The phrase "you haven't earned the privilege yet" was something we heard a lot from our Amway upline, usually in a mocking "I'm better than the rest of you" manner.
There could be a variety of reasons for this.
At one point, the Platinum was attempting to assemble a work team to perform yard work at the Emerald's residence. In exchange for the honour of spending time with the Emerald, IBOs provide free work to the Emerald. Yes, that's correct. That's fantastic. Where can I join up to yank the weeds out of that bastard's garden? Fortunately, the Platinum scoffed at me and the other people in the room, including Ambot, and told us that we hadn't earned the right to spend time with that guy yet, which was a relief. Whew! I'm in luck!
The Platinum's wife was a sporadic attendee at meetings. Personally, I believe she was simply fed up with listening to her spouse repeat the same old nonsense over and over again. He explained that, as a result of achieving Platinum level, she had earned the right to stay at home with the children rather than hiring a babysitter. Hunh? In their early twenties, their son and daughter were living with them. They required the services of a babysitter? What the f*ck is going on? When I was eleven years old, I began babysitting for others. What if the children of ambots are so badly behaved that they require a sitter well into their adolescence? Perhaps all of the mothers in attendance at the Amway meeting who hadn't earned that privilege should have made a pit stop at the Platinum's house on the way to the conference and dropped their children off with her for some free babysitting. We earned that privilege because we had to put up with her spouse for the evening while she received a complimentary ticket! She's in for a treat!
This taunt was mostly directed at cult members who hadn't progressed far enough in Amway, or even far enough in Amway at all, as was the case with the majority of ambots present in our meetings at that time of year. When it came to meeting someone higher upline, such as a Diamond, the privilege taunt was most frequently used. In a more accurate statement, they had not earned the privilege of donating free labour to the Diamond since they had not achieved a certain level of success in Amway. Whew! I managed to fly under the radar on that one, as I wasn't on call to prepare those bastards-free delicious dinners for the guests! Actually, it might have been a lot of fun to contaminate their food with something noxious.
Many times, the phrase "you haven't earned the privilege yet" could have meant something very different. Owning something of great value that your upline does not own is an example of this. The fact that someone in your upline drives a junk car or rents rather than owning a home does not imply that you must revert to your previous state of affairs and give up the possessions that you have fought so hard to acquire. I believe it has more to do with Amway ambot jealously that they don't have what you have, which is why upline flaunts the "you haven't earned the privilege" taunt in front of the entire organisation.
Since the last time I took out a loan to purchase a new vehicle was more than two decades ago—and was able to pay it off early—the bank probably wasn't too pleased with me for not allowing them to earn more money off of that loan. Since that time, I have never taken out a loan to purchase a vehicle. It's just that I'm not comfortable doing it. I've always been a stickler about cash, but that doesn't rule out the possibility of taking out a loan in some circumstances.
My automobile was five years old when we first joined Amway. When I purchased it, I paid cash for the item. It looked good, ran well, and met my requirements. As soon as I got it, the Platinum was on my case, demanding to know how much I had spent for it and how much was still owed on my loan. I don't recall telling him how much I paid, but I did inform him that there was no loan. When I purchased it, I paid in cash. As a result, he had to try a different strategy. Alternatively, two or three. The bottom line was that he wanted me to sell my car and get something older and less expensive, so that I would have more money in my pocket to spend on Amway products and tools in the future. It's not like anything like that was ever going to happen. For someone of my age, it is not necessary to be driving about in an outdated car that breaks down on a consistent basis. It is possible that the younger ambots will be granted this "luxury."
Then there's the matter of our house to consider. We didn't pay cash for it, to be honest. We have a mortgage, just like almost everyone else in the country. This isn't our first home, either. In the event that you sell your home, you can use the equity to put toward the down payment on the next home you purchase. If you do it a couple of times by your last residence, perhaps there isn't too much of a mortgage to worry about anymore.
When Ambot "counselled with upline," our house was one of the results. Various situations are possible. Take up a home owner's line of credit based on the equity in your property and use the proceeds to pay off your credit cards, which will free up more cash for you to spend on more Amway schwag and tools. Sell the residence as soon as possible. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?????????????????????????????? Rent out an apartment and use the equity to pay off your credit card debt so that you can start accruing more debt again. ARE YOU KIDDING ME??????????????????????????????
If you don't mind my saying so, but we had no balance on those fucking credit cards until you fucking upline bastards badgered my husband into buying Amway's shoddy items and investing in the tool scam. Our punishment for becoming engaged in your Amway fraud is to sell our home and use the proceeds to purchase more questionable Amway products, correct? Go to hell, you bunch of liars and con artists that work for the Amway Corporation! They're messed up pieces of garbage who only find enjoyment in destroying other people's life and causing them pain.
The equity will be used to fund the purchase of the next home! Your Amway uplines would know this if they weren't such fucking morons, and they wouldn't be giving such bad financial advice in the first place.
What the f*ck is going on? NO!!!! I can imagine the upper management covering their ears and shouting. Never, ever question your upline!!!
So what's the big deal about our house these days? We've been in our home for a long period of time. Due to the fact that we owned a home while practically everyone in our upline was a renter, our upline was really upset by this development.
I was able to figure things out. Jealousy! Upline's logic is that we are not entitled to something they do not have since we have not "earned the right" of having it. Because they are at a higher level in Amway than we are, we are unable to use anything that they do not have access to.
Ambots who are envious, petty, and materialistic. When it comes to my automobile and my residence, I've got one message for you: Fuck off!
