What Wealthy People Don't Do

In a strange turn of events, I found myself thinking I was headed to a job interview.  The ad called for a creative business professional and I'm just about the most creative professional I know, the business part shouldn't be too difficult to wing.  

However, the creative business professional they were searching for was a little too business-y and not very professional.  I will give them creative.   

The marketing position I thought I was interviewing for turned out to be a plug for Nouveau Riche, a real estate investment college and nationally known pyramid scheme.  

Dawn, the lady who greeted me, was not in on the joke that there even was a marketing position to be filled.  I know this because she looked at me pretty blankly and quickly started yapping about this school in Arizona that teaches you how to make the big bucks.  

One thing led to another and I was in a conference room with several pathetic looking individuals who seemed just as confused about their whereabouts as I was. 

The man giving the PowerPoint presentation asked a question: What's really in your future? Some of his possible answers were job stress, divorce, and nursing home, mostly due to rampant inflation.  

If I, too, purchased the Residential Real Estate Encyclopedia education package, then referred others, I could retire at 65 with millions-or more-in the bank. If only I could capitalize on the foreclosures and desperate families trying to live out the American Dream. 

At this point I'd realized that I needed to get out.  I silently motioned that I needed to leave, and quickly left.
