Hey guys/gals,

Im saving for a new computer and I really need help making money. I am not yet 16, infact I am under 14. I have not considered babysitting as I don't really go well with little kids because they usally somehow get there way and I end playing some really retarded game. I don't know ow to get a car wash up and running as there are about 1,000 people in my area if that and I have wanted this computer for almost 4years. Please if you could give me some ideas.


NOTICE:PEOPLE IN MY AREA AREN'T REALLY BIG FANS OF LEMONADE AS I HAVE TRIED AND I DO NOT ACCEPT SILLY WEBSITE SCAMS WHERE I DO POLLS ITS TRASH AND THEY SCAM YOU SO NO WEBSITES UNLESS THEY HAVE JOBS LISTED FOR ME!!!
[if websites with polls etc... are posted I will report the person who posted it] ALSO PEOPLE HERE OWN MOWERS AND KNOW HOW TO USE THEM SO I THINK THAT WE CAN CROSS LAWNMOWING OFF THE LIST WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Please I really had my eye on a computer and I have wanted this for a very long time! whew!

My husband was intending to start a small side business this year fixing computers. We spent some money to get it going, but we never got around to actually building that business this year (we got too busy with our full time jobs and caring for our son). Thus, we have no income from it.

We might work on getting that business going next year. Since I've already spent some money to get that business going this year, will I still be able to write off those expenses even though there wasn't any income from that business? Or can/should I just wait till tax time in early 2009 to write those off (even though those purchases were made in 2007)?

Thanks in advance for your help.

I'm selling some Jewelry and stuff on eBay under the user id 'ouivalerie' I can't even find my own stuff in a search! They run all the ending items first, so do I have to wait for that to come up? How do I get them to find my sapphire ring for example? Is it catchy words? I put a random search in for sapphire ring and there are almost 9,000 items! I spend already over $300 in fees just to pay for fees. I tried craigslist and I get emails from so many scammers from the UK I'm exhausted.

I want to invest some money in Gold. Where should I look, should I invest in coins, bullion or ETFs? What should I do? What is the most lucrative and what is the most safest should some kind of depression or recession come around?

Please give me the basics.

I'm just doing this because I'm going to be making a major purchase and I don't want to go over half of my credit line. Is this a good idea by paying extra on the credit card and then making that purchase?

offset these (and of course because you want to sell the stock anyway), is it better to take a short term loss or a long term loss? The holding period is right on the edge, so I could sell now for short term loss or hold on for another two weeks, then sell for a long term loss. Normally, long term is preferable, but long terms gains are taxed at a lower rate than short term gains, so it seems reducing the short term gains may be preferable in this case. (Assume stock will remain at constant price, and that the loss will reduce neither the long nor short term gains below zero.) Thank you.

Okay, so my parents decided to move my sister and I out of the house. In doing this, they said they would pay for our apartment for ONE year. They said, "Since we're paying for that, we'll be claiming you on our taxes for this past year".

Um...can they do that? If I dispute it and say, "I have a different address and I'm over the age of 18" can they still claim me? I want to claim myself (or rather, keep myself as an exemption), but they're going to try to claim me too! How do I keep this from happening?
