So true!! I've been stiffed by "devout" Christians and the well off in business matters. Hard working people save up their money for the contractor to get the work done. I always ask for at least half up front when dealing with Godly or Moneyed men....
I always ask for half up front in general, and if they kill the job midway, I keep it. It's right there in my contract. It only makes sense, especially if you've gone to some expense in the service of the gig.
You are right to include the well-off in your assessment of those most likely to stiff you. And they do it with an attitude of entitlement that is infuriating. Be strong, comrade!
