I am in kind of a fix right now. I have just completed my MBA abroad and unfortunately have not got any job to date. I have been trying extremely hard. My father says he is getting old and wants me, his only son, to join the family trucking business. However, I am totally confused at this point in time, whether to join his business which boasts a fleet of 100 trucks or whether to join the corporate world. Any suggestions?

We gave a down payment for installation of some windows for our home. A contract was signed, the down payment check was cashed. But yet we have not had our windows installed and the guy changed him phone number. We have tried to contact him over and over again and NO LUCK. We even went to his "business" and it seems like no one is there. We signed the contract in May of this year. Now I am getting SUPER nervous. I really don't know what to do. I have reported him to the "BBB". What is my next step. He promised us that he was going to return our money (But that was over a month ago). I really don't want to spend money on a lawyer but I do want my money back....Thanks in advance for your help !

I'm moving to Taiwan, and currently thinking of 3 options as my career there:
1) Find a food industry and get a job as QA/lab technician (as I hold a Food Technology degree), but I have stopped working in this field for the past 3 years.
2) Get a CELTA certificate there and look for job as English Teacher (I'm not English native speaker though and never had any teaching experience)
3) Do freelance English-Chinese translation jobs at home

Which of those jobs would be easier to approach and promise better pay/future?
Please advise! Thank you!

Which method builds a better credit history? Paying for everything you owe every month? Or paying a consistent amount every month, but not paying for all that you owe? My friend was suggesting that leaving a portion unpaid, will raise your scores, since you have "credit", and this is offset by your consitent monthly payments? Any truth to this?

I need information about who buys franchises? This should be general data about the industry, such as age groups, whether men or women are more likely to buy a franchise. Thanks

Why do people in the UK expect to pay nothing for the services provided by Banks? They expect to write cheques for free, use cash machines in locations convenient for them for free, have direct debits and standing orders for free, have a statement printed and posted to them every month for free, have a branch that they can pop into whenever they want for free, have a debit card for free?
Most of them think the Bank makes money out of there few hundred pound they pay in and take out each week . Are they retards or what?

Not sure if that makes sense. I'm selling an expensive piece of jewelry on Craig's List. I have a buyer. The jewelry is genuine. My fear is what if the person buys it, replaces the diamonds w/ fakes and then wants to return it for a refund? I'm the type of person that won't even take jewelry to a shop that doesn't have an onsite jeweler for fear they will swith my diamonds. Am I being paranoid? Once I get the money, I want to pay off some bills not hold on to it just incase they have buyers remorse. What do you think?

I recently checked my credit scores and this is what came up...

Transunion: 503
Equifax: 459
Experian: 574

I have noticed numerous errors in all 3 reports but didn't think it was worth my time to fix... I'm beginning to think I was wrong.

Is it normal for there to be such a large descrepancy in scores? what suggestions can you give me to make this go up.

If you check out this post of mine http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=A9FJuifuQNBEjykB.wDsy6IX?qid=20060801220502AA4k8nY

Thanks.

I am a christian but this question is just about money so don't say you are a millionaire if you mean Jesus although I agree.
Answer only if you are a financial millionaire. Don't say you are if you're not and don't say you're not if you are. No one will know who you are anyway.
