i am moving to canada permanently. from what i know, my credit score in the united states is based off my social security number, which i will not have in canada. what is to stop me from buying a new car, maxing out credit cards, etc, and disappearing to canada? do they have any way to collect? how would they possibly find me in canada and how would they collect across borders, if they even can?

i understand it will DESTROY my credit in the united states, but if i have no intention of ever coming back, i can't see the drawbacks to this.

let me add in before anybody says it. i have no family in the united states, literally NEVER intend on coming back, and have no moral conscience. i won't feel bad, i just want to know what will happen, if anything.

no coverup answers, ie
- canada doesn't want you. i don't care.
- that's a horrible thing to do. i don't care.
- you will regret it later. i don't care.

i just want to know if the united states will have any way of collecting the debt.

I want to contribute to a Roth IRA to plan for my retirement. But I currently live and work in a foreign country and all of my income is excluded from US taxes per form 2555 and the "foreign earned income exclusion".

According to documents I could find on the IRS website: "any amounts that you exclude from income, such as foreign earned income" is not considered "compensation" and so cannot be counted towards what I can contribute to an IRA.

However, I contacted a tax professional and he commented that: "To my knowledge, there is nothing wrong with optimizing the exclusion to leave enough income to contribute to an IRA. Generally, this is done either by using the dates in the physical presence test to leave a little income".

I would like to know if this is true. Or if anyone has any knowledge about this. Would fudging the dates for the physical presence test be considered lying to the IRS? (and in doing so would I be commiting fraud?)

I get off work at 7am then I have an interview at 10:30am- when I'm typically sound asleep. I'll have a chance between work and the interview to get some breakfast and a cup of coffee, but I'm still worried I'll look tired and that will effect my chances of getting the job. Do you think I should mention I just got off work or will that seem like I'm fishing for pity?

If you can help me, what do you think of this opportunity www.dolphincommunications.net. I am seriously looking for feedback on this specific program not just the opinions of the subject in general. Thanks.

Just got a letter from landlord for a rent rise to be effective next month, and because I will refuse, he will write eviction notice which gives me 30 days to vacate the room, the problem is that I am flying away for a month next week, which means that I will be away while the eviction notice period end (if he gave it to me before I fly). I have told him (verbally) two weeks ago that I will be leaving for a month.
So he is putting me in such a tight situation!

Any informative help will be appreciated.

Additional Details:
# It is an assured tenancy contract. shared house, Landlord doesn't live with us, and its located in London.

# I pay the rent on monthly basis.

# the tenancy agreement states clearly that either me or the landlord can give 4 weeks notice to terminate the contract.

# the contract says clearly the rent increase is to comply with provisions of Landlord and Tenant Act section 85 (any explanation please?)

# It is my 8th month in this property.

Thanx

What is a job that a 19 year old girl who graduated high school but is not going to college can do from home. Dont day babysitting or petsitting or anything like that.

I have social anxiety and I am extremely shy so I can't do public jobs. I have blown every interview I have ever gone to. I need a job that I can do from home. ASAP!!!!

I already sell Avon, and I dont make much from that, because I am too shy to go out and sell it so I only sell to family

I just read the Grand Rapids press and how we are in debt 1.1 billion dollars.

Well they raised the personal income tax rate from 3.9 to 4.35 percent. I'm only 12, and I'm doing a report on this, so how will this affect us?

I am currently looking at colleges, either a 4-year (public or private) or possibly a community college. I already have most of my college paid for with the help of my parents if I wanted to go away, but I would probably still have some student loans. If I stayed home I would save a lot of money and would not have to take out any student loans, allowing me to further invest the money currently set aside for college. If I worked 30-40 hours a week at around $10-15/hr along with attending classes would it be wise/acceptable to purchase a $20-25k car? I will have some other expenses along with the monthly car payments, but I won't have rent or anything since I will be living at home.

Thanks!

I found bits and pieces of my question in other posts but I am going to ask it here in whole. Thanks.

A company thinks their stock is overvalued and doubles the number of outstanding shares (e.g. 2 for 1 split) and cuts the price in half resulting in no immediate market value change.

As an investor you see in your brokerage account the number of shares double while the price falls by half resulting in a net market value change of zero.

What about your cost basis?

Let's say you have only been buying shares (never sold any) of one stock and that you are using the average cost basis your broker calculates for you. All of a sudden the price of those split shares dropped by 50% so if you decided to sell some shares right after the spilt could you potentially even sell at a capital loss and get a tax deduction (more likely the taxable earnings will be less)?

Basically how is your cost basis effected since the stock's price "artificially" went down? Good time to sell?
