Business & Finance - 2 September 2007

I called Macy's online to purchase a bed. The sales rep misunderstood me and thought I wanted to purchase the whole four piece set, which was 2300. She said she deleted the four piece and then charged my card the 900 for the bed. When I was checking my funds online, it still showed both charges to my card (although they were pending). What do I do to get my 2300 back?

I am a freelance writer, so I make money, but not a lot.
I also do editing/proofreading.
I am thinking about getting into selling photos to magazines and such as well.
I have a blog, but those ads really don't bring in the $, though some people claim they make money, I don't buy it.

What creative ways have you found to make money in your spare time? From home. Online is good too.

~~~~~~~~
If anyone posts with those ridiculous links, I will report. Be warned.

My 92 year old Grandmother requires that someone live with her as she cannot return home without a "full time" resident to care for her needs.

She prefers it be myself, as I AM family & for cost purposes also.
I am confused about this scenario & any input would be greatly appreciated!!

My landlord removed mine and my husbands stuff from our house and moved someone else in within a matter of hours. I don't know what I can do about it? In the process of this, they went through our stuff and took jewlery and other possessions of ours. What can I do to show this guy that he can't get away with it?

April 10th of this year I received my great grandmothers will papers in the mail.
I read that I am going to be receiving a small inheritance of $5,000.

Ive never been willed anything before, so I dont really know what Im suppose too do.

In the papers it said something about creditors only having 4 months to collect debt. Starting from the date marked on the papers from her lawyer. (april 10)

I dont understand any of this. : (

anyways,
My family is not trusting. Im worried that they will interfere or simple just not give me my inheritance. I cant contact them either for information.

as of September 10th it will be 4 months.

what am I supposed to expect? How long could it take?

and how will I receive it?


I am clueless about all of this. :(

so I would appreciate any helpful advice

money problems

2007-09-02 17:43:30 · 10 answers · asked by nicecrazylady 1 in Personal Finance

I have the following problem:

Company A generates $1500 in revenue. They disburse $200 in dividends. The company also spends $300 on expenses, and invests $400 in land. Create a balance sheet.


Now, from what I understand: Assets = Liabilities + Stockholder's Equity. So, we have:

$1500(revenue) - $300(expenses) - $400(land) = $800 income. Subtracting the dividend of 200 leaves $600 net income.

No liabilities were listed.

Stockholder's equity would be the retained earnings, which are income (800) minus dividends (200). So, that's $600

600(cash asset) + 400(land asset) = 0(liabilities) + 600(stockholder's equity).

What's up with this? 1000 does not equal 600!

My son is up to date on his rent, however his roommate was not. The landlord said since both guys signed the lease, both had to be evicted.

Okay, that probably sounds like a stupid question, but I read that the number of inquiries about your credit can affect your credit score. It said "This includes promotional inquiries such as solicitations." Since my credit card offers say I'm "pre-approved" based on my credit score, I'm assuming that means they have made inquiries.

So, anyway, thanks. :)

I have never bought a home and am interested in learning. What do people normally negotiate off of a sellers asking price? For example, a 1.4 Million Home located in the San Francisco Bay Area. Im sure there is a lot of things that factors in, but just a ball park figure. THANKS

An attorney I work for knew I was searching for an online/correspondence course in paralegal studies. I'm already a paralegal and only want to further my education.

The attorney highly praised The Paralegal Institute, Inc. out of Phoenix, AZ. I see that this school is accredited by DETC (Distance Education and Training Council). ( http://www.theparalegalinstitute.edu ).

I checked out the school and their accreditor is legit --- recognized by the US Department of Education and Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA).

Sadly, however, I'm reading mixed reviews about DETC accreditation. Many websites praise it, while others say it's worthless. I don't know what to think cuz everythings 50/50!

I know that regional accreditation would be better, however, my only question is: Are degrees accredited by DETC worthless?

Thank you very much for your input.

P.S.: I know my employer approves of it.... but if I leave here, I want to make sure the degree isn't worthless.

I have two programs at my local tech school that I'm interested in:
Radiography & Respiratory Therapy.

Honestly I qualify for either one academically. However, I do not know much about the jobs and wonder if anyone out there could tell me if one job is better than the other and/or if one job pays better than the other....based on personal experience...or based on someone that they know who works one of these jobs.

Thank you!
