A group of us
were contributing
funds
toward a gift.
One person
in the group
was delivering it
and staying
for the not-so-fun event
to support the gift recipient.
I told the group
the delivery person
shouldn’t contribute funds.
She was already contributing
in other ways.
The delivery person
protested
and insisted on contributing financially
as well.
F*ck no.
Time, in this busy, busy world,
is THE most precious resource.
That partner
who is doing most of the work
on your joint project?
They should have
a much lower buy-in.
Value time.
It is MORE important
than a financial contribution.
