Business & Finance - 12 July 2006

I am 16 years old and now trying to teach myself how to become successful in life. I want to be rich and I am talking about 500 thousand and up. I understand it does not come easy. I am planning on going to collegue but I also know that this will only help to educate me but will not make me a millionaire. I come from a middle class family. One person I admire alot is the creator of girls gone wild videos, this man became wealthy early in his life, he also graduated from collegue, and he didnt spend his entire life studying.
Here are my questions:
Who is a self-made millionaire I can study that came from a middle class family?
What career should I think about getting into.. that will help me pursue my dream?
After I study for my career what would be best for me to do.. get in stock market, open a bussiness?

Educated answers only please

I was looking at apartments and condos for rent and came across a really nicely renovated condo...it used to be a pretty run down apartment, but anyways they were renting and gave the option to buy. this offer came from the owners of the entire building. they were very pressing about us buying the unit rather than renting. but anyways, they asked for $20 for an application and also the full amount of rent as a deposit when we put in our application, which kinda surprised me, because all the places i ever was interested in they never charged for an application fee to rent, nor did they ask for the full months rent as deposit due with the application. u always put the deposit after u got ur credit check and application approved. anyways i thought it was weird, thought maybe its a scam and they wanted 20 dollars per application, when no other place in my city did this. CONTINUED...

I am a first time RE investor. I want to buy a house that is in a stable to good neighborhood in Indianapolis. I want the home to have some issue (ugly to the bone, foundation problem) something that is fixable but not catastophic. I want a deal 20-30% below market value. With alot of work on my part and some money, I hope to get 15% out of the real estate transaction. Any advice or success stories about transactions of this type? I am interested in your experience.

Thank you.

The company is seeking to hire a qualified candidate to fill in this new Regional Sales role. I was told by the manager that this is "informal" rather than "formal". Why?

If a person with no remaining family members dies without a will and having only five hundred dollars in the bank but owing thousands to credit card companies, what can the card company do about it? Are they insured against such eventualities.

This person has already paid for his cremation.

I can't stop spending money on this dancing game at my local arcades. How do I stop this? I found out I don't play for fun. I play for attention seeking because I'm a pro. Yes its sad but I can't help it! Any tips? Thank you.

I have cancer and filed bankruptcy 2 years ago. Recently my husbands mother passed away. She did not leave a will, and his sister and himself are the only living relatives eligible to receive the house. She was on Farmers home loan, so we have to pay 6 percent to even get the house under our name. My question is, that since we filed bankruptcy 2 years ago, can I sell the home that I am living in, and purchase his mothers home for the six percent that is owed? My sister inlaw also is in the process of filing bankruptcy... How does this work? What a mess! If we could get the home under all of our names, once we sold the house, we would like to set up payments to his sister. I am afraid if I sell my home, that maybe the hospital would try and take the equity I had in my home.... Any clue?

He's 52, married for a long time. He's smart, funny and looks kinda nice too. Then he hired this woman about 1-1/2 years ago. At first she acted quiet and nice - like a regular person. Then she passed probation, figured out whose butt to kiss (the boss's) and started to take over the section she was in, stepping right over women who had been there for years. She also began spending LOTS of time with him - they'd come in together, have lunch together and leave together. They are both married to other people! Everybody can see what's going on. I tried going up the ladder to complain but got smacked down. Now she doesn't even work in our section anymore but still comes around practically every day, acting like she owns the section and him with it.

Why is he being so stupid? Isn't he old enough to know better? My main problem is jealousy, because I have feelings for him but never did anything about it because he's married. But he could hurt his career & marriage. Any suggestions?
