I went to this site below and it says that California does not have state lottery tax. If I purchased the ticket in VA, I have to claim in VA... So do i pay the VA tax as mentioned below, or do I pay the California tax, which is nothing??

tricky question of the day, lol, I was looking at my statement for my 401k and it shows for the last fiscal quester I made 5.4% interest. I've made around that for each quarter since I opened it a a while ago. Initially, I was thinking "hey, thats 20% for the year, not bad", but I don't think thats correct. I'm not sure, but if you make 5% each quarter for a year that means you made 5% for the year correct?

This is a good question for an accountant, hopefully I'm not making only 5.4% a year on my 401k, as aggressively and diversified as I have it set-up, lol

I was rearended in a car accident a little over 2 years ago. Complete fault of driver for a company. Apparently my attorney has not been acting in my best interest (not disclosing liens, fees, etc. when requested). I was to go to court next week for my case, however my attorney had got me to agree to settle; nothing finalized yet. Apparently my attorney has not mentioned that I owe several thousands of dollars for medical bills to my insurance company, this is after exhausting all 1st party benefits. We have discussed all fees, med. bills, etc. several times and I have asked for anything that I owe. He has known about the lien and has not made me aware of this until after I had agreed to settle my case. Is there anything that can be done to lower the amount with my ins. co. or this attorney? Should I go to court and ask for an extension rather than settling? I will need surgery, will I have to pay for this out of pocket if from accident? I'm in a bad way and could use any help. Help?

I know it may sound like an odd question to ask but the business I am doing is completely start up. I have included all the cost and so forth in the plan already. I just don't see a need for graphs. I am using a business pro format. It used a few graphs as an example but like I said I can't see the necessity.

Tomorrow I am closing on my first home. I was told today by someone in the title company when she called to schedule the closing that I might have to bring an official check. My understand was there is no closing cost and 100% financing why would I have to bring an official check and if so what at amount would I be looking at? The property is for $154k. I believe if it says no closing cost then I shouldnt pay anything. What do you think? This has me really stressed because I wasn't counting on this. Could it be the taxes? What amount would I be looking at? I asked all these questions to the girl and she couldnt answer them till tomorrow! ugh

Thanks in advance

I have to move, rather being force to move cause I was ill in July so my rent was short. Rather than move to rent again I need to buy but credit is not so great. Here's the ad

Beautiful 4 bed 3 bath single family home.
It is located in the growing community of Lathrop. As you drive around you’ll see how many improvements are on the way. This is a nearly brand new house in a brand new community.

Map with Ariel Image: "http://local.live.com/default.aspx?v=2&cp=37.802545~-121.302848&style=h&lvl=15&tilt=-90&dir=0&alt=-1000&sp=Point.q90cfk4wr8kv_17364%20Stone%20Celler%20Way%2C%20Lathrop%2C%20CA%2095330-8819%2C%20United%20States___&encType=1"

The house has been designed beautifully and has a real sense of community about it.
You can see pics here:

If you are commuting to the Bay area or Sacramento Lathrop is much easier to get to than Manteca because you wont need to take busy highway 120.
The area has a lot of great development coming and the design I feel is much nicer than anything I’ve seen in Manteca or Tracy. I am really in love with the area.

There’s more information on Lathrop here: http://www.lathropgov.org/
The home is ready to be moved into now.

FEATURES INCLUDE:
2328 SF living area
2 Story
HUGE Master Bedroom with HUGE master bath and HUGE walk in closet
3 additional good sized bedrooms (1 down stairs)
HUGE Family bathroom upstairs
Open living room with grand entry
Large kitchen and family room
Open and spacious design
2 car garage with remote controlled electric door
Central heating and a/c
Very nice landing at the top of the stairs
VERY LITTLE LAWN WORK for those who do not want to maintain a huge lawn.
Less than 2 minutes to Highway

1 year-6 month-month to month leases all ok.

Qualifying is easy, bad credit is OK. Please call for details.
Lease option to buy available. Please call for more info.

According to the law (MA), if you left your job voluntarily with good cause (attributable to your employer) or for an urgent or compelling personal reason, you may be eligible.

Does anyone have any examples of good cause, or urgent/compelling reasons?.. Aside from the obvious harrassment and things of that nature etc. Does major anxiety qualify? :P Particularly when it's already documented that my stat's are and have been since starting 2/07 below acceptable standard. Are we eligible to be human and as hard as it is to say... say "I can't do it"? When you have burning tears on the way to your car at the days end everyday... and then again the 1st day after being gone for 2 months.. unrelated medical reasons..(legitimate way to get out of saying "I can't do it, I can't even go near the parking lot") (anxiety)... when you know for yourself... is that enough to qualify if you need to apply at least for the time lost going elsewhere? Anyone? The more the better cause I'm at a loss :(

Also, I want to invest $10,000.00 at first. So is it reasonable amount to invest at first. Regarding the feeses of discount brokerage, how much do they charge on every step. For example, to clarify my question, let's say I buy stocks of $10,000.00, so they are going to charge me $7.00 only once ? and what other fees like opening a account fees? Do they charge money when I transfer my money from one bank to scottrade account? Will they charge when I sell them? Will they charge when I get some profit from selling those stocks? what about the taxes ?
