Business & Finance - 5 August 2007

My builder told me that the walk-through for my new home would be on a Friday (24 Aug) - that my inspector should be scheduled on the Thurs (23 August) , and to get the report submitted to the builder 1 day later on Fri (same day as walk-thru). THEN the final walk-thru to be on the Monday (27 August), followed immediately by closing (an hour after final walk-thru). My gut feeling is - what work can possibly be done between the walk-thru on Friday and the final walkthru on Monday...and the closing set just 1 hour after the final walk-thru. The builder assures me that any work needed can be finished in hours and the final walk-through should not take more than 20 mins, and thus closing can be done just one hour later. I get the feeling the builder is in a hurry to close before the end of August for some reason. It is 5 August and the house is not even ready (floors, fixtures etc all not in). I need some advice as to whether this rushed timeline is typical of new home construction.

"Hello doctor, I've been having pain and discomfort in my entire body daily for about 5 years now and some days it gets so bad that I can't get out of bed. I have my "good" days but most of the time it's hard for me to function in daily life and I can't do all the things I want to do. I also get headaches, SEVERE period cramps, lightheadedness and fatigue. I get sharp pains in my stomach and back that sometimes bring me to my knees. I'm a pretty tough 22 year old, but have cried several times from the pain and feeling helpless. Also, over-the-counter meds like Tylenol and Midol don’t help me at all" - Berry

"Here's some Paxil." - Doc

"Hello doctor, I've had serious stomach problems for about 5 years including sharp pains, discomfort, frequent gas, diarrhea and constipation. I eat healthy most of the time and don't eat fast food. I think my stomach problems have resulted from my teenage partying phase where I drank and did drugs. I have quit these bad habits but have continued to have problems." - Berry

"Here's some Imodium AD.” – Doc

I feel these doctors don’t take me seriously and they just hand me a useless prescription without running tests, asking me questions or even giving advice about diet and exercise or what could be causing my problems at such a young age. Are my problems too complicated and they don’t want to deal with them? Do they think I’m lying or imagining it?

Where can I find good healthcare with a caring doctor who will take me seriously and actually try to help? In the meantime, I’ve been self-medicating with Loritabs for over a year because it’s the only thing I’ve found that has eased my pain and made it so I can function and have a normal life.

I'm starting a company with a few friends and as part of the process, I met with a few accountants a few weeks ago to select one for our company. One of them decided to send me a bill for $240 for the initial consultation. I know it's customary for accountants to provide complimentary initial consultation; she also did not warn me in advance that she was going to charge me for the initial consultation. I think it's pretty unprofessional for her to just stick me with the bill, I don't think that I should pay for something I did not agree to. Do I have to pay? She has our to-be company's name, my name & address. If I don't pay, will my credit be damaged?

I bring money whenever i go out, but i've always got friends asking me to lend them some money because they were too lazy to bring their own. I usually have to wait 2 weeks just to get my money back (I'm talking about small money).
Whats a good way to tell my friends that I'm not going to lend them money without looking so selfish?

I am planning to start a concierge/errand service within the next year. Money will be tight. The company will begin as a sole proprietorship and will be home-based, no employees. I will have my AAS in accounting next May, so I think that I can handle the accounting stuff myself. For the type of business, I think that I will need insurance/bonding, but I was wondering if it would be okay to forgo this until I'm actually bringing in revenue. I definitely won't have the money for a lawyer, but I'm afraid that if I write contracts, releases, etc. myself that I will leave something out and put myself in a vulnerable position with clients.

So my question is can a start my business without a lawyer and insurance for now, or do I NEED to go ahead and invest in it? What can I do to protect myself on a shoestring budget (I'm talking tiny budget, $2500 max)
