The things that cost us money, written by the people they cost
Every reseller has a list of things they had to find out the expensive way. They almost never get written down, which is why every newcomer pays for them again.
So we are writing them down. Each part below is one question. Answer whichever ones you have an answer to — one is plenty, and a sentence is plenty.
Your words go in exactly as you wrote them, with your name on them if you want it there and without it if you don’t.
