I would rather be cash flow poor, as I am, than deal with this kind of stuff.
Reminds me of the story about Benjamin Franklin. Sorry I don't recall the particulars but essentially it was where he was an up-and-coming printer in Philadelphia. He was approached by one of the city's leading citizens to do a printing job. Franklin had a passing acquaintance with the man, and, as it turns out didn't particular like him; he didn't hate him, just didn't like him...esp. his politics. And, yup, the printing job the man wanted Franklin to do was a political pamphlet.
Now while Franklin couldn't stand the politics, it was a big job, it would make him a handsome sum of money, and make him better known to a Philly mover-and-shaker. But Franklin really, really disagreed with what the man had written. And so, making some kind of believable excuse, he told the man he'd let him know in a few days whether he could take the job or not.
Well, in a nut shell: For the next three days Franklin lived on essentially a subsistence diet: bread, water, gruel. All to see how he could handle what might just happened if he turn down this printing job and the other man discovered just why he had been refused. Franklin discovered that though uncomfortable he did survive and could survive. He tactfully turned down the printing job, the other man never the wiser.
