    Rant Proof That Rich People Deserve To Be Poor...

    So my wealthy friend calls me and asks me to pop over for a drink. Fine, he has a great selection of vino.

    I get there and he gets straight to the point. He knows I am a geek and he wants a new TV.

    He saw a QLED TV on an ad and thought it looked amazing. The picture looked amazing, almost like 3D he raved. On the ad he was watching on HIS TV!

    He is a bit of an ass. How much do I charge him?

          You would charge a "friend" for your advice?

              He wants me to go and buy the 'new' TV for him.

              Did I mention that he is an ass?

                          I was on my mobile and 'friend' seemed easier than typing "My dad's new wife's friends new husband that I met last month at a wedding - and he is an ass"...

                          Hi Ferus!....


                          EDIT - I thought the word 'ass' indicated that I was using the word 'friend' in it's loosest possible context...

                                  That was pretty much the point of the thread...

                                  Think about it.....

                                              Just get the "friend" to buy a new QLED TV and have the "friend" give you his old TV for your help. What's the problem?

                                                      Do this. Let him know that you're a technology expert and that this is how you make (some of) your money.

                                                      Besides what you know about business, you probably learned a lot of thing things in technology. Everything you know and every service you can provide should be billable.

                                                              Problem is the cheapest places usually have the worst support and friends that seek geek advise, usually need that support more than anything and you walk yourself into a trap. Because you become their support person.... long term.
