Woman Makes $200 A Month Selling Stuff To Her Friends, Spends $200 A Month Buying Stuff From Her Friends
2019-04-03
[Babylon Bee] EFFINGHAM, IL‐Local woman Karen Morales reported she was proud of herself for making close to $200 with her at-home makeup business last month, selling various makeup products to her friends from church.

According to sources close to Morales, however, she also spent $200 last month buying things from her friends' wide range of MLM businesses.

"It's really great to take control of my own life and become my own boss, so I can spend all that extra fun money on stuff my friends are selling to take control of their lives and become their own bosses," she told reporters. "I get to help women look their best and make a little slush money on the side. Then, I get to go to their homes so I can be pressured into buying weird cooking utensils I'll never use, fitness drinks that don't work, and essential oils that I could buy at Walmart for a whole lot less."

"We ladies have to stick together, so it's great that we can help each other out by selling each other stuff we don't need. It's an endless, beautiful circle of friendship," she added.

At publishing time, Morales was disappointed to discover that she had done the math wrong and actually spent $400 supporting her friends' businesses last month.

#7  Maybe Raj could shed some light on this.

It said 'barter', not 'martyr'.

#3  Reads like they have a barter economy going on. I'm told that such things have to be reported to the IRS.

Maybe Raj could shed some light on this.

#2  Because the government gets their cut each time, eventually leaving nothing?

Sounds like an awesome economy to me. Not sure why the BB would disparage this sort of commerce.
