I see all those sites and crap for a free credit report but it never actually ends up free...
I ended up getting screwed and stuff got opened in my name when I turned 18, cause I have such a common name or something... either way it was pretty bad for awhile and I havent checked it in about 2 years and wanted to know a cheap or decent way to go about getting it checked just to see where Im at...
So maybe I can apply for a credit card, or get a cell phone in my name, without it costing $500 up front, etc...

I lost my job last week and I am looking for a business to run from my home office. I like sales and marketing. I am not interested in MLM opportunities because what I have read here they are all scams and I don't think I would feel comfortable selling over priced products.

My paraents were in AMWAY in the late 70's and early 80's and as a kid, I watched them loose most of their friends and lost touch with family members because of the hope they put in the soap. Eventually, the lost of the people around them affected their marriage and they got divorced.

I am looking for something I can feel good about and not deceive a person into something that is not real. Any ideas?

My husband and his sibling own a home together. If something happens to him, his half of the deed reverts to her, vica versa. My name is NOT on the deed. They have owned the home for 4 years, he and I have been married 21 years and we live together in the home he and his sister own. I am a disabled senior and if he were to pass before me, I know for a fact that I would be put out of the home. I need to obtain documentation that if he precedes her in death that his share of the home goes to me, his wife. He and I also have 4 children.

How does a treasury bond work? How do you maximize your profit from it? What bonds are the best to have? How long should a person keep them for? Please be as specific as possible. Thanks

We know that P/E should only really be used to compare companies within the same industry or to look at a company's earnings over time, but why would 2 similar companies (take just e.g Coke and Pepsi) who are by all means rivals, and share "similar" levels of success have such different P/E ratios? If Pepsi's P/E ratio was way higher then Coke's what would this mean?

How can we help a friend pay his back taxes, before he gets married and brings his spouse down with him. He acts like it is not a big deal, but he hasn't paid his freaking taxes!! I don't even know where to tell him to start! Can anyone help.

I have good to great credit, but my current card has me at 28% interest. Probably because I was careless about paying on time years ago, but there have been no lates on my credit report for the past 4 years. I pay it off completely within the 25 days 99% of the time, but last month I couldn't and I got burned. I asked them if a lower rate was available, they told me no.

So I'm definitely going to close this one out at the end of the month and look for another one. I really only use it to shop online (I'd rather use my debit card day to day), or for a couple of things like car insurance that I have to tie to a credit card. I'm looking for a low interest, no annual fee, gold card that covers car rentals and would like some type of awards program but can live without that. Thanks for any advice.

The manager from my old job was rude, grumpy, takes people quitting personally. It's hard to find a job, I think because she's giving me a bad reference. Could this be it? I've never been fired from a job before, nor was I a delinquent employee.

If I have 1,000 shares of non-qualified stock options with exercise price at $15. When I exercised them the price of the stock was at $35. I did not sell right away and hold on to them for a few months. Unfortunately the stock keeps falling and I finally sold at $25. Is it true that I have to pay tax on gain base on the stock price when I first exercised the options (i.e. $35) and not the actual sales price (i.e. $25)?
