We are looking to buy a house in the near future -- problem is my credit isn't so hot and neither is my husband's. (His is better than mine.) What are the steps that we need to take? Paying rent is ridiculous at this point and we just want something of our own.

In other words, can the school get away with doing this legally? Also, aren't they supposed to pay employees at least 2x a month?

I worked part time at a horrible restaurant for 8 years. It was a College and High School job.

I have better experience working at a Credit Union as a Customer Service Rep. Unfortunately that contract was only 4 months and the job was replaced do to technology and downsizng.

I have 5 years of working at various places but never any for so long because I've been in school and doing contracts.

I learned no important skills at the this restaurant job, unlike my credit union job and many other of the short term jobs I've had over the years.


My question is, do I still have to put that I worked at a restaurant PART TIME for 8 years in the SAME POSITION just to show I have "staying power"?

And do I have to give up putting the 4 month contract that I have with the Credit Union because the time there was too shor

I was given a job offer, pending 2 reference checks. They called my current job and asked for the manager (whose name I had listed but who was not there). A coworker (who is not management) who answered the call volunteered to give the reference, and even identified himself as qualified to do so. This person freely discussed me, and subsequently, the job offer fell through. The second reference was not even called.

I am quite upset and would like to know what recourse I have against this coworker or the company itself.

I'm a student and was looking for a new bank closer to where I live now. My current bank is a home-town first bank and I experience ALOT of problems with my debit card getting declined simply bc they are "updating systems" despite the fact that I HAVE PLENTY of money in the account and have had the account for 2 years and have NEVER overdrafted or even come close.

Anyway, I applied online for compass for the "build your own" free checking and got approved. I chose cash back and interest on my balance as my two free premium services. It seems like a pretty good deal to me. But when I searched on here it seems alot of people have had problems out of them? But then again, alot of the "problems" were NSF fees and, in my opinion, that is not the banks fault it is the user's fault for acting irresponsibly with their account! So, from someone who is responsible with your money, how has your experience been with Compass?

A friend of mine is going to buy a house, in my name, for me. The home is $400,000. This is not a loan. So who claims it on their taxes. Do I file it as income or does she tell the IRS she is giving me the money as a gift and I have to pay gift tax? Or does she pay the gift tax? I am very confused and do not know what to do. Please help!

I have $50000 and I need some advice on what to do with it. I am spending more money on rent and living expenses than I make at my job. I can't get a mortage so buying a house is out. I have friend that is a financial adviser ans she wants me to invest. Right now I have the money in a ultra money market account. I am getting the most interest I can get. She is telling me she can get more of a return for me with some simple investments. I am afraid if I don't do something soon the money is going to get spent on just my cost of living expenses. But I have sister that is telling me that if I invest my money I will wind up losing it anyway. She seems to think that the financial adviser is only out for a commision. Right now I am getting a few hundred a month on the money. I am hoping by investing I will get more back a month and this will help me with my bills . The financial adviser gave a an example of a safe and simple investment.

Stock in GE, she said I could get much more money.

I see now there are books on how to sell or be successful on the internet. Is this a sign that it's too late? I don't want to jump on any ban wagon and loose money.

Look at all those people that bought properties to flip. Now they are loosing theirs shirts!
