If you had $200k to invest, what would you do with it? would you hire a financial advisor or do your own research to buy stocks/funds/real estate etc. Is it worth to hire a financial advisor for this kind of money.

Here's the situation. I worked for a retail electronics store for a year and a half. I had left this past January when my husband was deployed to Afghanistan and became a full time student. Anyway... out of the blue this company called yesterday to see if I could come back as a seasonal employee. I agreed to an interview tomorrow. What should I wear? Should I wear a suit as though I'm applying for the job the first time or something more casual such as black pants and a blouse? I know the people I am interviewing with and have become friends with a couple of them in my time away from the company. It's just an odd situation since I hadn't thought about going back until the phone call.

Target charges a 10% restocking fee. Rip Off....

So you spend $100, returning it only gets you back $90.

As far as I'm concerned, those stores can go to h_ll, I will never shop for Christmas presents there.
Returns are part of what is Christmas has been all about.

These stores are just as bad as banks, service fees for everything, those dollars then go to buying lobbyists to influence legislation to better serve banks / stores and deepen there pockets. The consumer, YOU AND ME, get shafted by having less money in our pockets.

My brother has borrowed a lot of money over a few years, but as a family we do not know what his financial standings are. We do know that they're not good, because he's a terrible liar, and won't tell us the truth. He asked me to fix his computer last month, having left some open web pages on declaring bankrupcy (and a few other hair-raising things in the history). Needless to say, we're concerned, but I'm also concerned for us. Will what he does concerning money ever affect the family name, or just him? My mother has had an excellent credit history over 15 years, but recently she discovered that her credit limit has dropped to £0. She has contacted the bank about this (as she was not informed), but we think it could be related to my brother as they both use the same bank.

Answers and advice would be appreciated.

I used two credit cards which have now decided because I was late on one, that they both would increase my rate to 30%. My balances are extremely high, and I do not know what to do. I have only charged a total of maybe $15,000 but because of the interest I now owe over $30,000 in only two years!!! I dont know what to do because I work on commission and I can only pay the minimums. If I got another job, I would not make enough to pay the minimums plus rent, bills etc. Does anyone know any ideas on how to get a loan to pay off the cards. I wouldnt even mind a loan for 15% if it got me out of the credit card mess. I feel like suing the card companies, I dont think they should be allowed to charge you more then I charged on the card. At this rate, I will be in debt $40,000 by April. What can I do? I dont want to do a Debt Reduction company, because I dont want to hurt my credit score. Even though I made on time payments, my finance charges are higher and go over the limit!
