I've had to turn away much-needed work lately because people didn't want to pay up front. I can't do it anymore, though. Not even for people with good reputations. I can't keep working for free. If I'm not going to be paid for something I could be designing TGP galleries to submit myself or spending time with my kids. 
I did 30 galleries recently for a sponsor (and gave them a great deal) and after many days of their bank "screwing up my account number in the wire" and such (which may or may not be true, I don't know) AND a check that was Fed Exed to me and BOUNCED, I have finally received almost half of what I'm owed. No, I'm not going to say who it is. I hate doing that kind of thing because maybe it really is true. Who knows? At least I've gotten part of the payment already, so maybe they are really just having rotten luck.
I was also asked to do some buttons and banners for a content provider (again, I won't say who). They gave me no specific instructions, just some very vague comments about what they wanted, and now they have sent me an e-mail that says, "Not what I wanted, sorry."  So now I spent my day off creating banners instead of going to see Return of the King which is what I'd planned to do, and I'm not getting paid.
So now I'm stuck with having to decide whether to risk working my tail off for nothing to have a CHANCE to get paid, or turning a job down completely and getting nothing at all.
