concept is put into initials.
Maybe. I'm more of a live and let live type of gal. Who are you to tell Granny what she can and cannot wear?? If Granny is happy what's it to anyone else except maybe Mr. Granny Lol (yes I'm actually laughing).
Then why are you asking others if you should be a "negative Nelly" and try to talk your friend out of participating in the MLM program?
And why is one of the responses in your poll to "Speak Up! Wouldn't you want someone to save you from you?"?
Wouldn't that be flying in the face of your position above about Granny?
No, what's sad is that that wasn't the "grandma" comparison.
And we're not talking about anyone's financial ruin, "lol."
Care to try again?
The friend is talking about quitting her job to join a MLM that no one will want to buy and will cost her money to be a part of. How isn't that financial ruin?

actually we are, my girlfriend wants to quit her good paying job with benefits with Comcast to sell this full time.
Now I admit, I am really conservative, I like knowing where my paycheck is coming from every week, I know many young folk will gamble and a lot of folks say you have to go all in to get your dream.
But considering from what I've read (thanks again for all those who gave useful information) 98% of folks fail at these things.
yeah, that's my definition of financial ruin or at the very least a financial disaster.

I’ve never run into this particular situation with friends. The similar thing I have run into was a friend who picked a very nasty man to marry. I didn’t realize how awful he was at the beginning, but I watched her cut out friend after friend who DID try to warn her. I kept my mouth shut and helped her pick up the pieces time after time.
And after he alienated practically all her friends he tried to kill her.
And I stood by her then, but when she said “Why didn’t anyone tell me?” I told her that she cut out all the people who did warn her, but that’s part of what an abuser does...and to not feel guilty about it.
When she said why didn’t YOU tell me? I told her someone had to be left to help when this blew up in her face.
After a few years in therapy, she got it... and a lot of her friends came back to her.
Your choice is to clam up, or maybe approach it this way. Tell her you are only going to tell her this just once, and never bring it up again.
Give her a list of links on how bad MLM marketing is. Don’t tell her she’ll fail at this because everyone pretty much does, tell her this is a very very difficult path to take. Try to spin your negativity at this venture in a positive way.
And for the love of Mike do not buy anything.... it will never end.

Your friend should never quit her job until she becomes successful (which is slim at best). MLM is supposed to be a side gig, it's never meant to be a full-time job. Very few people ever become successful in MLM.
Even though I'm not anti-MLM, I do not believe most people have the sales skills and the marketing skills to be successful in MLM. This is coming from a guy who spent over a decade in sales and has been learning the ins and out of sales for over 10+ yrs. To be successful in sales, you must be able to sell to strangers day in and day out. Years after years. Not bug your friends and family to death.

She would be very stupid to quit Comcast. My son works for them for a few years now. He's very happy there. Benefits are good. They may not rehire hernif this fails. Tell her that too
If I was your friend, I'd appreciate seeing what you had on this company. I also think you should be honest and say they don't sell anything you'd buy
