Business & Finance - 22 July 2007

Hi, I am 13, and have an online store (because I can't get a job till I am 14) I have been advertising with posters, and in chatrooms. Nothing has been working for me. My online store has been open for about two months, and I have only sold one item (can you guess who bought it?). I want to know what you think makes up a successful online store/shop, and what I should change about my current shop. Or if you have any ideas for advertising.

I don't know why my house is not selling. Could you please look at my pictures and tell me what is wrong. I am so frustrated and stuck, I have put so much work into this and I have to sell by October. I am sorry, but I don't know what to do. I want to move to Alabama and relax, but I feel like I will be stuck in New York (Queens) forever. I have already purchased my house down south and need to leave soon or everything, all my financial plans will be messed up. Help. PLEASE!

If I set up an offshore company for the purpose of trading stock and investing, can I save money on capital gains tax? I am considering creating an offshore company in a country with no capital gains tax. I could then distribute money to shareholders (myself) as dividends thus lowering my taxes. Has anyone done this? If so, what country should I incorporate in and what is the cost?

My wife and I have a home business that actually is honorable, give us the opportunity to make good money, and offers a good product people actually want!

Very easy to do!

Three things about it...

1. Your not gonna be a milioniare overnight!
2. Its gonna require effort!
3. You might actually be able to tell your friends about it without them laughing at you or avoiding you!

I know this is an unorthodox way to advertise...but there are so many scams out there this is all I could think of!

Drop me an email and let me know yours!

I promise I won't blitz your email with a bunch of garbage!

How much money do you think its takes to start a niteclub. I have ran one for 7 years, but I was also a full-time student so I didnt get a chance to really see the accounting aspect. But I practically do everything where Im currently employed but I do not think I receive proper pay. Now that I have graduated in marketing I really would like to open up my own spot. Any advice. Serious suggestions only, I dont need any opinions from people who have no idea about the club business. !!

I've never had a serious job but i'm thinking about taking another vacation...simply because that's what i do..i work really hard save a lot of money and then go. I don't have a career. I just work wherever i please but i was wondering. I just moved to this job in april and was thinking about leaving in october. i only have 3 jobs on my resume. the first i had for 2 yrs. than i went on a huge trip. then i got a job in jan and held that for almost 4 years. I moved to my new state to get a differant job and change surroundings. I had to leave the first job because of various reasons even though i was a great worker they won't give me a good recommendation. so now i've been at my new job since april and i want to relocate back to my home state...or possibly somewhere else.
since i work in jobs that don't have a high retention rate anyway or that always need ppl do you think this will be a big deal or no?

You are buying a company NOT betting it all on red 13. Buying a stock is no different than buying a small business, flipping a house, etc. It may work out or not. I'm just sick and tired of ignorant people putting down stocks especially women and their money market/ CD fetish ( then we wonder why most women can never afford to retire even ones that worked all their lives....5% isn't going to cut it especially after inflation and taxes). I mean what are the odds of WB, BAC, GE, JNJ, NYX and countless of other cash machines with solid business going down under? Hell I just don't get it why people think like that? What do you think?

I have a settlement from court ordering someone to pay me but that person refuses. The court asked me to provide them with the persons address but my problem is that I do not know the exact apartment where that person lives, only the address. The building has over a hundred apartments and the listing in the lobby doesn't have that persons name. Any ideas on how I can find out the apartment number?

My father in law is 86 and failing. He wants my wife to buy his house by paying off her brothers, for there part of the inheritence. The brothers have agreed to it. We would do a quick claim for the transaction leaving my father in laws name on title with both my self and my wifes. All would be recorded. Our current house is being sold and this would become our primary home. We live in California. Should we do this?

I read on some sites that upgrades made to a home, such as wood flooring, new appliances and new paint, are considered during an appraisal, but my Realtor says the amenities don't matter, that the comps, square footage, condition, and age of the home are what appraisers look at. Which is correct?

Would a National Sales Tax dedicated to paying that portion that employers pay for their employees who are citizens or permanent alien residents who are employed in the United States make sense? Would it give incentive for the employers to stay in the United States instead of going over seas? Would it not give a greater base to draw upon to support Social Security and Medicare because of the increased employment here at home? And with anything that is left over shouldn't it be applied to paying down the National debt?

My fiance and I live in Nebraska, he works in Iowa. I have heard that he has to pay taxes in both states. Is this true? If so, will the credit issued for payment to one state equal the additional taxes paid to the other state? Will he wind up paying more combined taxes, than if we just lived in the same state he works in? We are not yet homeowners, but when we do buy, will the deduction for our mortgage interest in Nebraska be credited toward the taxes owed in Iowa?

Over 10 years ago my father had put my brother, sis, and I into a lmtd. partnership or LLC. This is supposed to our inheritance. When I turned 18 and did taxes, he always did my taxes even though it is signed as self-prepared.He gave me copies of a K1 form. I never got any tax returns bc he said it made too much money. However, now I am married and now my husband is suffering since we file together by not receiving any tax returns as well. There were also distributions that I never received on K1 form. He always said he would pay the taxes as well. I think some of the distributions might be due to paying the taxes, but I also feel that something fishy is going on. Lately, I feel like telling him that he either needs to give me the distributions or get me out of partnership bc it is affecting my family. I have also decided I am doing my own tax returns next year. Do I have a right to get the money now or get out? How do I go about doing this?
