I have never had a credit card, mortgage or car loan. I have never filed bankruptcy. I have looked at my credit report and the majority of problems are medical bills. I also have some unpaid utility bills on there. I cannot even get a cell phone without a $300 deposit. Why do these things make my credit score terrible? I though CC's and bankruptcies were the major problems. Can anyone explain?

We have a faucet, but the water is yellow, and I refuse to drink it. The company I work for refuses to pay for a company to bring in a water cooler for us to have drinking water. I work in Maine. Isn't there a law that requires them to do so? Do you know where I can find this information?

I get out of school at 4:00 p.m. and I have an interview at the same time at a fast food place. The place is just 5 minutes walking from my school, but I am still worried. What should I do? And if you have any tips on how I should dress, it would be appreciated.

There were lots of (supposed) reasons why the price of oil recently rose to record levels -- hurricane season approaching, instability in the Middle East, disruptions with the Alaskan supply, etc, etc.

However, in the recent days, the price of oil has suddenly dropped 25%-30%. What happened to generate that large price change? What are the explainable causes?

I have 4 kids and a wife. We spend $400 a week on groceries. One family member does Atkins and one does Weight Watchers and the rest eat pretty much what they want. We cut coupons which only results in us saving about $6 to $10 a week. I would like to take $1000 of this $1600 to $2000 a month that we spend on food and invest in a mutual fund or something. I don't want investment advise, I want shopping advise. My parents live in Michigan. When we shop there in a grocery store, I can take each item and place it on the belt and count 2,4,6,8.... and the total I come up with will be roughly my grocery total. In other words, the average price of a grocery item is $2. In Delaware, where I live, I have to use 5,10,15,20... to get the same estimated total. Moving is not an option. We've tried the Save-A-Lot stores and they sell mostly junk food and that is hard to do with the diets. We've tried BJs but the bigger items just mean the two boys not on diets, just eat more. Any ideas?

My boss at work has taken to firing a plastic guns at me. I told him to stop it so he threw a ball at my head. Realising that this didn’t work, I told the director of the company that I find it hard to work with someone with violent tendencies. My boss then told me if I ever told on him again he would make my working life hell. What should I do?

In this day and age, where machines are used rather than people to screw tops on bottles etc, what sort of things do people doing factory work have to do? Is there still lots of repetitive manual labour involved or is that no longer the case?

I am interested in knowing how a massage therapist's salary working in a up-market spa (a day spa or hotel resort spa) is paid. I know that in the UK it is a combination of basic hourly pay, commision on sales and gratuity. I would like to know if it is the same in the USA. I am also aware that some employment in the USA is entirely commision based like a car dealership service advisor but in the UK this job is salary and commision. Thanx.
