When you activate the card the sticker says to also sign the back of the card. I never sign my cards, and the cashier people never mind. What is the purpose of signing the back anyways?

Hello,

I am trying to enroll in my benifits for a job that I was newly hired for. I am adding my dependents and then it asks me the relation ship. On the drop down menu the options were taxable child and non-taxable child. What does that mean? There is no explanation of the options. Any ideas? Our benifits cover your children up to age 25. I have a 9 and 13-year-old. Is it asking if your children pay taxes?

There are companies saying that they will give you 10% out of the 90% that is processed by you. The remaining money has to be sent by Western Union. Which is 90%. Has anyone ran into something like this?

They teach you how to manage your own money by investing it into stocks but without the use of advisors...so you're your own boss. They provide the training, software and support.

Just wanted to know if anyone has heard of them...the good and the bad.

Here's their website:

I'm currently a waitress and would like to know if some of you other servers have little tricks to increase tips. I've found that giving little dollar store toys to fussy kids and having my nails done (clean and hygienic looking, I guess) greatly increases my tips.

Please, no customer suggestions unless it's unique because no offense, but if you haven't served, you probably don't get it. Most of you will give me vague, common sense responses like "Be prompt, friendly, and make sure my drink is always filled, etc." and well, those are "DUH" answers...obviously I'm not thinking "Oh, I think I'll let them sit there with an empty glass for a while and I think I'll just stand here for 20 minutes instead of greeting them".

I have this freind and he is past 40,and has done nothing for a job except flip burgers and deliver pizzas. He bought a house over 2 years ago and
lives alone.His mortgage is $700.00 per month.
He is now having so much money trouble he got
his cell phone shut off,internet cut off,cable TV cut off. Whats next.I ask him what is wrong? He says Tips are down right now. Doesn't most pizza places
charge like $1.50 delivery charge and most that goes to the driver for a tip?
I told him to get a better job,What is he going to be able to find with his kind of work experience?
I think he is doomed.Also has 20K in credit card
debt and his car is a 1991 Ford on its last leg.
It looks its going to take a miracle like winning the
lottery for him to get out of this mess. He is also
a 2 plus pack a day smoker and has trouble breathing.

I got a copy of my credit report and sent letters to the various collection agencies asking for them to verify my debt. Three of the letters came back as undeliverable.

I would like to start repairing my credit but since the addresses are no longer valid, what should I do next? I don't want to send money to agencies that no longer exist/own my debt.

I purchased some large ticket items in Washington (8.6% sales tax) this year and I'd like to deduct them through the sales tax deduction. However, now that I took a job in Idaho, am I going to be better off taking the Idaho state income tax deduction on my Federal return? Am I right in believing that I can't do both?

I will probably get a job offer, a very good one actually related to my experience. I suspect the pay will be much better than my current job. I hate my current job, the people I work with and the situation I'm in....I am older, more professional, however, if I get the job offer do I really owe them two weeks notice?

I signed up, but it is hard to trust them. I only invested $50 in it, and will not invest anymore until that $50 starts making some kind of a profit. Does anyone else have experience with the site? Let me know what you think.
