It's funny how people claim "X amount is not worth it" and base it on their own finances not understanding that it is relative and different for everybody.

For whatever reason this is common in adult, don't see anything like this in any mainstream boards I use. When I bill a mainstream client $100 for services rendered or products delivered - or even $40 - I expect them to pay. Not because it's the difference between paying my groceries or mortgage, but because that's how the fucking world works. For whatever reason there's a segment of people in our industry feel the need to remind everyone how well they're doing - dunno if adult by nature attracts douchebags like that, or if it's learned because that's the scene (moreso in the past).
