The ECA Invoice

Someone always pays. Check who.

Tell us what they did. We write an itemized invoice for it, in the style of The Everyday Common Asshole: the terrible advice they seem to be following, who paid and how much, and the Better Move that would settle the account.

• The lessonThe terrible advice their behavior is following, in the book's voice.
• The invoiceThree line items: who paid, and what it cost them.
• The Better MoveWhat they could do instead, plus the smaller repair.
