I have an account that will fall off my credit report soon. I just discovered that the account has been re-aged to look like I made payments a year ago.

I have been looking for a job since summer started. Now it's half way through summer and a local friendley's is giving interviews the day after tomorrow. I want a job. But my father told me that if I got one even this late in the summer it would only be for the summer. Because of school. So would walking 2 miles in the heat then spending all day every day on my feet for minimum wage or less be worth a job that will only last a max of 8 weeks? Should I even bother this late in the summer? Should I wait until something better comes along? Will something better come along? Would it be idiotic to not at least give this a try? What should I do? Should I walk two miles every day to friendley's and two miles back for money that won't even pay for driver's training? What should I do?

I own my house, and while that seems wonderful, I have absolutely no tax writeoffs. I don't make enough money from each paycheck that I can increase my withholding to be able to make it each pay period. I find I'm dipping out of savings each month. What can I do about this? I'm thinking about joining a 401k that they just started here at our office but I really can't afford to have that money taken out of my check. I need it now. I'm newly divorced and its very hard for me to live on my income because my ex made about 3 times more money than I did. I should have gone for spousal support but its too late now !

I am an at home mom looking to make more money from home. I need a reliable source of income.
Please do NOT respond with links to survey, trial offer, or paid email websites, I do those already for side income and do not need anymore.
I am looking for a legit company looking to hire someone with good typing and computer skills to work at home.
I will not invest money to begin working for a company, I don't feel that's how a legit business should operate. I feel I should be the one getting paid for my time and work to a company, not the other way around.

If anyone works for a company or has any suggestions for companies hiring, please respond asap!

P.S.- just to clarify before anyone posts about it lol, yes I've tried monster and yahoo jobs with no luck. Most are scam sites wanting a lot of money upfront.

Thanks to all who respond!!!! :)

Iam not sure if i should by an inexpensive fixer upper or buy a small property with cash and try to get construction loan for a small house. My uncle is a retired carpenter and would do the work for no charge. I have a live in job so I wouldnt have to worry about living in the house for a while. Which do you think would be easier in terms of financing. I make a lot of my money in cash and am worried about qualifying for a loan. thanks

My college career is at a stand still AGAIN... I just don't know ... I guess college is not right for me... I have been in college since 2001... first studying Medicine (I got into a 7 year program where you get your BA and MD), then I had personal crisis that forced me to leave (i really didn't want to study medicine. it was more like the thing to do in my family.) then I went back to school and ended up majoring in Political Science (again, something I wasn't really into). Then, for not even a semester got into History. That didn't last. And this summer I tried Math and I just don't have the Math skill I used to have.

Sigh...

There is one field I know I really always liked. And that is computers. I was taught myself this or that and loved to mess with my computer. I even self-taught myself some basic C programming and currently messing with Python and Linux. Majoring in Computer Science at this point is near impossible because of my finical burden.

Can I get a job in computers?

If you could have ANY job/career possible what would you chose to be? Why?

Personally, I'd love to be an Astronaut. I’ve always been interested in space, stars and whatever else is out there.

Your at a job now that is 36,000 a year paid semi weekly with only medical insurance, no dental or vision, retirement, 10 days all together for everything (sick,vacation, etc...) IIn two months it makes a year of you being employed with the company. It is 20 minutes away from your house.
Then you are offered a job at 38,000-40,000 a year being paid bi-weekly. It has full medical, dental and vision, tuition reimbursment, 2 weeks vacation, 10 sick days. 45 min away from your house.

You might find this funny, but I have no idea what to answer if the guy interviewing me asked "So, why do you want this job" or " What made you decide to go for this job " ....
I wont freak or anything, but I might stutter.

Any heads-up answers regarding types of questions that could be asked in any interview (regardless of the career) & the 2nd question I just wrote down.

Very thankful in advance.

Due to some massive tax credits and deductions I was in the 10% tax bracket last year. Due to further investment in a business, I'm looking at the 10% bracket once again. If I withdrew $100K from an IRA rollover (it used to be a 401k, now it's an IRA) what would I be hit with? 10% tax plus the 10% penalty or would I be hit with my tax rate at the time of accumulating the 401k (33% or so).

Thank you Yahoo Answer Community in advance!

I am 21 years old and I have nothing as far as credit. Everything I have is in my parents' name (phone, car, school bills, etc.). While I'm fortunate to have such generous parents, I think it will handicap me when I want to take out my first loan. I'm getting married in 2 years to a young man in the same situation. We want to take out a loan to pay for our own wedding and reception because we are very grateful to them for all they have done for us thusfar. We don't want anyone to co-sign for us. Is it possible to build enough credit to be able to take out a $10,000 loan with a decent interest rate in just 2 years?
