Business & Finance - 31 December 2006

I have two car loans, each at about 6%, each maturing in 2011. For the past several months, I've been paying a couple hundred dollars extra of the principal on each loan every month, thinking that I'll save on interest in the long run. But I'm not sure this is really a good idea. Would I be better off putting that extra money into some sort of investment vehicle? If I trade in one or both of the cars for new vehicle(s) before they're paid off, will I have derived any benefit whatsoever from paying down the principal as I've been doing?

We never made an arrangment on paper, just verbal no one witnessed or anything, it was just me & her. The arrangment was she was silent partner who put most of the money up, but it ended up with, her trying to run the show & we both had equal amounts of money invested. She wants to go it alone but she has some of our stock & cash in her possesion & is refusing to give it back & share it out properly, so when I include it into my books do I total her stock value as our 'selling value' or our ' cost value'?

Are you an I.T. contractor? Can you explain whether you think setting up your own company or working under an 'umbrella' company is best?
What is the name/website of a good 'umbrella' company that you personally have used and what are it's advantages?

Are you an accountant? What thoughts do you have on this matter ?

[for information only, examples of umbrella companies are atlantic-umbrella.com, psccs.com, bbuffalo.com etc.)

Thanks in advance !

I typically work between 45 and 50 hours per week. My boss (who is very reasonable and fair) has told me that she would like to give me a raise and move me from hourly to salary. This makes sense, since I am the only manager at my company who is not paid a salary, and paying someone overtime every week doesn't make sense for the company.

Does anyone have any tips on writing a contract? How much of a raise should I ask for? Is 10% reasonable for dong the same job (although everyne agrees I am much underpaid)? Should I specify vacation time? Can I include yearly raises? If so, how much? Should it be a range (i.e. 3-8%, depending on performance)? Any help would be really appreciated.

the corporation was in my name only. And how do I request information that would help me in my upcoming divorce? He also forged my name for a partial surrender of funds on my life insurance. I recently found out that he has not paid personal income taxes since 1993. I'm afraid I've been set up.

It's the end section of the CV when you talk about your hobbies and interests. I don't know how to word it to make it sound professional. I would really appreciate your help; examples would be great.

Thanks.
