I really don’t care about the actual money and often what I’ll actually ask for is a donation. But what I do care about is not wasting my time on people who don’t value it. People who want easy answers or just to feel like they did something by asking me for “advice”.Permalink On twitter.com

Anyway in the very rare occurrence that this isn’t just the end of it all guess what! I am happy to help and these people tend to actually do something with that help and go beyond.Permalink On twitter.com
