Good luck at your lesson!
When I was trying to sell the Monster guitar, the guy punctuated every sentence with, "well, we would have to set-up the guitar first".

What does that mean, I would ask. $75 was the reply
Did the guitar have a tremolo system on it? If so, that's a fair price. If not, that is kind of high, unless the guitar was in bad shape and needed work done on the neck or something.

That said, professional setups are generally completely worth it. They adjust the action, intonation, neck relief and usually give the electronics a once over to make sure everything is sound. They also clean and oil the fret board.
The day you don't fell like trash please tell us.
I feel like trash. Stuck at home today
I can relate to that. It’s tough not to want to tell everyone you know after you do something good. As a kid I used to get all excited when I got to hold the door open for people. I was a weird kid
Because I'm neurotic and think that maybe I only do it because subconsciously I need to pay it forward in case I need it one day.

You know, all that good self-loathing stuff.

I always feel like my charity lacks altruism.

That's a metaphor for life. You figured out how to get there, regardless.
