Business & Finance - 30 December 2006

I am 5 months away from earning my bachelors degree, and I have an Associates degree. why is it that there are people at my company with waay better jobs (and my age--I'm 23) who only have a high school diploma? I know it sounds like I am whining, but I am sick of this crap. I work full time, monday through friday, and go to school at night for my Bachelors full time, and have a 3.9 GPA. Everyone always says if you work hard, you will make it, but I see no evidence of this. I don't have a chip on my shoulder. but could it just be because these counterparts with the HS diploma are white, and I'm black? I hate to think like this, and hate when people complain about this type of thing, but I am starting to think that it is true. I have to work twice as hard to get half as far. It seems so many people just get things handed to them on a silver platter. know, I know... Life isn't fair, but this is ridiculous. I don't see how I am ever going to be able to own a home at this rate.

I used to live in a company flat, I was bought out of the property, but when i moved out, nobody took the key back. The property is still empty.
I read on another site, I cant remember what the name of it is, that you can legally move in the property and take it over as yours. Is this true and what are the legal implications?

I've advertised for hurricane evacuees to buy these homes in Texas, offered by HUD at reduced cost, but no luck in actually finding someone who wants one, and qualifies. Have you had any luck in this? How?

Husband and I are driving 3 hours away to look at some homes soon and the realtor wants us to ride with herin her car. The rpoblem is-We have done this before and we cant really tell how we really feel about the home with the realtor right there b/c it may be kinda rude. Just wondering if it is rude to tell him we prefer to go in our own vehicle

I have been taking care of my parents for the past 15 years, before they got too sick, they transfered the deed in my name and I assumed their payments. Since then I have refinanced once and made improvements to the home and have lived here with my spouse and kids. Unfoutunatly, my father has passed and my mother is on her way, should I be worried that my siblings will take this home from me?

If I wanted to value a small business what is the best method ?
I am not a finance expert so a simple explanation would be appreciated. The business I am looking at is based in the UK, has been running for 10 years and has an average turnover of £500,000. Best year was £1,000,000, Worst was £350,000.
No fixed assets other than office equipment and one vehicle. However a very desirable client list.

Thanks
