I lose 10 minutes of work-time per day. That's an hour per week that I'm forced to work for free. Why can my employer make me punch a time clock and then not pay me for all my time worked?

When I clock in 5 minutes early, that extra time is disregarded. When I clock out 5 minutes late, the extra time ignored.

I have no credit and no job. I keep getting these "pre-approved" cards in the mail. I want to build credit so this is my strategy. Buy three cards A,B,C card A I buy 700 bucks is consumer goods. Before the time comes for them to add interest I pay it off with credit card B, then pay B off with C and rotate it. I do this before late payment interests are tacked on. This will inevitably raise my score, is there any problem with this method??

I received a $100 savings bond last summer, and my parents said that I could cash it as soon as the bank will allow me to. Do I have to wait one year? Because in that case, I could cash it now. And will I get the whole $100 or just $50? I heard something that you only get half of it? Please answer both questions, thanks =]

is there any way to find out about these house other than those websites that you need to buy a membership. Can you just go to a real estate agent or do you need to go to a bank?

Our mortgage balance is $270,000 with $50,000 in a HELOC. With the market the way it is, we feel we need to sell now or we might find ourselves stuck in our condo for a very long time. By selling our condo for $360,000 (that might even be wishful thinking), we can use the profit to pay off debt and free up about $1200 of monthly expenses that can be put toward saving up for a house later down the line. Of course, we'd have to go back to renting and lose out on tax benefits, but saving $1200 a month sounds pretty good to us, too. We feel by selling and paying off a considerable amount of debt, we can have a fresh start and strengthen our credit so that we can purchase later down the line. What do you guys think?

Origianl question: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?...

I received three answers to that question which disagree. I think that is because I did not state my question clearly. Here is a better effort: I own a house which I rent out. The renter wants to buy it. He has his financing in place waiting to write me a check for the total amount. I found another house to buy to replace this rental with, which I will also rent out. I have the cash to pay for it. Can I do this transaction myself, and do a 1031 tax deferred exchange legally without hiring an intermediary, or am I forced by law to hire the intermediary?

Ok, I graduated from a good university..with a degree in international affairs. It's been 2 years, and I have realized it is extremely difficult to get into my ideal field..so right now I just want to gain some administrative experience. Why is it so hard to land a damn job?! I have been on probably 8 interviews in the past 8 months, and NOTHING! I mean, I am an extremely hard worker and all my previous employers would attest to this. But WHY is it so hard to get an entry level position? Granted, I have been dabbling in various different jobs (retail, restaurant) for the past 2 years while trying to figure out what I want to do, but now I want to actually start a career.

What am i doing wrong? I feel like so many employment places want someone who has a straight and narrow path towards their goals..and i just want to find something i'm passionate about WHILE gaining some practical experience.

How can I convince people that I am very hardworking and good enough for their company?

I signed a new lease for another new area to live on the 27th of June. The landlord has already given me the keys to the new place and stated he would pay half the months rent for July. But he also stated that I can move into the new place at anytime and rent will start in August. The dilenma here is my apartment where I currently live just recently had my lease end and I am now on a month to month agreement. I wanna move by the 6th of July and only pay the rent pro rated for those days. Or what could be the consequences of moving and not paying at all. I gave a thirty day notice on the 29th. Could anyone have an answer to this

I want to setup a Wire Transfer at

http://rapidshare.com/en/premium.html

How safe is a Wire Transfer? Is there anyway they can take more money from me? I don't know anything about a Wire Transfer I know I go to my bank and probably speak with someone and then I ok the Transfer right? Can the company take money money from my account even if I do not setup any more transfers?

I know the company could take my money and not give me an account etc but I am ok with that its only like $30-$100 and not thousands. Also sense the money is not in my currency I am Canadian can I still complete the transfer at my local bank?

Thanks for the info if theres anything else you want to tell me go ahead.

My wife and i are saving for a house, but the money is currently in a regular bank savings account and all we get is about $32 in three months. This is ridiculous. We want to save the money in the online saving account where we can get something slightly higher. We'll need the money in one year or less, or if a house opportunity comes up, suddenly. So we'd like to know which online saving is the best and the one that will have the money ready for me in about 2-3 business days. Please advise. The best online savings in terms of services, best in terms of rates and best in terms of having the money ready/transfered back to my account. Also let me know if they are insured FDIC

Please advise.
