There is absolutely no reason to feel like a jerk. You do what is right for you, and your friends and family. As I said, I don't charge...but at the same time, my family and friends do things for me all year long, we help each other when we can. Sometimes they help remodel a rental unit, sometimes they provide transportation to/from the airport, or pay for a weekend getaway to the coast that they don't charge me for. As I said, my dentist gave me free dentistry for a year after I treated his daughter...so it kind of like an even exchange or barter. And as I said, everyone pays their park tickets and transportation to/from Orlando. If you don't have that type of relationship with your friends and family, or if they don't live near enough to reciprocate in some other way, charging them makes perfect sense.
The OP asked what each of us did, and the posters responded. that is all.
