I think Ted is in his 60s. Although he might be 70 by now. I'm not quite

A couple of thoughts...
Would the agreed payment meet your costs and give you some profit?
Would doing this work mean you are missing out on other work?
If you don't loose anything then extended payment terms (not a loan) are
just a risky long term investment.
Another couple of ideas...

Wow, this is a tough call. I would at least get paid
weekly what you can't afford to eat. In my case it
would be 50%.
So if my rate is $90.00, I would want $45.00 an hour
at the end of each week, that is if I could afford to
do it.

I see no problem if you feel that you can trust this client.
My 2nd to last major client had me extending him credit (to the tune of
over $11,500 in 6 weeks) by crying cash flow problems but didn't bother
to tell me he wasn't going to pay... That's not someone you want to

If it were my nominal client, not one that pays a monthly recurring license

essentially a loan, after all) can be hammered out, how collection can be
