Im looking to start doing this, and was wondering what i should charge. Don't say nothing because im looking to make money on this. If you can, state if you would expect them to supply the lights and how much would you pay for them to supply the lights, and how much would you pay for them to just put up your lights?

I have been all over the IRS website and I can not find how much more one would receive if they were to get married and claim his wife as a dependent for the whole year of 2007 since she did not work at all? Its it a percentage? Is it flat amount? Is it based on husbands pay? Any one with the best info to help me out?? Thank you but please don't say look up the website of IRS..I have been on it for an hour and can't find any infomormation...OOh and chart if possible of what amount each deductable is would be great as well. Thanks again!

... leave to the care of a professional (such as one working for an investment firm/co.) to deal with?

For someone not sound in the advanced elements of investing, these two seem to be virtually the same (controlled by someone else other than that who owns them). Obviously, though, they are not the same... thanks guys

I have my car insurance with geico and on the "coverage details" page i'm looking at, it says that i have a $500 ded. (comprehensive) and a $1000 ded. (collision). Geico explained this to me before, but I really don't remember exactly what this means. Can someone please explain this to me so I know if I need to make changes or not? Thanks.

I just got a call back for a job interview for friday Nov. 17th, I have to take 3 professional references. I have in mind a college prof, my supervisor from an internship I did, and my lawyer (whom I have not worked for but I'm being interviewed for a paralegal job). are they good pro references? How can I ask them through email for a reference b/c I don't have time to go to sit in their office and talk to them, etc. Can this be done through email? is it okay for me to ask them if I can use them AS a reference (name, phone, etc) or I have to take a letter they wrote on behalf of me....someone help me with this.

I'm currently employed at my first "real" job out of college and am looking for my next job. Since I've only been out of college for two years, how far back should I list my previous experience? Do I list organizations I was involved in during college (the organizations are relevant to my work field)?

Also, I currently have a weekend job working for an upscale retail store. It doesn't have anything to do with my field, but the store is related to one of my main hobbies. Should I list that position, even though it's only a part time weekend job? I was a part of the staff when we opened the store and it shows that I have team building skills (we literally gutted an entire shop and rebuilt it from scratch in a week).

My mother passed away in May 2004. She left the house in a trust to be sold when her husband moved out. He moved this summer, the house sold, and I will get about $15K from the sale.
Is that $15K taxable to me? If so, should someone be sending me a 1099? Who would send it to me, the closing company, title company???

Hello,

I am 27 years old and I'm trying to resolve some bad credit issues. I accrued about $7000 of debt (now about $12000 with finance charges) in college, which now, 5 years later, has all gone to collections and/or has been charged off.

After college I didn't have a job and stopped paying my cc's. When I finally got a job it was paying $10 an hour and I couldn't afford to pay what had then become the minimum payment, sending most of my accounts to collections.

I've paid off the accounts under $1000 so far on my credit report, including chargeoffs. Was paying the chargeoffs a good idea? I hear it's pretty much useless paying them off once an account has been charged off. Recently I also had an account go to the National Arbitration Forum. SCARY!

I have 3 other good-standing credit card accounts (all with a low balance for people with bad credit because I have a 558 credit score). The only things left are 3 chargeoff accounts which are over $1000 each. What should I do?
