i didn't realize how long it had been since I actually posted! geez. Only real updates: We are official! We have turned in our contract and deposit and should get our planner early next week!
Quick question though; in the passporter guide its says the deposit is broken down and $1000 is put toward the minimum and then other is used as a "buffer" and if they don't need it for budget overflow (for lack of a better term) you get that portion back however in the contract it says the deposit is non refundable. Did they change their policy?
*i was just looking through the ebook and now i can't even find where that info was so maybe i'm just making that whole part up with wishful thinking?
