Amway Diamonds Pay Cash For Everything?

When I was an IBO, I was always taught that diamonds pay cash for everything. That one day, after following the foolproof WWDB system, that I too, would be strolling on the beaches of the world, with cash rolling into my bank account with no worries in the world. We were told that diamonds pay cash for all purchases, even homes and other large ticket items. As evidence, the diamonds would show slideshows of mansions and sports cars, golf club memberships and other lavish items. All paid for in cash we were told. I have reason to believe that WWDB still teaches this and it seems it is all true.

First of all, in looking back, the group gradually got to know what was paid for and what was not. We could see that a diamond made so much money that everything the diamonds spoke of was true. However, there may have been some events, some very recent that suggested something other than what was told by these diamonds. There were two (2) diamonds whose home foreclosures became public knowledge and a prominent triple diamond who was involved in bankruptcy proceedings. Now your home cannot be foreclosed if it's paid for in cash right? Technically, nobody would care whether a diamond's home was mortgaged or paid for, but when some diamonds parade in front of a crowd bragging about wealth, and then telling the audience that they too will achieve the same success by following the system and upline advice, well that's a bit misleading in my opinion. Some people in the audience are practically crying because they want what the diamonds are flaunting, except that possibly, some of these diamonds don't even have what they are selling. 

An average diamond might make about $150,000 (according to Amway) and let's just say another $150,000 from business related functions. When you factor in taxes and business expenses such as travel to and from functions, what's left over certainly is more than enough to allow you to purchase million dollar mansions. Some higher up pins make even more, but still, purchasing mansions and other luxuries for some in cash is a stretch. It would be my guess that some diamonds indeed have a mortgage on their homes and may even have car payments. That's not a crime but it is unethical to lie about your income in order to recruit new downlines. 

For IBOs and other newbies, if your uplines are bragging about paying for homes and other things in cash, ask them to show proof of these claims. I can show you pictures of multi-million dollar mansions and sports cars, it doesn't mean that I paid for them in cash. But then again, admitting to having a mortgage or having monthly car payments aren’t quite as attractive or exciting as paying for these things in cash.
