     Hi, PB,
     
     Thanks for your comments.
     
     While I agree with most of what you wrote, you concluded as follows:
     
          It's one thing to not be able to pay the guy to do your 
          taxes because you had zero income.  It's another thing to 
          tell an accountant you "can't afford" to pay him because you 
          spent too much money on your landscaper, pool cleaner and 
          personal trainer.  That tells the accountant his services 
          are worth less than the others.
     
     I'd suggest this scenario "tells the accountant his services are worth 
     less than the others" only TO YOU.  And that's okay.  Why should the 
     accountant---or anyone---assume that his services would be worth the 
     same to everyone?  Nothing has the same value to everyone, which is 
     why there are buyers and sellers (also non-buyers and non-sellers).
     
     :)
