>Wayne
sorry to have disturbed you wayne  but  you appeared to be solicting
as you put your name, financial company and phone number. It  looked
liike an AD!

Wayne please tell them you are not an accountant nor a financial
planner. You are a MUTUAL FUND SALESMAN

I like the part about borrowing to buy mutual funds   its called net
worth wayne. You are gambling with the future  I hope you advise your
clients that you can LOOSE money. Personally I advise people to not to
gamble.  Tell me wayne can you predict the price of pork bellies next
year as well?



 you quoted 6 grand a month
 as your wife ages  her cashflow gets smaller.
as I age mine gets bigger and I can pass it on to my kids .

you see I do not want my wife to die a  poor old lady.

lets see   .... money doubles every 10 years
6000 is worth  3000 in 2006
1500in 2016
750  in 2226

I dont think she will have enough for the old folks home.

figure this wayne    if you budget $4 per meal 3 times a day that is
12 A day just to eat. 
when your wife is 65-70 it will cost her 48 dollars just to eat!

I can remember when camaros were 7 grand I bet your wage does not
double in ten years.

When was the last time the government gave you sound advice  about
money matters. Why would I want OR expect  the government to be
involved with my investments. It seems like when it comes to
government and money the GOVERNMENT wins>

No amway is not for every one but the only 5% of the population makes
over 70000 a year 

but boy we sold more dodges in canada than the top 40 dodge dealers

business is goiing broke and  we do 8 billion dollars and is expected
to double. More than 500 fortune 500 companies are in with amway,.

The financial post says home based business grew by 25% last year(
aug)
Gee amway grew 25% in canada last year . Ask yourself wayne ...Is
their a connection?

Just take a look at your sopping mall>

Askyour accountant this...Is it wise to avoid the stores and buy the
same item through my own business.

you probobly spend 20000 a year in someone else business.

You have a business that does 20000 a year. I bet you get more back on
taxes than you make on mutual funds.  NO
RISK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can you tell me why bill gates and don trump were quoted 

if they lost their fortunes they would do amway!!!

Like I said I take financial advice from people who make more than me.

Sorry wayne if I listen to your advice I would only make 6000 a month

you cannot show people how to do somthing you havent done.
