I was taught by my father that a man is only as good as his word. I must say he lived it and made dang sure that I did as well. In business I strive to do this to the best of my ability. Over the past decade I have noticed that in business and other transactions that money has become first and everything else second including a mans word. If you do not have a written contract then you just as well have not even bothered making the deal. I wonder if this also correlates to tRdoc post as well. Have you noticed this trend as well or am I just picking the wrong people to deal with?
