In real life, you may not see a scenario exactly like this, but you will see a lot of other "get rich quick" schemes that will end up costing you more than you think!

For example, a friend may come up to you and tell you about this awesome product that basically sells itself. All you have to do is pay a monthly subscription for the inventory, then sell it to someone else for a profit.

But even better yet, if you can get someone else to sign up for the program, then you'll get a small piece of their profits too!

I just described an MLM, and it loses money for basically everyone unless you're at the very top of the pyramid.

If you want to make true wealth, you need to work hard, invest wisely, and not look for shortcuts.

If it's too good to be true, then it usually is.
