My wife and I were discussing something tangential to this the other
day. When people are young, they engage in all sorts of silly things
that waste time. But when you get older, your time becomes progressively
more valuable to you. In this case, I wouldn't want to waste my time on
what you describe. I don't care how big the check is. I have too many
other more important things to do with my time.
