How do you deal with friends and family if you have a trade/skill own a shop etc.
Do people you know well expect stuff done for free/cheap etc.
My uncle was a decorator many years ago. I remember he quoted my parents for a decorating job. They found someone cheaper and it caused awkwardness.

I give discounts for people who aren't wealthy, and then charge people who can afford it more!!! My small way of distributing wealth!!
When possible I skill swap with friends. And agree as many have said before, I'm happy to pay friends properly, and know they are doing a thorough job.
