Are you a guy that can fix things?
Like cars. Appliances or anything. When I was a kid, I thought it was like something that a man had to do. I know now that it’s not. The internet really helps nowadays.

One day when I realized I rarely gained anything at all in return for fixing people's computer problems for nothing, I finally learned to say no. Now I say I charge $35 an hour with a 1 hour minimum, cash upfront. Oh and then ask where's their backup of the hard drive. No one ever does backups and they expect magic from you. Their attitude changes fast from expecting free shit for nothing to complete surprise. The daze of sandwiches for dollars are long gone. Like the old saying goes...gas, grass, or a*s - nobody rides for Free! 😂
