I have a full time secretarial/personal assistant job that i loathe. I absolutely hate coming to work. My boss is a total b***h. I have applied for another really good job with the city and I'm waiting to hear back. The thing is they say the application and interviewing process takes 60 days. Frankly, I can't wait that long. should I grit my teeth and stay where I am, or find another job in the meantime and work there until I hear about the city job. I don't like going to a job for a few weeks and then leaving for another, but I'm at my wits end and I can't afford not to have a job at all.

Is there any way to divert a small portion of my IRA funds to prosper.com?

I would like to add a little debt to my portfolio for diversification, and prosper.com's returns (8-12% on average) are competitive with stocks/mutual funds.

I know IRAs are pretty flexible with the type of investments you can put in them.

Hi all and thanks for your advice in advance....

I recently lost my job a couple of months ago and therefore had to claim benifits.

Due to housing benifits speed the rent was a couple of months late so i started getting phone calls everyday for about 20 minutes at a time. He tells me exactly what i should be doing i.e. go to the local M.P. write a letter to so and so and phone these people.

Also he has added interest on top of the arrers and now is saying i owe him nearly £1000.

I could understand if he phoned twice a month to ask me if i had heard anything but every day???

That can be right also he has served me with a notice to quit because of this even though i have a 2 yr old son and a heavly pregnant wife.

After every phone call both me and my wife get really stressed and argue.

The landlord never listens to what i have to say and just trys to order me to do something. Also as i met this guy at my local church i assumed he was a nice old man.......

Hi! I'm a stay at home mother of two, a 10 1/2 yr. old and a 2 1/2 yr. old. I'm going to be home schooling my son this year and I've been looking for a work at home job that will actually bring in a significant amount of money without my having to shell out any money to get started. We can't afford that right now. So if anyone knows of or is actually working with a company that fits this criteria, please let me know everything that you can tell me about it. Thank you so much.

I purchased a rental property recently and have been doing extensive work to keep rent and maintain it. I have numerous credit card statements and milage records for work done. Do I need to somehow formally declare that I am running a business for the IRS? I will go over the standard deduction this year and wasn't sure if I needed to start a business or something. I am new to tax law and business, so the more detail the better. Thanks!!

I'm currently studying finance in uni and we're taught portfolio theory and that diversification works well in reducing risk. However I don't believe in this as it is all theory. Does anyone know how and why some investors can make huge returns by just investing in one stock w/o diversification? How can they predict if a share price is going up w/o having insider information?

I just moved into my apartment yesterday (4 beds) with two of my roommates, and we discovered that while 2 bedrooms were empty, 2 others looked like the previous owners still lived there. We complained to the management and are trying to get in touch with the regional supervisors. They told us not to touch any of their stuff in the mean time, so we can't use two of the bedrooms or the kitchen or even half of the living room. The previous tenants were supposed to move out the 31st of July.
I live in Louisiana. Is there any legal action I can pursue? When do I get to throw out and/or keep their stuff?
Also, the complex said it would clean the apartment in a letter it sent everyone, though I cannot find it in the lease. The apartment is, obviously, not cleaned. Is there anything I can do about this? We're trying to get a month's rent free; is this a good course to take?

I need an excuse to stay home from work today. It has to be something believable and I need it quick! It can't be something that will be a problem tomorrow though (1 day issue). Oh and it has to be something a female can use (my boss won't believe that I got kicked in the nuts and now I'm pissing blood - I'm not a guy!). By the way, I work at McDonald's and I've only been working there for like a month.

I took out a payday loan (stupid thing) and Something came up and I couldn't pay it back at that time, but sent what I could and now they are saying that I paid the loan in full but there are other charges that I have to pay. When I asked for a bill or something showing the amount they refused. They harrass me at work and home. They now just called and wanted Human Resources so they can do a wage garnishment. I thought you had to go Court in order for them to do it. And I tried to look the loan company up to see if they are legal in Illinois and I can't find anything on their business. It is getting so embarrassing. How can I make them go away. How can they garnish my wages. I don't make all that much and I am supporting my 2 kids, where daycare takes most my check anyway. How can they get away with this? They said they are from Westbury or something like that? Anybody have any advise on what to do? They are harrassing me..
