Hot take: "I'll Venmo you right now" clients never pay on time

I had a guy in Phoenix last month promise to Venmo me the 50% deposit before we even started loading his 3 bedroom house. He kept saying 'don't worry, I'm good for it' every time I asked. We finished the whole move and I still haven't seen that $850. Now if someone says they'll pay when they feel like it instead of signing a contract, I just walk away. Has anyone else had a client who talked a big game about upfront payment but ghosted you?

For real "Venmo upfront or no load" is the only way to go, I got burned once too and never again. @hernandez.gavin you got lucky that time but it's risky to count on people paying after the fact. Trust me, just make em send it before you hand over the cash.

Had a guy pay me same day with Venmo last week no issues.
