My apartment's leasing office is requiring that I get my carpets professionally cleaned before I move out next week. On the move-out instruction packet they gave me, they say they do not accept work done by a certain carpet cleaning company (who of course is the cheapest). Can they legally do this? It does not say anything about this in my lease...

I'm at a crossroads right now. I just graduated with a BA in Communications/Journalism. I love writing and reading, research - it's the only thing I'm really good at. But let's be realistic, the field of full time journalism isn't paying well these days. I also have an AA in Journalism. I was young when I got that degree around 19, now I'm mid 20's. I'm considering going to get my AA in paralegal studies. I really think my 'calling' is in that field. What do you think? do you think I should get my degree in paralegal? I'm having so much trouble finding work (and yes I've been looking). paralegal program at my comm. college has automatic job placement. give me some guidance, thanks

My husband is still employed and not receiving SS yet. Our combined income will be about $30K, and we live in Georgia. Will we have to pay taxes on our total income or just on his earned income?

I was offered by a telemarketer a homestead on the planet Mars. He went on and on about global warming and the idea that we might have to leave this planet someday... I think its a cool idea. My exclusive offer allows me to pick any spot, anywhere as long as I payed 50% cash upfront. He told me that most investments sell for $2,500 but recomenned that I get the most property that I could afford now because its going fast. In fact, he said that if I gave him my debit card over the phone he could lock it in right on the spot.

I couldn't do it because my wallet was in the car and he said that he would call back.

Whats your take... is this sound right?

Thanks

Seven years ago, a family member bought a condo with a VA home loan. The mortgage company sold the account to Fleet who stopped sending bills or coupons for payments. Essentially, they screwed my family member and after two late payments (it took 18 days to process because there was no payment coupon included) they started foreclosure procedures. Really bad company to do business with. She had no choice but to file bankruptcy. They forclosed on her in less then two months and the condo sat vacant for over a year and a half. No one helped her and the mortgage company even hung up on me when I called them. Can she qualify for a VA home loan again?

The difference between the sale price and loan amount, does the bank just take a loss or am I responsible for the difference? Also, the difference between sale price and loan amount, do I get taxed on that and if so, about how much?

I want to know if a LO, who works for a BROKER, have his own business? In particular, can he have his own home inspection business? He would like to have this business since he can make money and he enjoys this line of work. Please be detailed in what he can and cannot do. He is guessing that he CAN have the business as long as he does NOT mention the LO job.

My husband and I have a total of about $20,300 of debt all together (credit card and student loans -- heavy on the student loans). How bad is this? I am 23 and going to graduate college in December -- he is 26 and has already graduated and is working. We want to buy a house within the next year and a half. Is that crazy? Is it ever going to happen? How bad is this? I added it all up and was just shocked.

The market value of stocks inflated, and as prices of stocks rose, people got nervous and started massive wave sell stocks. I don't get how this played a role in the Depression. Isn't this good because if stocks rise, then you sell it, you'll make profit.
