Business & Finance - 14 November 2006

I started a job in electronics retail in late Septmber. The problem was that I was unable to get a job at any of the places I wanted to work, so I thought i'd take this as a last resort.

The thing is that I really badly want a job in publishing, and in the new year I hope to look for one. My question is when is it acceptable to quit this current job?

Obviously this job required training and people looking out for me when I started, and I appreciate that. I also like everyone I work with. The thing I want to do is time my leaving to an extent that its not a slap in the face for them.

I don't want to leave too soon because it will make me look/feel ungrateful after they put their trust in hiring me. But then again its not making me happy, and the wages are poor and I have a right to find a better job.

When do you think I should quit. At the moment I reckon mid/late January (i'll have been there 4 months) because its not leaving the company in the lurch (christmas is over by then).

to live off interest, suppose retirement.acct earns 7.5% interest compounded monthly for 30 years, and upon retirement the ending balance rolls into a simple interest earning 6%. The simple interest acct must earn $12,000/year to be sufficient to live off of. How much do I need to invest in the acct today to achieve this goal? (use simple interest formula first)

Not sure this formula would work, but can't figure it out:
A=P(1+r/n)^nt (^ = exponent)

What specifically does the company you work for, and your supervisor do to make your work enjoyable? If you don't like your job, or boss, then why, and what would you like to see changed?

Describe your ideal working situation. Besides more money, what would you look for in a new job? What would an employer need to do to keep you happy if you were going to leave.

Im a 44 yr old single mom raising a 15 yr old daughter. i make 8 dollars an hour and struggling every month. i dont own anything, but i HAD good credit. My 22 year old son asked me if I could co sign a loan for him for a car. He left me when he was 13 yrs old to go live with his dad and I never saw him much and was so hurt over that, I wanted to do it for him. After lots of consideration, i decided no. when I called him to tell him, I found out he already signed my name illegally. When I called the car company and the loan office, the sale had already gone thru, the dealer had already got his commision, and the only way out was to press charges legally againts my son. I couldnt do it. Now i have $15,000 on my credit report because he hasnt paid and wont call me back. I have no one to turn to and am all alone in this. They threatened to garnish my 8 bucks an hour. this is the most unfairest thing thats ever happened to me. is there anything I can do besides putting him in jail?

Recently my PNC Bank checking account was overdrawn for 1 business day then a deposit I made cleared and it was ok again. I have never been overdrawn before. One check and one Visa check card transaction made it overdrawn, so the bank charged $31 for each item, totalling $62.

I plan to go talk to someone at the bank to see if they can erase the fees. What is my best approach to take with them?

For the record, I know that fees are the natural consequences of being overdrawn, I am not disputing that here. It know it's my own fault, but I'd still like to avoid $62.00 in fees -- that's a lot of money.

I had a debt 20 years ago that was not paid and I get a call this current year asking to pay the loan. Now I need to know that after 7 years one is not liable to pay the bill. Then who are these people that calls you up harassing you about an old bill. They will call you and then hang up leaving you the option to call them back. They get smart with you and make you angry. These people say they are a collection agency but could be someone tapping into your credit report and illegal trying to get your money. Who do you report them too and what can I do about this situation?I do not mind paying the bill I just don't know who I am dealing with. The man told me a owned debt is never cleared. Help me out here.

I have been having flu-like symptoms for the past two weeks and come to find out, there was carbon monoxide throughout my apartment building due to a faulty furnace. What rights do I have in the State of Michigan? The landlord is a very nasty, rude, old man who has his maintenance staff knock on your door for rent money.

My manager is the owner and I find that he wants to be involved in every minor detail and decision which means that its difficult for me to get things done as I hardly see him.

Anyone else in a similiar position or have any advice on how to manage upwards.

When you apply for an unsecured personal loan, do they tend to contact your employer? I would rather my colleagues not know my financial situation thats all! I have previously had one from my own bank and they did not contact my employer.

Also anyone know where the cheapest rate can be found at the moment? And possibly any with three months deferred payments.

Thank you very much.
