inI spent $800 on a fancy tax software package that my accountant said was completely wrong for my setup.
Blame the software company for that one. Their marketing always makes things sound like a one-size-fits-all solution. You have to check the fine print or call their sales line and grill them about your specific situation.

inSpent $500 on a 'revolutionary' AI writing tool that just rephrased Wikipedia
Kai_ramirez38 has a point asking which tool, but honestly most of them work the same way right now. You just need to learn how to prompt them better for original stuff.

inGot my first real quote request and had no clue what to charge
My cousin in Austin charged $500 for her first website last year and felt the same way. She told me every new freelancer basically sets their first price by pure guesswork. The real pattern I see is that we all treat our first quote like a final exam when it's really just a practice test. You learn what to charge by doing the work, seeing how long it takes, and then adjusting for the next person. That $750 is your starting data point, not a life sentence. What kind of side business is your friend starting?
