Just realized how much the 'I'll know it when I see it' line has cost me over the years

I had a web design gig last week where the person kept saying that, then sent back my first draft with a list of 20 vague changes like 'make it pop more'. I spent two extra days on endless tweaks before they just ghosted on the final payment. How do you even give a price for a job when the goalposts are on wheels like that?

Goalposts on wheels" is the worst, man. I see it everywhere now, people just can't make a simple decision and stick to it.

Goalposts on wheels" is so real, but how do you even start pricing a job when the client is that vague?

My last quote was triple the original guess, a total nightmare.
