the paper work to purchase a new home is mind boggling. it is impossible to read and fully understand document. at one point, i actually signed a document verifying that i had signed a batch of other documents.

the title company and mortgage banker had me sign a detailed breakdown of costs rolled into the mortgage. now as i look at the document a little closer, i wonder what i have gotten into. below are a few contract lines and costs that concern me.

line 3440 - gopher hats, 43.94
line 4860 - slobovian liberation front fund, 88.23
line 4980 - circus peanuts for everyone, 122.59
line 5590 - new bowling shirts, 732.98
line 6190 - filling home with air, 22.54
line 6380 - microsoft new home fee, 83.88
line 7470 - tigers milk and green bananas, 43.34
line 8160 - built on ancient indian burial ground fee, 32.23
line 8840 - fee processing fee, 92.88
line 8930 - eradication of nonsmellable odors, 441.87
line 9220 - monkey butt retrieval fee, 332.42

i think i will just let it go. totaled and rolled into a 30 year mortgage, it's only an extra 14.54 a month.
