Aerodynamics are for people who can't build engines. --Enzo Ferrari

I'm a translator and I get this every time.
If it's not a big project, like, say, half a pages and you're a really close friend, I would do it for free. If it is a big project, like more than 3 pages, it's going to cost you.
My friends used to guilt me into doing their translations for free.
"But I NEED this! Come on, we're friends aren't we?"
"But I can't afford your fee!"
"Friends don't take advantage of friends like that!" -Excuse me, YOU want ME to do WORK for YOU, but if I want to be paid, I'M taking advantage of YOU?-
They're usually quick to find out that if it will cost me more than a little time and effort, it will cost them more than a little money. Of course, I do give discount for friends, but if you look in Webster's, discounts and freebies are not the same thing.
With one exception, though. My mother, my brother and my boyfriend. I'll translate however many they want for free.-It's only after you've lost everything that you're free to do anything.
-I see the strongest and smartest men who have ever lived. And these men are pumping gas and waiting tables.-Fight Club
