Who's Making Money in Mary Kay? Not Debi Moore's Area! Jul 2nd 2012, 11:00 Every so often we like to take a look at the money women are making (or not) in Mary Kay. Today we are looking at national sales director Debi Moore. According to her unitnet website, she has 37 directors in her area. She posted the year-to-date retail of the top 15 directors through June 29, [...]

Tracy, here, claims that Debi Moore's area is "not making money"? Tracy likes to criticize what she calls "Mary Kay Math".  But what about her math? I know plenty of people that feed and care for their entire family, comfortably, for $40K/year.  I know many others that may have to make sacrifices, but can care for their family for less than this.  I am talking about $40k/year BEFORE taxes, BEFORE expenses AND they don't get the use of a free car. That said, I am not sure how much money Tracy makes, but when she tells HER friends about her income, does she say, "I make $50k/year", or does she say, "I make $48,645 before taxes and "expenses" , which comes out to about $20k that I can actually take home to 'put food on my kids table'"? I am guessing it would be the former.  If not, she is in the vast minority.  Most people offer their approximate annual income, pre-tax, pre-expenses. Further, she "poo-poos" an $80k income, the use of a car (as though that person would NOT be making a car payment if they didn't have it) and the fact that even at $10k/year these women are making commissions on other people's sales. She also, conveniently, neglects to tally up the amount of all of these incomes.  Doing so would show that "Debi Moore's Area" is, indeed, making money.
