That's how you make money, prey on the gullible.

[Laurel Green]

It would seem there is a lot of money to be made from telling people how to make money.

[Laurel Green]

I am an expert money manager, I am an expert money manager, I am an expert money manager, I am an expert money manager.

That'll be £500 please!

Rubbing your ears and saying 'I'm an excellent money manager'

It must work if they say so........

Then looking down to see that one's CC account has doubled to £4000.

Judging by the Homebase/Future millionaire guy, obviously common sense isn't required for University entry (if we are to believe his comment about passing up on Uni)

Oh, and the real pisser for me was the older couples comment about DSS claimers being a good thing because they keep their rental income going

[Laurel Green]

Spent £50,000 on seminars on how to make money.

The young couple (homebase chap) really, honestly, make me want to cry

I feel so bad for them, surely someone close to them must be able to talk sense into them?

[GTIR]

But I saw an old R reg Corrolla with "Earn £600 a day, part time" on the back window.

I might ring it.

Yup! Sure have their priorities in the right order, don't they. But they must be better than you or I as they regularly go to church.

I wouldn't bother at the moment as, it is engaged.

Is this that one with Robert Kiyosaki or how ever you spell his fraudulent ass.

That guys a joker, plenty of reviews on the web from real financial advisors who say his advice is borderline dangerous and some times even illegal. He's basically rich because he sells some half baked idea about making money to people who can't think for themselves. He's not loaded because he's a smart investor he's loaded because dumb people keep handing him money for nothing.

[Sidewindow]

That old couple look half dead. Hate the way they call themselves expert property investors when they simply got lucky with the market. Would love to see them try it from scratch again now.

There's a difference between talking about making money, and making money. These people are deluded.

[Eric Mc]

Deluded is indeed the word.

But she's got a book on property now!

[carmonk]

Making money from the deluded is big business. I'm thinking of doing it myself. Making money from the greedy and deluded is even better because you don't feel any guilt. At least, I wouldn't. I love the MLM-based concept of those courses - someone makes money telling other people how to be rich. It's a great idea. And you don't get people coming back saying it doesn't work, because they know what the answer will be - "That's your fault, you didn't try hard enough," or "You didn't rub your earlobe long enough."

[ritmo]

the 'homebase' couple are clearly deluded and the woman with the teeth and the post-it notes was just 'simple'. I would like to know what % of the income of the 'wealthy' is derived from seminars as opposed to investments; the 'old couple' admitted they made significantly more from seminars. However there is a kernel of truth in what these people are saying - if you're smart (not necessarily highly educated), work for youself, get up early, work very hard, don't let failure deter you and take some financial risks you stand a greater chance of getting 'rich' than through more traditional career paths.
