looking for some insight!

Hey everyone, I am currently investing through bedroom rentals and have met people who are much further along than I am who I look to for advice which is great. Recently I randomly met someone who I actually really like and basically took the form of a general mentor, he owns a successful marketing company and after meeting 5-6 times he drops the Amway multileveling marketing thing on me and asks if id like to join, "his company is separate". I am not interested in the Amway program or products but what I do like is the mentor portion of it that they all follow.

It sounds so weird out loud but here's the scoop, to basically be apart of the mentor program I have to buy $300 dollars worth of products from this amway store and then pay $150 dollars a month. In total you pay $450 a month but you keep the products which consists of common consumable products. The only issue is we might really only use $100 dollars of stuff a month that can be bought on the site since we are kind of minimalists. 
The main part of it is to just be around some high level people on a regular basis 

Looking for insight if I should bag this whole thing and not pay to use the mentor program, any and all help would be much appreciated!

I don't have a direct feel for the situation but at first perception it doesn't look that good.

Anybody who wants you to pay some type of money in order to hang out with them rather than just being happy with the value you bring them within your current relationship, is  full of it. 

Now I am not saying, don't pay for masterminds and education opportunities because I have definitely done that but all I would suggest is to do your due diligence  and see if it is right for you.

Another thing I notice from this pitch, is it is awfully confusing and doesn't make sense to me which is another red flag. But i am not the sharpest tool in the drawer so take that with a grain of salt. 

Best of luck!

P.s. I know a couple Nigerian princes who have some very exciting investment opportunities. Let me know if you are interested and i'll get you in contact;), haha.
