Is it possible that things have changed or that this time it will be different with me getting in with him?

I've seen it with Amway and about a dozen other MLM setups.
Look at it as a business. If I bought a subway franchise I would own it.
If you get involved in a MLM they can pull the plug on your income stream in a minute... which they do... I knew a evangelists wife who made 100k a year selling energy pills from church to church, in fact they had their yearly rally at General Conference. However the company changed policies and cut her off.. so all she had accomplished was giving several years of her life cutting her husbands ministry in the throat by making pastors very hesitant to call him and she up'd her lifestyle to have it cut in a second. Plus the pills weren't safe anyhow.
If your looking at it as a business just do simple math with your friend. Ask him how much he grossed on the sales and ask him how much product he bought to keep his distributor status. Thats your net. The article says all but 1% make 100 or less a month net. Waste of time on a hourly basis.
Hes most likely a great guy whos excited by the moon beams and rainbows he was sold. You pick up on his excitement as a new convert also. But just look at it as a realistic business... MLM's are hard work and will always warp your social interactions because you can't just be friends with people anymore.. they are always prospects to pitch.
