My family and friends stopped asking me for free technical help when I started mailing them invoices.

  My family asks me for technical help all the time. As annoying as it gets, I've probably saved much more money from their free legal and medical advice than they from my technical expertise. My aunt's medical advice literally saved my life.

    That's probably the best trade of I've ever heard.

  I would much rather help my friends and family than they get ripped off, by the shoddy dealer down the road. I always end up having dinner when I come over to help anyway, and it usually involves downloading a printer driver, getting them on firefox, or something simple. Of course these days, I just recommend they get a Mac.
