How much I would pay depends on what it is and if it actually solves the problem. A lot of people make bold claims that often fall flat. Maybe they work for others, but they didn’t have any lasting impact on me.

You can pay $$$ to solve it. They say it's the world's oldest profession (or p2p business if you prefer).
