Must be nice......
I met with a customer yesterday morning to give an estimate. We walk into the garage and I see the 2008 460 with 2800 miles and the 84(I think) with 900 miles on it. Must be nice....

I am charging him the same price I am charging another customer to do the same job. I don't jack up my prices because they can afford to pay more.

Nope....almost all of our customers are higher income and I charge the crap out of each and everyone of them no matter what they drive.... 
But to answer your question.....yes I have fallen and bumped my head.....after all I do electrical work for a living. How smart can I really be?
