I'm going to be a firefighter/Paramedic just like my parents. I got about 2 years left till I start my training and I'm currently a volunteer.
In Portsmouth, Virginia, they start at 50k a year and Virginia Beach starts at 56k a year, for FF/EMT-Ps.
Looking at the cost of living in Virginia and North-east North Carolina, Is 50-56k enough money to live well. I'm not asking for much, I just want a decent size house in a good neighborhood and a nice car like a Mustang.

I also plan on doing ER technician part-time, and that will put my total pay at 75k a year.

Is 50-56k a year enough?

My Dr told me that they can not write off uncollected medical accounts on their taxes. This does not seem that it would be true since they are professionals providing a service and the debt is noncollectable.

I recently graduated as a RN. My potential employer told me they wanted me as charge within 6 months. Even though I know I could push myself, I was turned off by the pressure of this from day 1. I want to be a safe, effective nurse, and would not have had a problem with charge RN if she had given me a year or something. This is a facility that I have never worked, so all polices, procedures, and systems would all be new for me to learn too. Is this too much to ask or normal for a new grad? Thanks for any advice!

I currently work as a staff accountant at a CPA firm and I make $10.00 an hour. The lady that was there before me made just over $13.00 an hour after 7 years of employment. I do get a paid vacation and we do have a 401k.

I have been thinking about going to real estate school to become a real estate agent. I love going into houses and looking around at the different layouts and decorating themes, etc.

I like the idea of being self-employed and having a job where I am not behind a desk all day. The downside is the hours - people calling at all times of the day and night, 7 days a week.

I have always wanted to have my own "business" and I have considered opening a bookkeeping business, but I also am leaning toward real estate. Maybe I could do both?

I would appriciate any input! Thanks!

I earn a very small paycheck and work very hard all week long and even pull overtime when I can. The problem is I have rent, car, insurance, and utilities. Sometimes, if it wasnt for my mother, I wouldn't eat. I have tried budgetting, but something always happens and pushes me right back to where i began. How do I overcome this?

my boyfriend works for fedex for his dad, and he owes alot of money on his taxes because when he started he though the taxes were taken out. But come to find out he owes like $8000 for the past 2 yrs in taxes. Since his dad is basically his boss, and writes him a buisness check every week. Was it his dads responsibility to take the money out of his pay?

Hey ya-so I've finished up a 3 day physical/drug screening/DOJ background/fingerprint/TB test etc, and I'm headed back home which is about 300 miles away later today. It looks like I have the job, but I have some expenses that I wanted to ask the new employer about covering (gas, motel, food only). Anyone know when a good time to ask would be and how to approach the HR manager about it? Thanx.
