Tip: Before you sign anything

Thinking about buying a used car or renting an apartment? Before you do either one of these, make sure you read over the paperwork and understand what the important terms mean.

It goes without saying, but it is crazy how many people don't actually do this and then when a problem turns up they are sitting around with their bottom lip poked out.

Don't have your bottom lip poked out. Ask questions and read what you're signing.
