My best friend's credit score is about 550, and she wants to lease a car and possibly buy a house in the future, with a score like that can she? I know that her credit was much worse, and she has been keeping up to date on her bills and is trying to bring it back up above 600. Please let me know, she asked me this morning and I wasnt sure about the answer to give her.

I got married in July. I'm putting down married joint with 0 allowances for my 2007 w-4. The IRS advises that in our financial position we should withhold an additional amount in our paychecks. I'm not so excited about giving the government a free loan that won't be paid back for 16 months. Any thoughts on this?

Would i be right in saying that a 20,000 dolar could be paid in about 2 years if i payed about 2000 amonth? And is that realistic? I mean, now i live with my parents and i have never lived alone...

I bet it's harder than i think. So, does it really take about 30 years to pay it?

I graduated in 2003 and then they started charging me, i payed 300 a month for about 2 years, and then 150 the next few months.. then now i don't pay nothing cause i'm unemployed.
But when i was paying , i wasn't seeing any reduction in the total loan amount. Cheeses, i wonder if it ever goes down

I'm in a job I like (a lot), but in which I can't get the training I need. I've seen a job advertised which I think I would enjoy and in which I WOULD get the training I need. I've sent off for an application form, but when I fill it in I'm going to need a reference from my current job.

How do I go about getting one without giving the impression that I'm unhappy in my job/ I'm disloyal/ I'm eager to leave/ I hate my workplace etc?

Ok i am 19 years old and because of illness i was unable to complete cosmetology school which was going to be paid for by student loans. since i had no choice but to quit, my federal student loans were dropped and now i have about $5000 to pay off. it has gone to a collection agency because i was without a job for seven months and i was unable to pay. i am now employed and make about a $900/month. i have an apartment, credit card bills, student loans from college, electricity bills, and food to pay for. i have tried many times to work with the collection agency and the smallest that they can make the monthly installments is $200! i cannot afford that! i can't afford a financial advisor either. whats worse is that since i can't pay they monthly installments, i am now having legal action against me and they have also attacked my credit score! i need to know if there is a way to avoid bankrupcy and somehow pay them off... please help!

I work in a department of 10 women, my boss has always favored a girl named Becca. Becca decided she needed to move 5 hours away to help with her family, so we hired another girl to take Becca's place.

The new employee was given Becca's old position, cubicle, phone number, etc.

4 months later Becca decided she wanted to come back, so my boss created a new position just for her, gave her a pay increase to help with her family problems, and gave her back her old cubicle.

The new girl was asked to move from the cubicle and was given a small desk to use in the hallway until "we could move to a new building." She stayed at the small desk for 9 months before we moved buildings.

The women (including me) in the department felt this was wrong, but they didn't say anything to our boss.

What do you think?

I did pretty well investing in MAMA and sold half of my stocks for a nice return. The other half I am holding on to in hopes that MAMA will get a second life here. Am I wasting my money or do you think it might jump again sometime in the next couple weeks?

The interest must be accumulating at a faster rate than I can pay it down, as the car loan was approximately $30,000 at a rate of 7% interest. I just checked with the bank, and after making 7 months of regular payments ($650) the balance owing is almost $33,000.

How is this possible?

If the interest on a loan accumlates at a faster rate than it is being paid down, how will it ever been paid?

Thanks...
