Business & Finance - 18 July 2007

Obviously, I want to make decent money... doesn't everyone? I'm not looking to be filthy rich; just comfortable. We were pretty poor growing up and I want to give my (future) children better opportunities. I'm going into my second year of college. I'm fluent in Spanish and have yet to delare a major. I'd like ideas possible career choices. I know obviously I could teach... become a translator etc. If you've got more specific ideas I'd love to hear them. Lists or websites will also be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Why not just hire someone already with the degree?

Please only serious honest answers.
My husband recently joined the army and we need to get out of debt or atleast make good on what we owe others. Peace of mind and its the right thing to do. We are far behind on our credit card bills and owe about 10,000 dollars. I need to know what would be the best way to take care of this. Debt Consolodation, Call creditors. If I make good on them would this help my husband get a security clearance.
I'm willing to try anything that will work. I understand that my credit score will be low, I just dont want this to be over our heads everyday and I want creditors to stop calling and to show we are paying somehow. Thank you.

Ok heres my dilema. Today I saw an add for a house rental. I called and went to see it and it was an offer I couldn't pass up. The catch is I have to move in by Aug 1st or no deal. I agreed and now I have to tell my landlord I am moving in 10 days. I don;t have a lease, and quite frankly I have been complaining about little things forever that have never been taken care of. I complained my AC was not working right last year, and a month ago it went caputz, I've been baking here ever since. Do you think he can keep my security deposit for not giving sufficent notice? Should I even feel guilty?

I keep seeing questions that basically ask for a hand-out, and I'm thinking to myself, "This is just TOO GOOD!" So I figured I'd get in on the act and beg for money also. If ya can't beat 'em, join 'em!

I'm not especially poor (I make $11,000 a year, my budget works, I'm saving for retirement and I have a little house to call my own), but I'm not rich either. Hmm, not pathetic enough.

Sometimes, when I eat a meal, I want dessert, but I can't afford it!

I haven't had any alcohol since January! I can't even afford to drink! How I crave my precious Long Island Iced Tea! Lol. I have no idea how these people sound congruent. I'm not a good sob story-writer.

But just in case anyone out there has some money to burn, please send me as much as you like to geeloeeloee@yahoo.com through Paypal. I'd much appreciate it.

Why don't we all go start a web site called BeggarsRing.com?

My Ex and I split up, everything was cival, she knew I was in a bad spot concerning money and told me not to worry about the utilities in her name if I couldnt pay it, she would. I have since moved out of that residence moved out about 4 months ago, moved 25 miles away to another town and the word is shes hired a lawyer to sue me for the bills I left behind.... I cant possibly be liable for this right? They were in her name and I signed nothing nor said I would pay for them, she had the power anytime to take them out of her name... thanks everyone... I live in Idaho by the way if that helps...

The only open accounts on my name are 3 student loans and i do not have to pay any of them until i graduate so i have never made a payment, or missed one.

Hello I'm Marlon Stanfield, 29 year-old father of one eight-year old girl. I have very little family. I'm single, and sometimes it's a struggle for me to take on all my responsibilties myself. Today I couldn't make it to work because I had no gas and everyone I called couldn't help. So tonight I decided to see if my Yahoo family would help after reading St.Luke Chapter 6. All I need is $20 and I'll be fine. I will even repay anyone that decides to send it to me. Money order, check, cash, whatever. I would be truly thankful and if I recieve the $20 before I get the first..... I will send your money back. You can mail any donations to:


14664 Middle Gibraltar Rd. Apt 8
Rockwood, MI 48173

payable to Marlon Stanfield

If you think of this and decide to do it then you are a truly favored person.

My spouse took out credit cards in my name with my information. Can I close these accounts if I am the primary cardholder, that is the person identified as the one opening the account at the time it was opened. I now have a lot of debt on cards in my name that I was not aware of until just recently.

I hate my job. I went into this job under the advice of the HR manager. She recommended I get a job in customer service call center to move up in my company. I would have to stay in this job for a year and its been 3 months and I am just fed up. I work in the web support area which means I help people navigate the site and use online tools. I work for a health insurance company. The site goes down daily and I get yelled at and the pay for this is rediculous!! I can't even enjoy my weekends without thinking of this job or enjoy my evenings when I get off everyday!! I want to quit so badly, but need the income for paying my rent and bills..I have applied so many places and no luck. It s-cks you go to college and can't even get a job!! I feel trapped. I get depressed when I think of going to that job every morning. The thought of quitting is comforting to me. I was thinking of quitting and taking a small loan until I found another job to support me for the time..what do you think?

I just purchased my first home. I bought a pre construction home. I bought it for 200k and put about 2k into it. I believe its worth about 260-280 already. I know about the housing slump but thats what it comps out at. Anyway, if I flipped it how much would I pay in taxes? Is it like earned income or a certain percentage. Also, can I roll it into anything besides real estate without paying taxes.

thanks

I know traditional IRAs contribution date is the due date of the return NOT including extensions. Is it the same for a SEP IRA? I couldn't find it specifically in pub 590, but I'm assuming that it's the same as a normal traditional IRA. Confirm?
