Is there a way to get a huge amount of customers quickly and not spend a lot of money on advertising? Who should I focus on more? Homes or Businesses ...

My husband and I are devastated financially. We were making it fine for several years, but in the last year, things are falling more and more behind, and NOW, I will not make any income while on maternity leave. I don't want to leave my baby with a stranger, but we can't make it on his meager income. HECK, we can't even make it on our combined income!!! I'm ready to walk away from everything and live in a tent!!! HELP!!! FYI: Credit counselling said one year ago that we just needed to make more money. That's easier said than done. And, we have sold most of our assets besides our house (that'll probably be next) Consolidation loans will not help, and creditors call daily. AT WIT'S END!!!

The value of my property has gone up since I bought it, but my property tax has remained relatively the same. Just wondering If I don't sell it, will I get assessed for the higher tax sooner or later?

I applied for an internet job with Americare Health Plan Inc. Everything seems to be okay except they want me to send a copy of my SSN card. I don't feel comfortable with that so I was wondering if this company is a huge scam or if it is a well known company.

I have a two year degree in elctrical and mechanical maintenance. I like my current job a lot, but I'm concerned that over the next few years jobs in this field will become fewer and fewer with the current loss rate of manufacturing jobs . I am very diversified in my skills; mechanics, pnuematics, hydraulics,electrical, machining, PLC's and CNC's. .

Is this career going to be worth investing further training in the years to come? Would specialized certifications, such as ISA"s CIMM, IFPS's CFPPM, or electronics training be beneficial or should I just start training in another field? Because I work a rotating shift engineering and engineering technology, although the most likely choices, are out of the question. I have an interest in a computer career, but would this too be a dead end field in the years to come?

Thanks in advance for your USEFUL advise and comments.

Please focus on US stocks only. If possible give 5 stocks to short and 5 stocks to long. Answers are used to assess investment sentiments of general investing public and to base my own decisions.

I am a college student who HAD a part-time job. I started working at this professional place 2 months ago. This week the employer pulled me to the side and told me that they felt I was not 100% reliable, and thus "let me go." The reasons they said were that because my friends party and do drugs, and my boyfriend does, and that they will pull me into a hole. They said that they are afraid I will take a nose-dive and that they cannot take the risk, and that my social life has pushed the limit.

The only way they knew this was that my coworker (who I idiotically told my personal life too) told them about my social life.

Was this a just reason for dismissal?

I was downsized (along with 10,000 of my co-workers) in 2002, after being with AT&T for 14 years. I know people who worked for AT&T for 28 years and were downsized.

Since the downsizing (my second with the company), my wages have dropped 50% and the company I work for is the worst place I've ever worked. People are leaving in droves, but I haven't been able to find another great job with decent pay.

Sometimes it really gets me down. I'm a union person, but, when it comes to layoffs, when you're in a union, you're just a number on a layoff list. Sometimes I feel like I'll never make good money and have a job I love again. I'm 54 years old and the clock is ticking. No jerk answers, please.
