How does lets say Tom(myspace) make money from myspace? Because myspace is a free site, you dont have to pay to use the website. SO how do those website owners make thier money?

My husband and I are trying to build a comfortable nest egg for the purchase of a home, vacation, major emergency, etc.

Right now, the bill are paid and there's a bit left over for lesiure money each month. We have been trying to put $500 aside (combined) each month. I feel like I have already cut everything we can to save, but if anyone has something to add, we appreciate it.
*Shop for only sale items, use coupons, buy store brands
*Decrease withholding so tax payments even out
*Take side jobs when possible
*Make coffee/tea instead of buying

Anything you can add is great....thank you

I was the winning bidder on a home through an auction and the contract which I signed has an inconsistency.
Due to my circumstances changing I am considering walking away from the deal, but want to figure out my liability.
One the first page of the contract at the top it states
"See attached addendum C Terms & Conditions of Sale" BUT right under that in the General Terms & Conditions section there is a sentence that states:
"If payment of the balance of the purchase price does not take place within the specified period the deposit will be forfeited and the property will be resold at the risk and expense of the defaulting purchaser"
YET IN ADDENDUM C UNDER THE DEFAULT SECTION it says
"In the event the purchaser fails to close on or before the closing date, the Deposit may be retained by the Sellers as liquidated damages. The Sellers are not required to accept any back-up bid nor are they obligated to negotiate with any back-up bidder."
Which one is correct?

I bought a townhouse 1 year ago and I've been living with my only brother. We pay the mortage 50:50 but only my name is on the title. When filing 2006 tax returns, can we both deduct the mortage interests?

Also, how do I add my brother's name to the title?

For 16 years, I've been working as a Dept. Manager for a supermarket, and for 11 years I've been leaving work at 12 PM on Fridays, due to a personal matter. Last July, I was transferred to a different store, where the store manager told me that he does not want me to, and will not let me leave early on Fridays anymore. He said that I am a full time employee, and need to work anytime the business needs me. (Oh. did I mentioned I work every Saturday, Sundays, and holidays whatever the hours they schedule?)

As an immediate reaction I decided that I would look for another job, and that I would be calling in everytime they scheduled me on Friday afternoons. Is it reasonable?

Am I entitled to choose which day of the week I want off? Can Shaw's (Ooops, I named it, didn't I?) write me up for not wanting to work Friday PMs? If they write me up, is it Ok if don't sign the warning form? Do I have arguments to sue the company in case they fire me?

I'm checking out the offers to work at home and some seem too real to believe. They ask for alittle money up front. Has anyone actually done this? I'm afraid to give my credit card. They also offer no phone number which makes me suspicious. Or any suggestions for me? I want to stay home for my kids but need money.

I was thinking about getting a job during the summer. I'm not sure where yet, but I was wondering if I was able to get one at the age I'm at. I want to try to get one in June, when I'm still 14, but I'll be turning 15 in August. Will I still be able to get a job at that age and could anyone give me any suggestions to where I should look. I don't want a job as a babysitter or anything like that. So please try to keep those suggestions out, thanks for your feedback.

Okay I'm still trying to learn about credit.
So I have a Visa with a limit of $1000. Then I have a co-signed account with Leons Furniture with my Mom so I could buy a coach. That account is completly paid off (wasn't late, not due until late February). No student loans or nothing (Paid with cash and worked during college). I got a leased apartment, never been late/NSF. Now does it look bad to have a credit card and on average I have between $150-500. (depending on what was going on that month). It's always paid off at the end of the month (if not, it's only something like $20). Does this still look bad to a credit company?
I'm just trying to keep my credit as clean as I can because I am aspiring to finance a car in the next year or so.
