I know the answer should be "Absolutely Not" but here's why I ask. I currently rent a 2 bedroom apartment for myself, my wife, and my 2 boys (9 & 5 in age) in CA. The kids are getting to the age that they need more space. Renting a 3 bedroom apartment in the area where we currently live will cost an additional $250-$350 a month bringing our rent to $2200+. Rent continues to rise at a rate greater than my annual work raise, among other expenses, making saving money difficult. If I took $100K+from the 401K I wouldn't have to pay any early withdrawal penalty since the withdrawal is for a first-time home purchase. Yes, 20% is held for taxes. I am 34 and the company I work for matches contributions. I can grow the 401K with ease by the time I plan to retire. With a FIXED (not exotic) house payment, I'll be able to contribute at a greater percentage in future years. I need the large down payment to achieve an affordable mortgage. Advice, NOT SOLICITATIONS FOR BUSINESS, is appreciated.

I helped my parents refinance their home a few years ago, and now I want to buy my own place. Will I still qualify for a first time home loan?

My husband & I separated in March of 2006; he is filing “married filing separately.” He’s asked that I allow him to claim my daughter from a previous marriage as a dependent on his taxes being he has claimed her the past 8 years and is one of his exemptions. (For withholding purposes.)


I am filing “head of household.” I have a son from a previous marriage who is a full-time college student and I claim him as my dependent. (I have prepared my taxes through TaxCut and going through the steps, since he is under 24 and a full time student he would qualify as my dependent under filing “head of household”. My total income for 2006 is $6515.00.)


(What I am asking is, there is nothing wrong with allowing my soon to be ex to claim my daughter from a previous marriage, so he does not get screwed over on his taxes, since he has been claiming her as an exemption. It doesn't affect my refund much by not claiming her myself, but will make a difference of him owing or getting a refund.

I am thinking of starting to sell my homemade baked goods at the local Farmers Market in my small town. Everyone always enjoys my baked goods and I often get requests from friends and family. I have a 7 month old baby, so I thought this might be a good way to make some extra money from home, doing something I enjoy.
I know that I will make banana bread, but I am not sure what else might go over good. The only thing I am not so hot at making is pies, other than that, I can make it well. I also am thinking to go with organic ingredients, they seem to be gaining in popularity. I would really apreciate any advice, tips, and maybe some words from someone who has experience in this field. Thank you.

I am looking for a new job that pays $60,000 a year at least. BUT I don't want to do office work, and all the jobs on Monster.com, careerbuilder.com, etc are bullshit boring lame *** jobs.

I have a college degree but no real trade skills like auto repair or computer engineering to get a job that pays $60,000.

Only jobs that seem to pay that much for someone with no real trade skills is SALES...yuck. I know that I'm basically ******, but does anyone have any advice on something fun I could do that I may enjoy that pays well or do I need to just go back to school (at age 34...that sounds crappy)?

I am £2000 overdrawn with the bank....on top of that i owe £1000 on my credit card to nationwide and £1000 to Halifax one credit card (its new so i have the interest free period). I am wondering the best way to clear this? Is it better to carry on with my credit card payments or is it better to get a loan and just consolidate my debts? I see asda are doing a loan at 5.5% would this work out better monetary wise to pay this loan off over a period than an overdraft and two credit cards? what loans would be good?
