Hi, I am 18, live on my own and have a job and I want a credit card. The only problem is, I have no credit and have been refused by The bay, Canadian Tire, Mastercard and Capital one.

I use a pre paid mastercard when I have to purchase online or over the phone but that is annoying because I have to deposit money into it all the time. I am a little leary because I love to shop and I mainly want to buy really expensive jewelry, clothes, etc. that I can't afford to pay with in cash!

Are credit cards good? Do you think they are necessary? What are some good websites where I can apply for a credit card? My bank is CIBC and I am in Canada.

I have mutual funds (IRA and Roth IRA) with Vanguard but thinking of rolling the 100,000 to Fidelity. Anyone know the long-term track record? The Freedom Funds with Fidelity interest me. I am 10 years away from retirement. ..need to make some cash but am conservative. No interest in managing anything on my own, as I am no pro at investing.

It recent came to our attention that certain family members are in the process of selling land without our knowledge. We were told that the individual planning buying the land, could get an injunction to purchase the land, without our agreement. Is this true? They already obtained one signature from someone in the nursing home. We are not sure if that person actually signed.

I deposited a cashiers check at 1:00pm. at the bank branch ATM machine where I have an account. It took longer than 24 hours for them to even post the cashiers check to my savings account and then stated it wont be cleared for my use until an additional 18 hours from the 24 hours passes. Given this is a cashier's check, how could they legally hold up that money for almost two days? My account is in good standing.

Nothing illegal or immoral, I just need a way to make fast cash to pay big bills. If you have a helpful suggestion please respond, if you don't have a helpful responce, then please don't answer at all.

To clear up the obvious, I have a job. So please, leave that suggestion out.
