Business & Finance - 9 November 2006

I'm 21 with a few credit cards that total around $4,000.00. Most of them I used for things like wisdom teeth extraction, car repairs, etc. I have good credit, but am having a hard time trying to pay them off. I've been paying the minimum's on time, but am not getting anywhere. Has anyone ever had this problem and what should I do? Continue to pay the minimums? (I've already cut the cards up so I can't use them.) Or should I contact a credit consolidator? Does that look bad on my credit? Are they reputible? Please help!

- I looked at my file it had stuff like my desk is scratched - i missed a page in a report - this is done only for my file - every little clerical error is in there! If I'm doing such a poor job, why don't they just fire me, or bring it to my attention - or not give me bonuses - I am confused! - any input would be helpful

This has been bugging me for a long time! They have the same color scheme, are both named after a guy (not the same guy like Wall Mart and Sam's Club...but still), and are most always next to eachother. Also, Wall Mart doesn't sponser a car in NASCAR, and Lowe's does, but Wall-Mart always has NASCAR commericals in the store...

He has worked at my shop for 2 years now and has signed a lease aggreement that states he is responsible for his own taxes, his only obligation to me is to pay his weekly chair rent. He has in own key to the shop and comes and goes when he pleases I do not boss him or any of my barbers around by any means, there on there own.

Am I in any danger of paying any of his taxes even though he is a independent contractor?

I am a fully certified Arborist N.P.T.C and R.F.S cert Arb working for a housing company. my collegue and I undertatke all aspects of tree work, climbing, felling etc and do surveys, reports, hazard evaluations, diagnos pest and disease, common and statute law in relation to trees ie tree preservation orders (TPO). We are the only two in the company with these qualifications. We also have a workforce of joiners, plumbers, bricklayers. and all these trades carry out basic repairs to the properties. My collegue and I are as qualified as the other trades but in are own trade. Now they earn £6000 more than we do and do less work, do you feel that we have a case for pay discrimination?

I have just finished a school and was picked by a scout to go to L.A to a national convention to meet with agents from all over the world. I know for a fact that I do want to pursue acting, so this is my big shot but I do not have the money for it.
We were told that we should get sponsors, because 75% of people who go do.
I'm just wondering how to start off. I mean who is good to ask and who is not? I wrote a nice formal letter and I have all the paper work along with a tax number and everything. Anyone who donates over $100 will get major exposure in a directory that everyone who ettends will receive, so MAJOR exposure!

I just need help getting started. I mean I can't go to just ANYONE and ask them. So does anyone have any advice?

Thank you so much.

in a business letter, the address that is at the very top and centred...is that the person you're sending the letter to, or the person sending the letter?

I am wanting to return to work and have contacted several local, state and federal agencies for assitance in obtaining employment.
Having a disability, and retuning to the work force after a 10 year absence creates some unsual circumstances most job seekers don't have to face.
After my contact with these government agencies I was left with little or no assitance in finding a "career" oreintated position. I even contacted the "ticket-to-work" program that is endorsed by the Social Security Administration itself. I was told that very few disabled citizens looking to return to work are offered more than minimum wages positions. I have a house payment and other expenses and minimum wage won't support that. I'm not asking for a $50K salary, but one that I can pay my bills with.
Any suggestions?

It's a smaller bar... maybe 50-60 customers in a night.
Why should I ask for that amount?

I'd like to buy stocks the Buffet way--by looking at a company's performance over the past 10 years to determine if it's got a competitive advantage and has consistent earnings and then buying low. I just can't find the right website yet. Yahoo and MSN offer just P/E, EPS, etc dating back 1 year or just a few years back.
Is there a website that will give me those numbers going back 10 years? That would help me determine if it has consistent earnings. It doesn't have to be a free service but if it's a free site, that would be even better. Thanks.

Thank you all so much for your responses. I will tell them by the end of this month, will give two months notice, enough time to replace me. Am not sure what reason am going to give. I know I should tell the truth, but I dont feel comfortable doing so. But yeah hours are crazy and top of that I bring work home. Today I was there from 7:30 am to 5:00pm, thats like 9.5 hours and still brought a few things to do at home. I didnt know job was going to ask me to put all these hours, I mean they say 8 hours to work and one hour lunch, but really I barely get a chance to take 10 mints lunch.

Neway, thank you so much for all your comments, its really helped me get my head cleared up and wont make me feel as bad quiting, they think am going to be there forever, because other people in the company been there for years, they all old.

Take care.
