Thank you Lana - I wonder why the change of heart.
She says herself she panicked originally when she had jobs cancelled etc, but then wasn’t as badly hit as she thought. I think it’s less a change of heart and more that she was too quick to react to what was happening, probably because she isn’t good with money, isn’t organised or patient, and is quite clearly a selfish person.
Now she can’t exactly offer people refunds, so the only thing she can do is give the cash to charity. I mean, it’s better than her hanging onto it, but I truly believe she shouldn’t have asked for it in the first place.
Personal, but as a self-employed person, I get really frustrated with influencers who moan and act as if they’re the only self-employed people in the world, as if nobody else has ever been self-employed and had to chase clients for late payments etc. A lot of them seem to be terrible with money, they have no financial adviser, they have no contingency funds (especially ridiculous when you’re in a job that could potentially disappear one day!). I was really offended by George’s original beg. I’ve lost a lot of my income because of coronavirus, too. I didn’t go round begging my clients for money because they previously liked and supported my work!
