I was recently fired from my job because I wore a pair of pants to work instead of a skirt. There is no dress code at my job but my boss and personally whispered in my ear that he prefers to see my "pretty legs in a skirt".

And to add insult to inury not only did he fire me he also beat me repeadly with his personal collection of whips and chains . Is there anyone that I can report this to? I dont think that it is fair that I get fired just because I didn't feel like wearing a skirt. This is my first job and I really need the money. Thanks

I'm at the beginning of my career and i really like what I do especially when i'm working with people I llike...but my husband would like me to consider leaving my job and he's tryign to convince me a million ways why working for him would be so much more beneficial to the family and myself in that I woudl be making more money, but for me money is not an issue, I don't care if I make more money or not...anyways I am having a tough time making the decision because I feel a bit pressured to leave my job when I really don't want to but then I do want to help my husband too...what would you do?

I have a degree in Business Management/Marketing, but HATE business. I went to school for teaching, but after a year I changed my mind. I also droped out of hair school. I am very artistic. I love to draw, read, write, decorate my home and make beautiful pastry. I am also very carying and nurturing. I love to help others and take care of others. I always try to put everyone before myself. I like listening to others and trying to help them with them work out problems. I am not afraid to get my hands dirty and although I know nothing about the mechanical aspects of cars, I have no problem opening up the hood and trying to find out what is going on or fixing the pipes unders the sink. I also I am 35 years old and my girls are in high school. I have been struggled financially all of my life and would like to have a job that will provide me with more financial security. I also would like a job that I will not dread every day. I get bored easily and need a job with variety.

I have a few items I'd like to sell, but I've been putting it off for months, thinking it's probably difficult to get the whole thing set up and feeling like the actual selling process is complicated too. Am I right?

I'm currently studying Entrepreneurship (management+accounting+economics) in a university in the UK and will end up getting a MA(Hons) [which is a bachelors' degree] after all the hard work. Now, after this I'd like to go to the U.S. to work in a managerial position (starting from trainee manager if nothing else).. Now, what kind of degrees do employers require in such positions? i.e. would I have to have a masters degree? And does anyone know a good website for these type of issues/whatever-you-might-describe-it-as?

Me and my husband are looking for a secluded area of the lower 48 that stays relatively cool throughout the year and has a significant amount of snowfall. A small town area of Colorado is desirable. He would like to purchase a rustic cabin for year-round living. Me, I prefer a bit of an upgrade, like indoor plumbing perhaps. But we both agree that large amounts of snowfall is a plus. We do not ski, hate skiing, just love the cold and snow.

Hi, Ive been on ebay for over a year now, and have made a good amount of money, even a powerseller. but now Im completly out of ideas of what to sell. Ive sold basically all the stuff i dont need anymore that i could think of (cameras, dvd's, videogames, consoles, computer parts,..etc) so if you were about to say any of that stuff, ive already sold all of it. Soo, if anyone knows other good items to sell, that I could possibally have around my house, please suggest.
Also, I know there are tons of wholesalers out there, which are good? which are bad? and whats the best one for me? (best meaning makeing the most money, price-cost=profit). to start out, i dont want to buy very expensive things from wholesalers, so if you could give some examples, that would be great!
thanks alot -George

My dear friend/neighbor keeps asking me this question and I'm afraid I'll give the wrong answer. I know he is in his early Sixties, owes only $58K on his home, can easily afford the payment...but he thinks he should take $58K out of his 401 and pay it off. His logic is that he will inevitably get unhealthier in his Sixties decade, so he would feel more secure owning his home. I'm thinking he will take a huge hit on his income and Uncle Sam will tax the heck out of him if he takes out $58K in one lump sum. Anyone out there have good financial wisdom I can pass along so he doesn't make a mistake? I told him to seek a financial adivsor but he won't. Thanks everyone.

My friend is losing her house due to foreclosure. She had a hard enough time telling me out of embarrassment, so I didn't want to ask alot of questions. How many months behind do you usually have to be to be foreclosed on and I am assuming if the mortgage holder cannot sell or auction the house for at least the loan pay-off, they later garnish her for their loss?
