  1. ahh yes…consideration. love it!

    sorry to hear of your loss. 😦

  2. Consideration: both parties to a contract have to give something in order for the contract to be binding. If either party is found not to have actually provided consideration for the contract, the contract is not binding.

    1. Yes, but the difficulty seems to be in figuring out what “something” means.

  3. It’s anything of value. It can be money, an object, services, the promise of an action, or even the promise of inaction.

    1. I was adding to the above comment, btw.

      1. I figured. And, now that we talked about it, I’m getting it. What confused me was the idea that something could be consideration if you asked for, might not be consideration if it was just offered to you.

  4. Both parties have to be bound in some way by the contract. It can’t just be one party agreeing to something while the other is under no form of obligation.

    1. Yeah, I get that. What was throwing me was the concept of bargaining for. If I gave you money. And you gave me a library at your church with my name on it, that wasn’t consideration. But, if I gave you money because I asked you to put my name on the library, that was consideration. Didn’t get the difference, at first.
