How do I fly for a living when I can't afford it?

TOGA: Where do you make your money from on this deal? I assume you probably get a cut for each software package you sell?

 

[TOGA]

Correct . . . and the size of the cut depends upon one's cumulative total number of sales.

It seems to me that if someone had the kind of money you would need to have to spend that much money on a software package that someone else would be handling their finances anyway and should have already exhausted every advantage. We're talking people with mega bucks here right? I'm just a poor boy though, what do I know?

Sleazy? YES.... Illegal? NO
If you google this company and see what it offers, you will quickly realize how easy it is to do this yourself and not pay this company $3000.
.

Here is a sample quote from a financial website:

"There are many companies that are charging consumers upwards of $3,000 to start using a money-merge account. Considering that you can accomplish the exact same thing by paying off extra principal on your mortgage each month for literally nothing, $3,000 is tantamount to highway robbery."

here's another sound byte response from the Dave Ramsey financial radio show regarding this mortgage plan (turn the speakers up)

First of all the guys trying to make a living. Why would anyone want to get involved in the mortgage scam business nowadays. Look what they did to the housing market (them and stupid greedy buyers). If there is any profession lower on the scum scale I cant think of anyone . As a business owner in Arizona the only people who have ever stiffed me were mortgage companies and the occasional realtor.

Does the market suck right now? Yes. Were there lots of loans given out that shouldn't have been? Yes. Should the government bail out the homeowners and banks? NO!

It is the governments fault (or the fault of the rest of the American People) that some people didn't read the dotted line, and some banks didn't do credit and income checks. The market will correct itself, and create a very good market for people actually in the position to buy a home.

This has really turned into a nice thread hijack, let's get back to the original topic.

Rumpletumbler -

The only things required to make the system work are some equity in your house, and spending less than you're making.

to find my dog in her crate standing on 3 legs with like 2 inches of diarrhea over the entire bottom of the crate (it's a big one) with some tonnage deposited

Thanks for the visual images. With a talent like that, why don't you write for Family Guy?

Spending less than you make is the key.

To the "Agents"; In all of my Google searches, forums, non profit financial advisers etc. there is a general consensus that the software is not worth anywhere near $3000 or $3500 when one considers that with just a little effort to educate oneself with a little discipline can be just as efficient at paying down your mortgage. The only disagreements are from people selling the software. There are even some advisers that say that mortgage debt is a good thing.

Pay the 3500$ towards your principal and forget the software. Otherwise, I'll give you a hundred bucks, no more. PM me if you're interested.

P.S. The ironic thing is that many folks would probably pay for your software with a credit card and carry the debt for a while

That's so true it's not even funny.
