Over the past 3 years, he has a felony and several lesser convictions against him including a DUI. All others are related to possesion. He's also spent 4-5 months over the past year in jail.

He applied for several entry level, minimum wage job at places like home depot and walgreens. Nobody would hire him after doing the background investigation.

He has turned his life around but now he can't even get a job at a mc. donalds. What options are left? It seems kind of sad to me that we live in a society where after making a few mistakes you're pretty much forced to become a begger or homeless. Fortunately my parrents have let him stay with them but this isn't a long term solution.

What can he do to get out of this hole? How long do those convictions show up on his record? Is there any hope for him? Are there any jobs that will hire a person in his situation?

I have terrible credit....my FICO sore is under 500. My fiance' has great credit, but won't qualify for the full amount on her own, and we want to but a house. i obviously will not get financed, so is it possible, even with my terrible credit, to get financed for my half of the mortgage with a great co-signer (my father), or am i just grasping at straws? by the way, the house we want to buy is owned out-right by her father and HER(he paid cash for it), so does that present any other options, where my name can be on the mortgage, not just the deed?

I already have a 4-year degree with a major in chemistry, but it seemed like I wasted my time and money, since without experience my degree is useless. No one hires anyone anymore just because they have a degree. So what's the point in all the online degrees? What good can come from spending 2 years online for a degree, but still no work experience??

My wife left me with the house and the mortgage, and all the bills. I can't afford it, even if I stick with the necessities and ramen noodles. I want to get out of the house. My wife (whom I'm divorcing) doesn't want the house. Should I take a chance and let it foreclose, or is there anything I can do where my credit doesn't get hurt all that bad? (I realize it's going to take a beating)

My father put a CD up for collateral for a personal loan. The loan matured and a balance of $3,800 is owed. The cd is larger and I can not pay the balance of the loan. The bank is going to take the balance from the CD and the loan will be settled. My father does not understand my temporary situation and is telling me he will take me to small claims court and put a judgement against my home (which is not on the original loan). Is that possible?

Why would anyone take money out of an asset that appreciates to finance a liability that depreciates? If you can't afford to pay for the car outright, it's probably out of your price range! A Ford Focus can get you to the grocery store just as quickly as the H3 Hummer and uses less fuel. Is an H3 Hummer really worth the possibility of foreclosure? I don't understand how these people get through life the way they handle money.

I have a relative that wants to take over my mortgage but she cannot get approved for a loan because she have a low fico score. I want to help her out, that's why I want to find out if it's ok to transfer the title to her name and I remain on the mortgage. Will it work if we do that? What's the best way for us?

The co-worker said you weren't doing your job and making things up like telling your boss u said u didnt care about your job or if they fired you-things like that, that arent true, hiding important paperwork and things u need to do your job. How would you handle it? (U can't go to your boss because he thinks the situation is petty & silly and yet it does affect your job and the way he treats you?)
