Don't forget they have two leased cars, the other one is a little white car, i'm not great on car models, I believe it's the type of car with the 4 or 5 rings as the logo.

Can you work out roughly how much her annual earnings would be based on the 2500cc's?

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 11/09/2019 15:04

Unless this one is replacing the Audi.

I thought it was odd that she took a selfie in the Audi the other day (only the day before the new range rover) - it hasn't appeared in photos for ages. Maybe she thought she'd better get a few more pics in there before it went?

dickiedavisthunderthighs · 11/09/2019 15:58

Mr Yawn had an Audi as well. It quietly disappeared one day to be replaced with an old banger.
The fact that Mr Yawn has both a J.O.B. and an inheritance is likely to have far more to do with the lease on the new hairdresser-mobile than Forever.

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 11/09/2019 16:23

Ah yes I remember now. The replacement old banger was palmed off as "the dog car" wasn't it.

Spongebobette · 11/09/2019 19:06

SO so bored of Yawn now. She’s utterly predictable.
It’s like Groundhog Day, she’s on a loop.
Recruiting a new team for Spring/ Summer/ September/ Christmas/ New Year.
Look I have a new car.
Something something team training something.
Look at my house look at my clothes look at my furniture.
Nothing interesting or original about her.
It’s a tired, worn out schtick.

See Yawn has priorities right

  1. Me
  2. Me
3.Me 4.Me
  1. Write bizniz speech
Her BFF can make a bed up apparently and there is more likes & comments than normal bizniz. No live from PHD but she has written some waffle.
Paddy1234 · 11/09/2019 20:26

Just catching up on the news as been away for a while.
It's all very Groundhog Day with Yawn as normal

Spongebobette · 11/09/2019 20:51

It’s just as well there’s do much churn in Forever Living. Otherwise the minions would spot the Scooby Doo type backdrop; things repeating over and over and over.
Top bots like Yawn are a one act play.

Spongebobette · 11/09/2019 20:55

*so much

d’oh

Allmyarseandpeggymartin · 11/09/2019 21:36

Yes I wish Yawn were would do something different she’s getting boring (although I did like her blue nails)

What’s all this sapphire bullshit about?

Also is she still going to Oz? She’s gone very quiet on that front.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 11/09/2019 21:55

"Stage debut"? Perhaps she could invest in a dictionary...

When I went to pick up my new Audi, paid for with money earned by doing my J.O.B, the salesman asked if I wanted him to take a photo of me standing by it. I said I couldn’t think of anything so tacky and naff.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 12/09/2019 07:12

@DoraExplorer99 - you are right about scraping in at 2.5K CC.

The FLP UK post showing all qualifiers for Stockholm ranked the bots by CCs achieved- Yawn just managed to make 2.5K.

As you say, she got in quite late, which makes one wonder how many last minute 'garage qualifying' purchases were made...

Just had a thought would the higher earners come under the child benefit rules?

Whiterangey · 12/09/2019 08:49

Your maths is wrong. £50k is only 5 figures. She is a 6 figure earner.

So she's basically not earning a lot after expenses are taken out.

fromdownwest · 12/09/2019 11:15

Re Child benefit, any income above £50,000 will reduce the child benefit, up to £60,000 where it is totally lost. This can be offset by making pension contributions, however, I doubt any bot is intelligent enough for that, where is the glamour in that.

To be honest, I doubt whether half of them actually know how to properly declare their income.

Can you imagine if HMRC launched an Audit on an MLM, and requested income statements for each consultant. The MLM would be completely in the clear as the liability to disclose income is on the arms length consultant.

Backdating tax, back dating NI, back dating High Income child benefit charge, impacts on benefit entitlement...

This would cripple 99% of them, as I doubt they do not set aside cash for such emergencies.

9dartfinish2nd · 12/09/2019 11:44

I wish HMRC would crack down on it, there are a ridiculous amount of huns who set up LTD companies and then let them be dissolved having never posted any accounts. Clearly most dont make money and are too embarrasses to publish the fact for everyone to see on Companies House website. I'm also certain there some who probably do so to avoid corporation tax as well.

Gentleness · 12/09/2019 12:43

I've been reading this thread to see if PlanNet were mentioned as a risk as a couple of friends have become really active and I'm worried for them. Is this an MLM where the only thing wasted is time, or am I naively clutching at straws? Are they going to be losing money or risking debt?

Paddy1234 · 12/09/2019 13:07

What I don't get is where is the product being bought now? I literally don't see it anywhere!

leasedaudi · 12/09/2019 13:07

What actually happens to those bots who don't pay their Hmrc bills? And don't make their promised payments under the IVA? I can't believe tax bill bit is just pretending everything is awesome.
