No the sad way to go through life is going poor me someone lied to me and because of that I purchased a house I could not afford, the car I bought is a piece of junk, the RV I bought leaks, I can not tow the trailer that I bought because my truck wont pull it. Could go on and on and on. Become responsible for yourself and stop blaming everyone else. Tell me do you have blind trust with anyone with your money? I do not. Properly run business do not either that is why they have INDEPENDENT audits because they do not trust there own people.

I don't recall anyone blaming someone else for their troubles in this thread. Maybe I missed it.

And what have I stated (or anyone else)in the replies for you to ask "Tell me do you have blind trust with anyone with your money?"

I have advocated being prepared, doing your homework, study and education to enable yourself to find a good salesperson and dealer.

I agree with you completely "become responsible for yourself".

Blind faith is no way to proceed through life... but fear and distrust
of everyone can be just as detrimental.

With your distrust and believing you are being lied to regarding the price or the terms of a transaction... every major purchase you have made must have been a nightmare for you.

What you call fear and distrust is what I call being responsible.
I have no nightmares when I make a purchase or have a service performed no matter how big or small however I have been and will be a nightmare to those that are caught trying to take advantage of me or my family. And yes I do look for those people each and every time.
We have very definite fundamental rules in our lives. I would rather be the pessimist that goes around smiling and happy because things did not turn out as bad as I had planned on than being the optimist that goes around disappointed that things did not turn out as good as he had hoped.

So to each to his own.
