We want to buy a chunk of land and get a custom/modular home built on it.. Does anybody have any suggestions, tips, websites to look at, or just plain person stories of your own experience with doing this? Anything would be helpful. Thanks.

do I close my other cards accounts or do I leave them open in case of emergencies?

(Also, just found out that one of my cards that I paid off just gave me a positive bump in credit. A REALLY BIG BUMP. What should I do?)

my friend had a car and had it repo'd around 7 yrs ago. actually she called the car lot and told them to come get the car, they never did. it sat in her yard for years. they found out her phone number and somehow took over her phone. if I try to call her it goes to this car credit place. her husband tried to call and the same thing happened to him. she can not call out on her phone. she has a boy in school, the school cannot call,. IS THIS LEGAL? how are they doing this?

I went for an interview yesterday. Originally i went in for a telemarketing position knowing they had a secretarial/administrative position available. At first he said the position was filled and by the end of the interview I had the job for secretarial/administrative. I was shocked - I have the experience for this job somewhat but am feeling abit lost - today was my first day. Do I write a thank you letter to the employer as it seems like a family run small business and everybody is tight nit with eachother. Is there any websites to study secretarial/office politics and what is expected ?? I am so lost and yet really like the people there..i feel like I don't deserve this job even though I know i can handle it. And another thing, I'm 26 yrs old and because I'm petite and look between 19 - 21 yrs...I feel really small and look like the youngest in the company. It's a really important position and my first time having my own desk...I want to keep this job - HELP! Any advice pls

We also have recently purchased a new car. Our payments are $561 a month on the car. Would it be worth it to take some of what we make on the sale of the house to pay off or at least pay down the car loan. The interest rate on the car loan is 9% and we owe $33,000 on it. We hope to buy our next house for about $230 - 250 K and put down at least $35,000. Thanks

The job I really want is a Technical Support Person with regular work hours..all I have to do is review the manuals HR gave me and let them know by Monday...although I'm familiar with the product...I'd have to learn some electric and wiring set up...not to do it but to troubleshoot if someone called which would be set up like a procedural system...I'm figuring you should be able to learn most anything in 3 months...(my trial period)

The other job...well....I already know I can do it...Store Management....the hiring manager called back with a counter offer even after I'd given the courtesy call to refuse their offer...to be honest I've already given them their answer....I want normal working hours, I do not want a job to become my life ever again...and this being a new business venture...what happens if this man decides to bail.........Am I obligated to talk with this man....Haven't I shown professional courtesy?????

My husband and I have been seperated for over a year with no paperwork filed. Last year we filed married and split the money because we had lived together 6 mths out of that year.

But I need to know if I should change my filing status from married to another because this year we cannot file married because we have lived apart for over a year.

Currently I file no exemptions and our 2 children live with me and have since July of 06. But we have no custody agreement. In order for me to file head of household, do I need to change my filing status with my job?

I just want to avoid any unnessacary fees or penalties. Any incite would be helpful. Thank you.

I have tried several different things, which all turned out to be work at home businesses or opportunities. I am only looking for a work at home JOB so I can be home with my kids and still have an income. I have experience in the Data Entry field, so anything within that range that pays an hourly fee would be a good start for me. If anyone has any advice, referrals, please help. Thanks

For example, why am I charged for 'touch tone' dialing? At $1.50 per line no less! Do the phone companies really support rotary dialing phones anymore? And do we need federal excise taxes plus state excise taxes plus sales tax, plus other fees and taxes? Shouldn't that be a part of pricing?

I live in Texas. There are all kinds of taxes on my bill which are apparently legit, as they tax my phone, internet service, & cable service. However, they have also taxed pay-per-view movies, etc. How do I determine if what are truly taxable items? Thanks

On the tracking for my number it says my delivery should be delivered on Monday, Sept 17th. However in the details it says that at 7:18 this morning my item went out for delivery in my neighborhood.

Should I be expecting it today, or still Monday?
