I do not have a normal place of work like an office. Normally, I go to one home then back to mine. Occasionally, I go from one home to another to another in an afternoon. If I'm able to deduct mileage, how do I document that?

I am currently in a masters program. I pay $8400/ year for tuition. My employer remiburses up to $5000/year. Therefore, I am paying a net cost of $3400 out of pocket. Can I claim the $3400 as a tax deduction? No one claims me as a dependent.

My credit card interest rate jumped beyond what auto loans finance at. IF the titles are with me can I take an auto loan on the cars and use that amount to pay off credit card debt that was incurred at a higher interest rate.

I want to know because after reading about all the debt that you/people are all in in this credit category I don't want the big dollor low intrest rate no fees credit card that are allowing people to spend like theres no tomorrow. Like no fees 9 % rates or lower, 10,000 and up credit rate . I will never spend more than $300 dollors on my credit card for something and will not use it again untill i pay off that in 3 months. Everything eles will be done with the debit card. I think some people are better off with the low credit rate credit cards with the 19 % plus rates to keep them under controll .

What are they buying to get in 10,000 to 26,000 dollors in credit card debt ending up fileing bankrupcy that they can't wait to get??

that the central air and furnace units are past prime (circa 1987) and need to be replced. The sellers agent didn't put oil in for us to test the furnace-maybe they knew the issue?-so we weren't able to operate it but the inspector went on it's age and avg life expectancy and the AC blew a 4% diff so it is shot. Otherwise house was in good shape-roof is good for at least 10 years and she said it is in great shape for it's age (built in 73). Our agent is well, peeved that the other agent didn't fill the tank and that the heat and ac are not in good shape. She said that we need to ask for either credit of the cost of a new heat pump (around $4,000) or tell them to pay all closing costs. She asl found out after checking the sign in log at the house that an inspection was done about a month ago, called that agent and her clients got the same info on the place and pulled the offer. The house dropped 14,000 in price since. What are the odds we can get them to work with us on this?

I am filling out an employment application for a company from which I had received a job offer. One of the questions they ask me is to explain any gaps in my employment history. I have had one (for 7 month) 2 years ago, for very personal and tragic reasons, major life changing experiences, and relocation. How do I state it in the application, without having to recap everything that had happened to me?

Appreciate your help!

I'm 17 and I just opened a checking account at a local bank a week or so ago. In order for me to have my checking account my Mom had to add me onto hers which gives her full access to my money. (I earn this money at my job and I'm trying to save, its not like she puts the money in there its all mine) I didn't think there would be any problems but I went to the bank last night to take money out and the teller told me there wasn't enough. I asked for a printout and it said that there was funds transfered from my account into my Mom's. I gave her money the other day too. I had no knowledge of this. I'm asking if there is any way that I can secure my account? Or are there any other ways for me to open my own? I think I might have my boyfriend co-sign on another one with me. How should I react to this though?

Here in U.K. we have had the worst floods for years, up road from me in gloucester, they got severly hit, 1 of the reasons were, yes good old Goverment cut back on the flood defences, also they insisted houses are to be built on flood plains. So why dont they build houses that can rise or built on stilts of some sort. This in turn will cut insurance claims down, but most importantly people will not loose their precious sentimental things. (before any-one says well dont buy a house on flood plains, some of these house are social housing to.so they have no choice where the council puts them.)
