My Husband and I are stil unsure of renting or buying right now...Its kind of complicated since he just got out of the military and we just moved back to MA across the country and are currently staying with my family. We always used one car because e lived on a small military base...now we NEED to cars because Im starting a part-time job and I have to small children...My husband also works a hour away 48 hours at a time! So a car is a MUST! I have money in my savings but im saving that for the house (we are using the VA Loan) Will it hurt us to take out a small auto loan for like $4,000? My husbands credit score is about 710...We also have no credit card debt at all....We have three cards but only charge gas and pay them off right away...And we have one car loan out thats a couple years old for $12,000. thanks!

Hi All,

First off thank you for reading this.

My question is, should i cash out my IRA early to pay off credit card debt?

Here is my situation:

I am 25 years old and i have about $19k in credit card debt @ 17%.

I have the following saved via IRAs:
- 401k = $40k
- SEP-IRA = $12k
- ROTH-IRA = $13k

Total ~= $65k in retirement accts

Does it make sense to cash out say 2 of my IRA's EARLY in order to get this debt off my back?

The way i see it is my IRA accounts are NOT making more than im paying in interest and basically it is nonsensical to keep bleeding this money. Only problem is based on my research, i see no less than a 10% penalty on my IRAs... so this will be a very costly way to eliminate my debt.

This debt is a real PAIN in my *** as i am currently unable to save money due to constantly paying the Card (and other recurring bills of course).

Any input will be GREATLY appreciated OR if you have an alternate suggestion, I would love to hear it.

Thank you!!

As a condition of our sale we agreed to replace the living room bay window. Now the buyer is claiming it was installed incorrectly and he can't get the window closed. Obviously we did not opt for an expensive window since we were leaving, and my husband's cousin (who installs windows for his job) installed it as a favor to us, so it wasn't done by an actual company. Do we have any responsibility to fix it since it was a condition of sale, or is it now the buyer's problem?

I work for our family business, I'm sick of having to keep track of who's here on time and who isn't.
Our employer makes us earn our sick leave:
ie: In order for us to earn 4 hours of sick pay (That's only 1/2 a day!!!) we have to have perfect attendence for one month with only one time you're allowed to be late!
I think that an employer should either give sick leave every year automatically or not at all. I do not believe it is fair to make an employee "earn" the right to be sick!
Please give me some sites that I can find information directly on this matter. I'm sure the Texas Workforce Commission would have something to say about their company practices!

It's me again. I did not know that my mortgage broker lied about my income until he told me after the fact. Yes he admitted it to me.He actually used it to tell me how hard he worked for me to get the loan. The original application was filled out in my home with one of his associates and I did not lie. I have requested copies of my file and applkication from him and he threatened me with an attorney. At one point he offered to get me out of this mess and blamed GMAC for putting me in the wrong loan. (they had my social wrong and he tried to tell me that i got someone elses terms). All he did was lie. I am not to blame. How can I get my file?

I ordered the new collection of all the presidential coins from the World Reserve Monetary Exchange. It was a total of $32 for over 500 dollar coins that are never to be minted again. They told me that the coins would be here in about 2 weeks, and that was about 2 1/2 weeks ago. Are they trustworthy? And are these coins regular currency? If so, wouldn't I be making like over $400 is each dollar coin I bought with the set is worth one dollar a piece?! Please tell me your comments about WRME.

I get paid around $800 post-tax every two weeks. I am looking to save for two seperate things. One is for vacations the other amount I would like to put away just to start a savings account. I appreciate any sincere answers...I just graduated college, this is my first job with a steady pay check and I want to be smart about my money! Thank you!

I moved out of the apartment 6/30/2007 and paid my half of the rent for the next month as my 30-day notice to my boyfriend. Things had gotten pretty bad and I had to get out asap especially since I am pregnant. I discussed with him the terms of my moving - I had paid $240 for the electric deposit, which i agreed to allow him to keep, as well as the security deposits so he could have additional cushion to pay move out costs or for next month rent if he decided to get a roommate (it was a 2 bedroom 2 bath). Although I signed myself off the lease on the 30th, he did not sign my name off so I'm still liable for fees if he doesn't pay.

He later decided he would move out and verbally agreed to pay 100% of the move out costs. He will not talk to me and it will be soon turned over to a credit/collections agency if it's not paid. I will pay the costs to avoid having a dent in my credit, I just wanted to know if I could get him to pay it back since he agreed too.

I know you can give someone up to $10,000 a year as a gift. But how much if you gave $150,000? Would it be considered income an the standard income taxes apply, or are the taxes different on large cash gifts?
