Contracts & Small Print - Purpose with Mark Bertrang

What does the package say for throat lozenges?  How about this - "Has not been evaluated by the food and drug administration."  Yet, we buy them.  I did in fact, for a sore throat and cold I'm working through right now.  When you need to make life decisions more important than a sore throat lozenge, the small print becomes much more important.  I will oftentimes see people enter into contracts without reading them.  Think of when you purchased a house for the first time and you sat at the bank conference table to sign a thirty-year mortgage.  The loan officer perhaps simply said - "Sign here, and here, and here and there".  Did you wonder what you were really signing.  The same should be the case when you enter into a life insurance contract.  It may be called a policy, but it's actually a contract between you and the life insurance company.  What does it really say?  What are the guarantees.  Do you know?
