“It scares me to think about what my life would have been like without Primerica,” recalls Ivan Earle. As a young boy growing up in Columbia, South Carolina, Ivan looked forward to a job working at a local chemical plant, where “I thought all of my dreams would come true.” After five years of manual labor, Ivan realized his annual salary of $12,000 would never afford him the lifestyle he wanted for his family.
After meeting a local minister for help, Ivan found himself at an Opportunity Meeting. Within three months of joining Primerica part-time, Ivan quit his job as a plant worker to pursue the opportunity of a lifetime. “It amazes me how many people are content with being average and ordinary and just scraping by,” says Ivan. “I wanted more than that. I wanted the finer things for myself and my family.”
Twenty years later, Ivan’s enjoyed sharing his financial success with his family. He was able to help his mother retire from a teaching career to pursue her dream of operating a day care center, and bought her her dream car. In addition to the extraordinary financial rewards, Primerica has enriched Ivan’s life far beyond his expectations. “With two young sons, it helps to be in control of my own schedule so I don’t have to miss important family events,” explains Ivan. “I have changed my family’s legacy for generations to come.”
