Assume a healthy male of sixty years with education but really down on luck. Food, medicine, utilities, shelter are all in jeopardy and no programs seem to address these needs without a child involved. Age discrimination in hiring is just as ugly as any other discrimination!

A friend of mine is about to launch a new website that's gonna be fantabulous. Problem is, he works full-time at a job he hates which is taking up alot of free time that could be spent working on his website. So, other than the lifestyle change (being frugal), and the fact that he is a VITAL asset to this company, can you think of any other reasons why he should stay at this job?

recently my daughter (16) and i started working at boston market. we have only been there for about a week. my daughter worked from 9 am-4 pm on thanksgiving (which is the busiest day of the year) without a break the entire day. the last 1/2 hour of her shift the manager pulled her to the side and said she had offended all her co-workers, and customers with her attitude and said if this happen again she will be gone. my daughter came home crying. so i called and spoke to the manager. which told my she what had happened. so i asked her if she had given her a break and she said no the law states that minors get a break after working 8 hours. so i did some research and found out minors are to have a break at 5 hours. i took the document up there on friday night and left it for her. on sunday the manager called me and stated she would not put me on the schedule until i came in (on my own time) and spoke to her face to face. i told her not without finding out what it was pertaining to.

trying to establish good credit is hard when no one will give you a credit card.I have one secured card I use with perfect payment history and no other open accounts. I have paid off all past collections on my report and scores are low to mid 500's. I cannot get approved for a credit card anywhere! Any ideas?

One of my friends has a Tiger Bond and she recieved a letter telling her that she will have to cash out the bond this year or the money's will be given to the government. Is this legal? I'm an accounting student so I don't know to much about bonds other than accounting for them, but this seems really odd and perhaps illegal.

I'm an accounting student and I was thinking about this the other day and our text does not cover this. Do you have to report insurance money as taxable? That is if you are in an auto accident and your insurance company sends you a check do you have to report that in income or some other area, or is it exempt? My other question is if you take the insurance money's recieved and loan it to someone and they cannot pay you back can you still claim for a nonbuisness bad debt deduction and deduct the 3,000 a year until it is absorbed?

I work 2 jobs, approximately 60 hours per week. My wife also works full time but in a salaried position about the same amount of hours. We were both raked over the coals in our previous marriages and are both still paying the costs there. Needless to say niether of us have great credit scores and are trying to buy the home she grew up in. We keep getting mortgage companies that promise they can close only to be let down yet again in the end. The owner of the property is on our tails to get a deal done and I fear we may lose the home. We have already given him $18,000 and now we have just learned that he tricked us with fine print that the money is not refundable if we do not buy!! HELP!!!!!!!!!!!

I am about $10,000 in debt, both credit cards and medical bills. I think I have a total of about 6 or 7 credit cards. I am a college student who makes less than $2,500 a year. It's really hard for me to find a job and the job I have is just a work study job on campus. I have collection companies threatening to sue me for my debts. I am currently paying a collection company but there's no way I can pay them all. I only make like $250 a month and I send pretty much all of that off to bills. What will happen if I don't pay these creditors and their collectors? What should I do?

I will appreciate any advice. I am very desperate for help!

A relative came and stayed at our home for a few days. They had access to our home when we were at work and so they could have easily gotten all of our information. Now I find that they have stolen from other relatives and committed identity theft in the past! Is there anything we can do to protect ourselves from accounts being opened or loans made in our name?
