Anyway i wanted to know how poeple deal with friends and Family when it comes to the Dreaded question they will pose to you:
“I have a computer problem”
I have no issues with charging a person for any hardware that need replacing. My issue is charging for my time on a personal level. If a nieghbor (senior citizen) or a family friend asks me to help them (usually with malware) i never charge them whether it take a few minutes or several hours to resolve the issue. (if i do work for a company as a side job, i have no issues charging)
Problem is my wife lets me know, i have been always helping person X,Y and Z but not getting anything in return. So I figure i can at least charge a small fee and put it in my kids bank accounts.
I just feel guilty chaging.
any suggestions?
