I spoke with an accountant and she said " the ball is only worth what it costs at the store and until the guy sells it for whatever price, he should only be taxed on that, the original cost. So, I don't get it. Who's right?

I'm not sure how to put this question. I recieved some money orders and need to cash them (it is work related) and I was just wondering if there is a way that I can verify that they are real and that I will have no problem depositing them in my bank.

I was taken for a ride by a mortgage broker. He lied to me about the terms of my loan, lied on my application about my income, and lied about numerous other things. Now I am stuck in a horrible loan where my pricipal is rising unless I make this enormous payment. I can't afford my payment and I also can't afford a ton of legal fees. I filed a complaint with the attorney general of my state, but that didn't do much. I need help!!!

I have a 5-year fixed to adjustable rate mortgage which has 3 more years before it starts adjusting. The current rate is 5.5% on the loan. The principal is at $527K. Should I think about altering the loan to a 30-year fixed at 6.75% (which is still a historically low rate)? The adjustment would cost about $1000. I'll probably be staying in this home for a long time, and I would hate to be priced out of it in a few year if the rate went really high (like double digits).

Thanks in advance!

Making the assumption that one has good/excellent credit and can actually get a decent loan, should I look at buying a house now or in 8 months? I know that buying a house is always a "great investment", however that doesnt necessarily make the decision a whole lot easier. Anyone want to share their opinion?

Our landlord has not told us the home we rent is in foreclosure. I found out through notices addressed to him in the mail and through a website listing our home in foreclosure. As it is we pay rent a month in advance and have decided to pay on time instead so that we do not lose a whole months rent if asked to leave. Sorry to say we do not trust our renter because he has not been honest with us. When this home sells, how long will we have to find a new place? Also, shouldn't the bank be getting our rent money...especially if rent is more than his mortgage? I am really just concerned about what this means for us and options available? Anyone ever been in this situation?

I know savings accounts and CDs hardly give any return and I have no clue how to deal with stocks, bonds, or mutual funds.

So, where would you invest money?

Thanks! :)

I might be starting a new job where the employer does not take taxes out of my check. How do I go about paying my taxes on this income? Can I take it to the IRS office and say this is income I've made but need to pay taxes, how much will it be? I would like to pay the taxes before I spend the money so I don't have to pay a whole bunch later at one time. Basically how do I pay those taxes right away instead of waiting until the end of the year and paying a lump sum. Also I don't think I will be filing a W-4 with them what do I do as far as that? Thanks

What is the process of getting the bank to lower payments?
