When the U.S. Currency was backed by gold, you knew there was something there supporting our monetary system. Now that American money is not backed by gold, how do we keep things balanced? How do we know money is worth anything besides just its weight in paper? What's to keep it from just collapsing? Thanks!

I don't have any credit at all. I never have. I've never had a credit card, don't owe anyone a dime. I've thought it was a good idea to pay for a lot of things in cash so I wouldn't get into debt. But now it would be handy to have one and pay it off - to have some credit. I've applied for many, many cards and even tried through my bank and been turned down. Not because I have bad credit - but because I have none. I rent my own apartment and have an open account with a cell phone carrier. I paid for my car in full- upfront - so that's out. Any suggestions?

My friend is about to take a job where they offered to pay her under the table. However, on the employment application, she remembered having given this employer her social security number.

My question is, since Susan's employer is paying her under the table, then please tell me why on earth did they need her social security number????

Does this mean they are planning on claiming her? Sh*t!!! if it DOES mean that, then could she get it big trouble?

I had been paying steady for two years. I missed 4 payments due to other financial obligations. I had just moved to a new place and it took some time to get settled in, only to move again within 4 months. I received note that they were going to repo my truck in two weeks unless I payes $x,xxx. I came up with $200 less than what I owed them and called them a few days before doomsday. They said they needed the full amount and 3 days later, they took my truck, added another $500 for tow/repo fines, and told me that needed to be payed within so many days before they shipped my truck form TN to OH for auction. Now they want over $5k for the truck, and I'm left with nothing. What are my options in this matter?Bancruptcy? Thanks for any intelligent advice.

My wife owes 6000 in hospital bills. She has no job (personal reasons) so therefore no insurance. I recieve social security and we live off of very little. Sometimes not enough for food and gas throughout the month without help. Well the hospital recently turned the bill over to a debt collection agency. They called and talked to me because my wife wasnt there and said somethin if we dont make a difinitave payment plan or something it will end up in justice court or somesuch. What can they do we dont have money to pay anything? Cant take blood from a turnip. Should i just change the number and hope they dont call?
