I'm almost to my two year point at my job and I will get a really great retirement plan. I've been waiting for it for 2 years and seems silly to quit and not do it at all

The job is 30 minutes away and gas is expensive

My car isn't the best of cars nor does it get good gas mileage

If I'm pregnant I want to be a stay at home mom.

I don't even know how much it would pay

I'm sure they will hire again in the future.

What do you think?

I just got hired as a lab tech at a medical device company. It is an entry level job, and is part time as I am still a student. They are hiring me as a 'consultant' even though I have no special expertise. I assume they are doing this for some benefit of theirs. Will my taxes end up being more than if I were an official part time employee?

I just secured an apt today. However, I was told to place $300 down to take the apt off the market. this is in NYC. they said they need to do a credit check first which takes a few days. If it doesn't approve I get $250 back minus $50 for credit check charge. But if it approves it goes towards the rest of the deposit. Now I want it back because I can't move in cos of an emergency from my end. do you think they can give me back my deposit?TX

My father would like to help us purchase our first home by co-signing on the loan for us. (yes, we both understand the implications of him being a co-signer on the mortgage). He is retired and living on his pension (not collecting SS just yet). Is this possible on a FHA mortgage?

I currently work for a large company. I recently sent a resume and cover letter to a small company. The company looked like a great opportunity and an interesting place to work. I would possibly even consider taking a pay cut to work there if it is as good as it looks. I received a response from the CEO telling me that I was perfect for the job, but he doesn't think he can compete with the salary my company pays. Is this an indication that he thinks I'm overqualified or he has another person in mind for the job already? We didn't discuss salary numbers at all. What should I tell him?

In a State, you are allowed to sell up to 3 cars without a dealer's license. And you sell up to 3 cars a year. Would the money you make considered as taxable income or capital gain?

I have a fairly high quantitative aptitude (I took a full-length, timed GMAT yesterday for the first time, without practice, and scored a 720). Thanks in advance for your advice!!!

I was thinking about advertising for people to come to my home on a certain day each week where I would have a table, balloons and signs set up in the front yard and they could each take a sample product and a brochure home and have the option of buying a product. Could I post signs around the neighborhood leading toward my house?

I've thought of having a flea market booth but the one here doesn't have a lot of traffic and most of the people that go there aren't my target market.

I'm also going to have a website soon where people can order my products but I want to get the word spread in my area. Any better ideas? And is any of this illegal?

You hire a real estate broker to submit an offer on a house & give her a deposit check made payable to the broker since we don't know which escrow company to use. The owner rejects your offer. You back-out of the deal. Later you find out that real estate broker cashed your check. What would you do in this case?
