Old boss asks for help

Hi all. Will look to keep this short. Three months back, I started a new job. The new job pays double my old salary, is fewer hours (both were salary but new is no nights or weekends spillover), less stressful, and I no longer have to work alongside a coworker I can’t stand. Overall it was a place I worked hard and took on extra workload but had others promoted over me and only got the minuscule yearly salary bumps. Today, the boss from the old job messaged me looking to chat about one of their upcoming projects. I ignored the text. I’m not obligated to help them, nor work for free (wouldn’t even if they paid). Anyway, not really looking for advice or anything, but was just gratifying to see them already looking for help just a few months later. Let them figure it out. They had their chance.
