I Was Never a Critical Reader

or so the SATs told me.

I received an assortment of documents from FirstSavings Bank the other day in preparation for our Monday closing. In reading through, and subsequently signing, them I realize that my comprehension of words has dropped off the face of the Earth. The saving grace here is that I have no shame in emailing Loan Processor Megan about anything and everything. Sure it might frustrate her, but she doesn't let on and will only have to deal with my inane questions for another 30 years.

On a related note, we have homeowners insurance. Contrary to what I may have told some people, it is NOT only $310 a year. In my quote application, I had requested only $50,000 in dwelling coverage. Simply put, that's not enough. Somewhere along the line I must've entered that amount as a placeholder. The real dwelling coverage bumps our insurance coverage to $877, which is still in line with our anticipated monthly expenses.

All is still right with the world.
