It's Thursday and this is the Ramsey call of the day. Part of the Ramsey Network.

Joining me today is Ramsey Personality, Christy Wright. Today's question comes from Jennifer

in Pennsylvania. I have a side hustle and charge a fair price for my product. Some of my

customers are not financially secure and I feel bad taking their money. If I lower my prices,

it wouldn't be worth my time to do it. How can I stop feeling guilty for selling to them?

So this is an interesting question. I hear that same phrasing, Dave, when I hear people talking about

any type of sales, they say, I don't want to take people's money. Well, first of all, you're not

taking people's money. They're giving it to you

because of the value of the product or service you provide. But the other thing I would add to this is

if you're getting the wrong customer, you might need to look at your branding and your marketing

to get a customer that can afford what you're doing. Because you can't do it at a lower price.

You're already charging a fair price. Maybe there's something mixed up in your messaging that you are attracting customers that

cannot pay what you're charging and they're not a good fit for you then.

So you change your messaging to get a different customer that can afford the price that

you're charging, which is fair to you.

What we tell people all the time, David, the price that you charge should be fair to you

as a business owner and fair to the customer.

It needs to be fair both ways.

But this idea that you're responsible for their money management, you're not.

But you may want to look at your marketing if you're getting a lot of pushback that, you know,

these are not the right customers.

There's a not a right fit.
