Business & Finance - 29 January 2007

I had received an e-mail from Green Solutions, Inc. telling me about a position as a financial agent.

It is a work-at-home position and all communication will be online. There is a trial period of one month, where the new agent is paid $1500 a month plus an eight percent commission. Internet access and a bank account are required. apparently, the job entails receiving funds from stockbrokers and other clients, and channeling the funds to the client specified in the contract.

Do any of you have any experience working in this type of job? If so, what were your experiences? (You do not have to reveal the names of clients.)

Hello, I am looking for some advice on my current financial situation. I am 27 years old and I make $125K a year. I just barely paid off all of the personal debt that I was in, (auto, CC, student loans, etc). I got engaged to my girlfriend a couple of weeks ago. She unfortunately lost her job shortly after we got engaged. She has personal debt that totals $85k with no rate being higher than 6%. She was making $30K a year and paying off her bills and helping to chip in on our living expenses. Unfotunately my line of work prevents her from finding a new job very easily. I move every 6 months, so it has to be flexible. Our joint living expenses, including her minimum debt payments, total $65k a year.
My question is this: Should we focus our efforts on paying off her outstanding debt balances or should we just pay the minimums and start to contribute money to a savings account for retirement?
I got a large raise in Oct from making $50k to $125k and I was in some serious debt trouble

Im going to be starting a new job on wednesday. Ive had only four jobs in my lifetime and i still havent learned how to make new friends at work properly. Im usually really shy which makes people think im a *****. So my question is if you had been working somewhere and a new person got hired how would you like them to act for you to be friendly and open up to them and possible become friends?

My former accountant took money from the company bank account without authorisation. She did this in the form of company cheques, whom she wrote to other companies and individuals that have no connection to my company in any way. Is this money laundering?

I work for a large union contractor(boilermakers, pipefitters, laborers, millwrights, ironworkers, teamsters, etc.). These people seem to think they deserve the world on a silver platter because they are union. Unions were first enacted to improve hellish working conditions, I would say that in the U.S.A. today conditions are no where close to where they were in the late 1800's early 1900's.

I called IRS and was told my financee can infact claim me. However the man I spoke with said to fill out page 18 of publication 501 to determine if my financee paid more then half of my daughters support. He told me to just print it out and do it in my own time prior to filing so we knew for sure.
After filling it out it is determined he can in fact claim her but how do we PROVE what we paid for food, heat, electricity, travel expenses. clothing and such is what we actually paid. I dont keep track of what he spends on her I mean who actually keeps all the receipts from travel expenses to DR's, clothing, food, entertainment and such?

Furthermore while talking to this man who was friendly but put me on hold for a while he said that they do infact count her childsupport and SSI {disability}as "income" even though its non taxable? Is this correct? When I was working and claiming my daughter I NEVER ONCE claimed her SSI or Childsupport I was told I didnt have to it was not counted

I bought a house as a rental. I think it is worth more than I paid and needs work. I am replacing the furnce, windows, floors, remodeling the bathroom etc... I want to refinance it as soon as I'm done the work so I can take that money and buy another rental. Is the bank going to give me a hard time about this, do I have to tell them what I want the money for, do I need to already have the house I want to buy picked out? Also for the mortgage on the current house I went through CMHC with 5% down, will this make it more difficult? Please explain the steps to me, I don't really 100% what I'm doing.
