My mother died and left us the money that she had invested.. She was living off of the interest. She was also over 72 years of age. I don't believe the money had ever been taxed.

I currently rent and am tired of "throwing my money away" every month on my crappy little apartment. I'm looking to buy my first home and am trying to weigh all of my options. I have great credit and do not have any debts whatsoever (no car payment, credit card bills, etc), however I only make around $40k annually.

I've looked at regular condos and townhouses, but they all seem out of my price range at the moment. A decent one in my area sells for at least $200k. I've noticed that co-ops are much cheaper, but I don't know if I'm sold on the whole idea that I would own stock as opposed to an actual piece of property.

So my questions is: Is a co-op a good option for me or would you recommend that I stick with my crappy apartment a few more years, continue to save, and then try to BUY a condo/townhouse?

I purchased a recreational building lot for Cash. I'd like to avoid expensive legal fees, but want to be sure the title is properly registered to my name. Is this do-able, or a recipie for disaster? I would think on something so simple, it should be possible if a step by step detailed action plan were carefully followed to the letter?

Do you still need the other party to agree to remove it? And if so why pay Square Trade when you can just use the mutual feedback withdrawal form. The Square Trade website is vague on this.

I love commercial aviation, and i know that i would love to work in that industry as a pilot for a commercial airline. Ive wanted to do this for like 2 years, and just got accepted to a college where my major will be commercial aviation, and where i will have flying lessons and all that.
But, I am also really interested in chemistry. I love chemical formulas, and knowing what the chemical composition of things like candy, and stuff like that are, and i could also see myself working in that field. My main chemistry interests are polymers and flavors.
omigawd what should i do.. i already have the aviation thing all planed out for me... but omg chemistry...
Maybe i should take chemistry classes in college maybe as a minor while I major in aviation? or a double major? the only problem with that is the aviation program is kind already like a double major. I will have my normal work, then along with my flight school work. Then if would need to add the chemistry minor to that..

Just out of pure curiosity. In some British movies you hear them refer to so many pounds but I never know if it's a lot. So how much would a pound be in comparison to US $???

Hypothetical senario:
Let's say you inherit a huge amount of money-1,000,000. And let's say that the person who died was your grandmother-she left you everything-but made arrangements for any property, houses, or any other material items to be sold first, no matter how long it took, so it's all in cash. What kind of problems would you encounter when it comes to collecting it? I mean, let's say you want to transfer it into a bank account-would you be able to do that relatively easy? What would be the easiest way to collect the money? Again, all hypothetical-it's for a book. Any info helpful, thank you!

Does it mean when this person dies, the beneficiary will receive that much of inheritance or it is just how much this person earns and owns until now?
