I just started my own buisness as a photographer doing photo shoots outside of a studio. I don't have a lot of money since I just bought my new camera and need to advertise around the close areas to my home. I tried papers but they honestly don't have a place for my ad that works and want triple the price because of that one problem. Any wonderful suggetions on advertising would be greatly appreciated. I am limited on money so please think low cost!
Thanks!

here's the deal - I am married have 2 kids in college and 1 in high school. Each year we pay taxes because my husband makes pretty good money. - i am claiming 0 dependents at my very low paying job - my employer is starting a new retirement program where they will match up to 4% of my contributions. should I claim 2 dependents and sock the difference away in this retirement because it's pretax? and will i still end up paying taxes and maybe even more since i will be claiming 2 rather than the 0 I am claiming now??

I really want to buy a home soon but I can't stand sellers holding out for unrealistic prices.

My offers are in line with what houses having been selling at in the past six months. However, sellers aren't looking at the past six months, they are looking at 2005 prices and expecting at least 10% on top of that price.

How are other buyers conviencing people to accept these lower prices? Even properties that should have motivated sellers (probate and relocated sellers paying two mortgages) are still sitting empty for months.

I tried using a buyer agent but they just want me to bid 2005 prices. I also tried scheduling out how much the seller was spending waiting for the "right" offer and listing the recent sales - it made no difference.

Any tips?

I've seen a lot of questions in the genre of "I did ____ and now I have a drug test tomorrow, will it still be in my system?" questions, and many of the answers follow the "dude you're screwed" idea.

From an employability stand point, if someone is sure that they cannot pass a drug test what is the best response for the employee. Take the test and fail, refuse the test/quit the job (seems to be the consequence if you refuse), or . . . ?

Not that I have a real need for the info, but I'm curious. I've always wondered what people did, and what they should have done. All relevant responses are appreciated.

My insurance provider is refusing to pay my medical bills from surgery I had last August. They claim it was pre-existing however a review of my medical records will show that this is / was not pre-existing. Do I sue the insurance company or does anyone have any suggestions? The total amount of the bills owed are around $2000 not to mention the derrogatory effect the outstanding bills are having on my credit. I don't have an extra $2000 laying around to pay them all. I would owe nothing if the insurance company would do their part. I have paid all my co-payments. Anyone have a fantastic suggestion to rid myself of this burden once and for all. I have had about..no kidding...30 phone calls with the insurance provider to no avail.

My boyfriend and I have decided to buy a house. We know that it's a "buyer's market" right now and our apartment lease is up in March so we've started looking. The part that scares me is that we don't have a lot of cashed saved...only about $5k presently, with no family to help out. We've both got pretty good credit. But I'm hearing that lenders are not really offering 80/20 mortgages anymore and PMI is a killer. The homes we're interested in are all around $200k... so there's just no way we'll come up with 5% in time and closing costs too...
Can anyone share their experiences?? Can we do this with so little cash saved? I don't want to compromise on the house price because I know we have the income to afford the payments...We are willing to wait awhile, but what if a great house shows up on the market SOON?
Thanks in advance!

I don't really want to say here what movie it is, but it's a pretty simple name, only 2 words and they are not unique words. So would this be a violation? I did a search with the trademark website and no one has trademarked this particular name for bath and body products or anything similar. Although, there is a drape company with the same name.

I am moving to Brazil to go to work for the next 18 months to 2 years. I believe if you are out of the country for so many days and do not return you do not have to pay taxes on your money.

Do you know if one is covered under Worker's Compensation while traveling directly from home to work and back again? This is not paid time, nor does the employer give reimbursement for mileage.

I have been put on bed rest and can no longer work. My job didn't offer extended medical insurance, so I lost that too. I'm only half way through my pregnancy and have lots of medical bills coming my way. Is there any kind of assistance I can get? My husband is a full time collage student and can't work because of his classes. Even if he got a job, it wouldn't cover any medical bills.
