  • Is SnackHealthy a scam?

    I've been approached by my friend again about a company called SnackHealthy that is apparently going to be "the next big thing" according to him. He's excited because the company is is "prelaunch" whatever that means, so he says that I have the chance to get in at the very beginning where I can make even more money. I'm again hesitant because it seems that all of these companies are "the next big thing" and because so much emphasis on making money comes from recruiting others rather than on the product itself.

    I also don't want to miss a good opportunity if it presents itself where I can make money. That's why I'm here again asking if SnackHealthy is a scam or something that might be worth me investing in.

    You have a lot of friends that approach you about scams don't you? You just asked about Wake Up Now in another thread a couple days ago.

    Maybe you need new friends.

      Stop scamming the site with names of all of these other scams. If you want to invest, we can certainly talk about stocks, bonds, mutual funds, commodities, real estate trusts, etc. but we aren't interested in hearing the latest get-rich quick scheme that your "friend" has told you about.

      Now we'll be inundated with more new posters touting the benefits of this company. How wonderful.

        I did say "my friend again" as it was the same friend as before. Yes, I did ask about that and from all your answers, I told him that I wasn't interested in that. When I did, he said I should consider this new one that is beneficial because it's in prelaunch so I'll get in "on the ground floor." I wanted honest opinions, so that's why I asked again. I'm new at this and trying to find my way through it without getting taken fro a ride.

          I'm not trying to scam this site. I'm looking for impartial opinions on something that I don't know well about. Why would I try to scam seeing as how all the members here tore up the last one I mentioned? It would be stupid for me to do that. I am just new at this whole work from home business opportunities thing and I'm trying to navigate through it without getting taken, but also so I don't miss something that is good. That's why I asked the question. I'm sorry if you have taken my questions is the wrong way.

            You want to get out of the "I don't want to miss a good deal" mindset because that is only going to create a situation where you lose money. If you don't understand how the system works or you aren't 100% sure through your own investigations that it's legit, then walk away. Anyone that claims you can make easy money because you get in at the beginning doesn't know what they are talking about.

            Red Flags
            • You make most of the money by recruiting people, not selling the product
            • Have to act quick to get in early (you should never have to act quick when making an investment)
            • No financial disclosures to back up claims
            • Same guy that said the other deal was good when it wasn't

              Is this friend of yours rich? Has he showed you how much he is making from his participation in these companies?

              Stop looking for "the next big thing" and focus your investing on the tried and true proven things. That's not to say you can't do some speculating with maybe 5% of your portfolio, but it should basically be play money, not the foundation of your investment life. It should be money that you're willing to lose.

                Slow and steady wins the race. Stop chasing after the "Next Big Thing."

                If you want to retire in comfort, then live frugally and on a budget, save as much of your income as you can, invest in a company sponsored retirement plan and in a personal IRA or ROTH IRA, and educate yourself so that you can earn an above average income.

                Get rich quick scams won't get you anywhere but broke. STAY AWAY FROM THEM!

                  Growing up, I had a poster of Murphy's Laws in my bedroom. One of the laws was "Everybody has a get-rich-quick plan... that won't work!"

                    Most Certainly a Scam

                    This definitely sounds like a scam, and I would stay as far away as possible!

                        It's a great deal if you already buy and use their healthy snacks.

                          That really doesn't mean that you can't do some wondering with maybe 5% of your profile, but it should generally could have give you back with cash, not the base of your financial commitment lifestyle. It should be cash that you're willing to reduce.

                            Well I did real many articles on it but still confusing.
