Most people don't take the time to read complex legal documents. They sign and pray everything is going to work out for the best. They don't worry because hard as life is, you have to trust things will get better. If you don't have that kind of attitude, you won't last for long in this world.

Well, I was going to buy a big screen HD TV for the family (me) this Christmas. The Dentist informed me Thing One needed corrective braces for her teeth.

So the money goes to the teeth and I start squirreling away money in the cookie jar for next year.

I see people like her family every month.

"Most people don't take the time to read complex legal documents."

Buyers need to hire - themselves, not through the realtor or the seller - a good dirt lawyer who is well versed in real estate law, to review any and all contracts, to protect the buyer's interest. It's a couple hundred dollars well spent. It would also be wise to insist that this same lawyer handle the closing.
