Objections 24. My money is hard earned. Some people don't want to give their money away, at least any more than they have to, from feelings they worked very hard to get it. We're not doubting that your money is hard earned, but at the same time, the driver's (tip) money is also hard earned. This excuse is really a lack of respect for the driver. It's similar to I can't afford the tip. Last updated: August 6, 2008
