You're booked solid and still broke. The calendar's full, the phone won't quit, and somehow the money never adds up at the end of the month. It isn't you. Nobody ever sat you down and showed you the numbers behind your price, so you've been guessing, rounding down, and quietly eating the difference on every dog.
