I have worked for a company for four years and just received my first raise and it wasn't much (they tell all employees they have a three year rule) is that fair?

I want to make an offer on a home that isn't yet on the open market, but the owner is in financial difficulties. I have to wait for my loan application to be approved before I talk to him. Meanwhile the agent in the area that I have consulted tells me she managed to talk with him briefly, and learnt that he is in difficulty because he can't meet a balloon payment.
Not wanting to show my ignorance I said no more then looked up a definition.
Why would he have taken out this type of loan instead of a home equity one? Does he not have an option to negotiate to change the payment for another loan?

I have a ton of books and i cannot take them all with me. I dont want to take them to goodwill i only have a car and it would cost me money to get rid of them taking them there it would take about 3 or 4 trips. I was thinking about putting a free books sign out by the highway but i don't know if anyone would take them.

Any ideas on how to get rid of alot of books fast?

Just out of curiosity and because someone may be using my number, I was just wondering, what can happen if two people try to file taxes using the same Social Security number? I mean, can either one be punished or how does the law find out who and where that other person lives? What is the whole process and what exactly can happen?

I want to get a certification or degree in the healthcare field... hopefully something that will require 2 years of school (associates degree) or less. Any recommendations what certification or degree you think I should get?

I love working directly with people, I have excellent communication skills, but I CANNOT handle a field where death happens a lot, and I also can't do anything in a dental office. Any help would be appreciated.

Starbucks would have to hire workers and
Wal-Mart would have to get them space. If this relationship was found to be mutually beneficial can I get paid for the idea?

(the above example is hypothetical....just trying to see if I propose two companies should unite and I present a business plan to both companies if I can be paid). Thank you very much for anyone's help or direction for help.

The stock is worth near $100 which is about as high as I have seen it get, so I don't see leaving that money in that stock as gaining me anything.

The real estate market in Illinois (Chicagoland area) is slow right now, so there is not a big demand for new homes to be built. My boyfriend is a carpenter, he is in the union and does mainly residential work (framing). If he were to be laid off, what are the best areas in the U.S. for carpenters to find work?

I was told that I needed some expensive dental work, so I had to apply for credit in order to finance it. It turns out that I didn't need the work done after all, so now I don't need the credit. Should I close my account, or will that look bad on my credit report. My other option is to leave it open until I need it one day. I already have 5 open credit cards an really don't want another. What should I do?

My grandfathers Financial advisor has told him that when he reaches 90, he has to change his investments for tax reasons,. He said something about fedral gov. will force distribution... something like that. AND, that he may only have 10, 000. in the bank (combined check and savings). He had to not renew a CD, because it was not in the right type of account for him. Is this legit?

We move into our first purchased home this Saturday. We managed to get a better deal for a FAST ckosing date, which means we only have FIVE (yes, FIVE) days to pack our home, set up utilities, everything. (We move into it this Saturday).
So, I need some tips on how to make this go easier. My fiance is working a ton of overtime this week, which he booked in for months ago. So, he's pretty busy, and I will be doing pretty much everything myself (packing, phone calls, organizing the move).

To complicate things, we have a 5 yr old, 3 cats, a dog, AND I am 37 weeks pregnant.

If you have any hints or tips to help make this easier, let me know PLEEEASE! Kind of like a timeline of what I should be doing day by day would be handy. I am donating a TON of our unused items to cut down on moving un necessary items, so it should help a bit. Also, our new home is only 2 blocks from where we currently live.

Moving hints, tips, and new home decor tips would be handy!

THANK YOU!!!
