Business & Finance - 1 January 2007

I want to ask my boss for a raise. My salary is low compared to what's listed on salay.com for my job description. Basically I want to say to my boss, 'based on salary.com, this is what average people are earning for the same type of job that I do'. Or should I even bring up salary.com when asking for a raise?

My boyfriend and I have been tossing around the idea of moving out of Michigan due to the abysmal job situation here. We're in our early 20's, with some college but no degrees. We are smart and very hard workers (I currently work 54 hrs/wk) with our experience being in retail/customer service (we hate our jobs). We are both looking to expand our college education, but get no finanacial support from family, and are hoping another state may offer better opportunites to make that easier to do.

These are the states I've narrowed down to solely based on unemployment ratings. I would like to know peoples general impressions, especially regarding the job outlook for us, quality of life, towns we should consider...anything you can think of. These are all places neither of us have been to.

Montana, Wyoming, Virginia, Nebraska; South Dakota, New Hamsphire, Delaware, Minnesota, Maryland

Thanks in advance, and happy New Year!

I've heard of websites that list requests for loans from people that have been rated based on their credit score. Any help would be appreciated.

Every answer in credit seems to say credit cards are bad.
They can be used to get interest free money, to earn points, to defer payment so money remains invested, to improve security (sect 75 consumer credit act) + to lower payments in absolute coz some companies prefer them.
Saying credit cards loose you money is like saying all shares fall.
What is wrong with you?

I know regular mail does not get delivered tomorrow (Tuesday). But since UPS is not under the government, do they ship out? Please clarify your answer. Just don't say "yes" or "no". Thanks :)

Do you regret not going to a better college? Is it harder than it looks to make money?

My Rates were 7.5 cents/KWHr in Kansas and 15 cents/KWhr in Houston.

Houston is deregulated and you pick an electric provider. Kansas City is not (KCP&L). I thought deregulation was supposed to lower rates?? What's the deal??

New estate tax laws provide increased exemptions. How does this work with the use of the marital deduction trust prior to implementation of new tax laws in 2001?
