    I am very bad at letting people pay me for work. I find myself insisting they mustn't do it or should pay me less than they want to. I fear I am contributing to the wage gap.

        It's a common freelancer thing. I'm crap at the money bit too. Once took home a bucket of tadpoles instead of cash.

        Did IT work at client's house. We chatted ponds. I'd just dug one for mum, they had one full of tadpoles. When it came to the hated 'asking for money' bit I asked for a bucket of tadpoles. Frogs are still there, 13 years later. And yes, I'm still broke : )

        I have discovered that there are two parts to being a writer: writing and selling yourself. I have the first bit nailed down but BOY do I suck at the second bit.

        This is funny. I'm the same way. We were talking about partnerships yesterday. I am more aggressive than my husband - except when it comes to money. If we need a deal, a refund, money owed, have been cheated, I send him in. When it comes to money I just can't.....

        I'm not denying there could be a gender based imbalance with regards to this attitude. But make no mistake, it's far from a purely male/female thing.

        I've heard similarly inclined people seriously attribute this kind of choice to the overpowering structural influence of the patriarchy 😑 (unless they were men, in which case, sometimes they say it's 'the man' - but mostly just 'I must try harder')

        Lol. Take the pay and contribute to charity of your choice. I know people who a) ask for less money than they should and b) say to others "are you sure thats enough" when work is carried out for them. Don't do it. :-)

        You're potentially lowering other people's wages. You should stop doing that.

        Think this way. You don't know the value of what you are selling until a customer offers to pay for it.
