One of my vehicles in a minivan and I've seen advertisements for .com companies that use stickers, or magnetized signs on cars for a certain company. How do they contact individuals for advertising? How can I contract with a company to use my "boodling around town" to my advantage by being paid for their advertisement placed on my vehicle?

I have a student loan that has a repayment balance of about $1100. (No, that is NOT my only student loan-i wish :) Right now, I have enough money saved up that I can just pay that loan off altogether, however, it will put a dent in my savings and I haven't touched my savings at all. I would just love to have one less bill to worry about per month. I don't make a lot of money (so much for college) so saving a grand would take some time. So should I pay off and hurt my savings, but leave me with one less bill OR should I just continue making my monthly $50 payments?

I'm having a problem with getting a credit card in my name. Since I've graduated from high school I've had a credit card but its in mine and my dad's name. We both assumed that it would build up my credit but it turned out to not. I pay a bills in full and on time but I do not have any credit score obtained. No credit card companies will accept my application because I have no credit. They don't care that I have a full time job and a checking and savings account. Please I really can use some sound advice because I really hope to someday buy a home and it will be impossible without any credit obtained.

I dont know much about tax in america, but was watching a travel programme, where the presenter visited a shop where rich people donated precous items worth thousands of dollars to get a tax writeoff.

Surely the tax return will not be as much as the item donated?
So what am I missing?

I have inherited around 8,500 in cash which will be coming through shortly (probably this week) also a house but there is a charge on the house for a third share so i will be left with around 50k so about 55k once i have had a couple of treats. I have 10k debt so need to pay that off. My dad owns a few houses ad has some with mortgages of around 50k so he has offered to sell me one but hime keep an interest in the property e.g if i buy one for 50k but its worth 100k we would own the house 50-50, good idea but I'm not really very settled at the moment and am thinking about a career change because i'm a receptionist on£6.25 an hour and bored out of my mind. please help.
Thanks in advance

I want to send in articles or pictures to magazines/newspapers, but I'm not sure how to go about this. Should I search around for magazines that want specific pictures or stories, or just submit them to random magazines ?

should I go dressed up formally? Or is it okay to wear jeans and a sweatshirt? Note this is just to go pick up a form. What about when I go back to give them the filled-out form and resume... what should I wear?
I know, obviously, that for the interview (IF I get called ;) ) I have to wear office clothes...

So..Is there a web site tell you which companies are going public in the next few months/years/whatever? I know when Google was going to go public, they made a big deal about it a few weeks/months before hand. I don't own any stocks right now, but I may one of these days. Just want to see what new companies are available sooner or later.

I received a Head of Household Audit Letter which basically is asking if I used the head of household filing status correctly. Never in my life have I received one of these letters but was wondering if I received it because someone else in my house used the same address as me when they filed their taxes and filed head of household as well. If so, what will the outcome be? The person who filed had no business using my address for their taxes much less filing for head of household. Any info. would be helpful.
