Flexibility's great, but ever worry it might give you too much room to second-guess yourself? Had a client once who backed out of a solid deal because they overthought it...ended up regretting it later. Sometimes structure can save us from ourselves, y'know?
- Fair point, but structure isn't always a safety net.
- Escrow gives you breathing space...but if you're already prone to second-guessing, won't extra rules just add anxiety?
- Sometimes flexibility helps you trust your gut instead of overthinking details.

Good point, but isn't escrow more about simplifying things rather than adding complexity? When I refinanced, having escrow actually reduced my stress—fewer deadlines to track meant less second-guessing overall. Maybe it's about finding the right balance?

Escrow definitely simplifies things for me. I used to handle taxes and insurance separately, and honestly, it was a headache—always felt like I was forgetting something. Now with escrow, it's one less thing on my plate. Sure, there's a bit less control, but the trade-off in peace of mind is worth it. Like you said, it's probably about finding that sweet spot between convenience and control...
I've been on both sides of this fence, and escrow definitely has its perks. But have you ever had an escrow company mess up your payments or timing? Happened to me once—talk about a headache. 😅 Since then, I've leaned toward handling things myself again. Sure, it's more to track, but at least I know exactly what's happening and when. Guess it really does come down to personal comfort level...
