Business & Finance - 29 November 2006

I read that the key to wealth is the ability to turn earned income or money you work for into passive income, incremental money you receive each month or on some recurring basis that you dont work for. Though that sounds great in theory how does it work in practice? I know rental income is a form of passive income. Can anyone think of other ways to make money that is not tied to your labor?

I spent 4 years working on a degree in computer science but I ultimately dropped out. Other than that, I have no college degree. Should I mention this college experience on my resume even though it was never completed? If so, how do I word this?

I had the card because my mother had ask me to do business for her when she couldn't and/or didn't fell up to it. She died last year and when I enformed the credit card company, they told me to send them proof, which I did immediately. They called me and wanted me to pay the balance. I refused. They now have it on my cedit report. Am I by law forced to pay this? If not, how can I get them to take it off my record?

Long story short, I work for a new startup small business, that markets new engines and transmissions, well marketed as if we built them. We do not. In fact I've never even seen an actual engine I've sold. Well things aren't working out the best with the bosses. I do not want to quit, that's just not me. My question is no where in my employee handbook does it say anything about company information being private, i triple checked. If something does happen like they fire me, can I be sued for exposing internal company secrets to their competitors? Obviously most intelligent business owners would be the first thing in their handbook, but its no where to be seen.

We the part service class (Salaried employees) in India are sincerely paying huge Income taxe on hard earned money.Looking at high cost of living and falling interest rates the present personal taxation policy is unjustifiable.Let every one of us send represntation to Finance Minister of India to consider to increase the tax slab upto Rs.5 lacs PA without any Income tax imposition.Let GOI collect more money from business tycoons like Ambanis,TATAS,Modies , etc.Let GOI plug the holes to prevent the drain of Taxes in other avenues.We need united action to make this to happen for benefit of all salaried class community in India.Let us act fast and make it success.

My brother's work put them into about 7 teams which were just picked randomly. There are about 70 people that work there. Today 5 teams got taken into the office and told that there roles were changing, nothing that challenging, something that my brother would be keen to do. And they would be getting a £4000 pay increase. So 50 out of 70 people in an Office received this while 20 did not. My brother actually used to be in one of the Teams thats roles were changed. What would you do?

I am fairly new to selling on E-Bay although I have bought on it loads of times. I sold an item on Monday and have heard nothing from the buyer yet wrt payment. I know that if I buy, I pay straightaway but was wondering when would be the right time to drop them an e-mail. I have looked at their feedback and everything seems ok so I don't want them to think I am just being impatient. Can anyone give me an idea when to send a gentle 'reminder'?Thanks.

I know that this is a repeat question, but the answers are not too clear. I am considering a move to Manhattan from Philly, and I have the following unanswered questions: -Knowingly, rent is high. With that said, where would a single 30 y/o want to live that is close to a park (dog walking) and has a decent night life? -I am not opposed to live in the boroughs, and it appears that Queens or Brooklyn would be an option. Where would you advise living (using the same criteria above)? -What is considered "average rent" in the boroughs? There are many listings in the classifieds, but it is hard to judge what is considered a bargain. I am looking for a 1 bdrm, and am willing to spend around $2000/mth. I find many apts in the range, but dont know what neighborhoods would be ok. -Broker fee, no broker fee, flex, coop--I'm confused. -Simply put, if you could do it again, what kind of general advise can you give to another transplant to the area?

Thanks!
