I am a lawyer, we are dealing with real estate agents. Most of them are hardly punctual.

Agreed time is 5pm. They came at 6pm.

Tell me how to educate them / teach them lessons to be punctual, to always be punctual.

I was wondering If you find a little chest buried that has some gold coins inside and you want to declare it how much will the goverment take, you know if they take most of it or they just collect a tax, because in other countries the goverment takes almost everything declaring it nation's property and they just give you a tiny percent of it, so I was wondering if the same happens here un USA, how would it work.

I've been working at a retail job for almost a year. I would really, really like to quit and go back to school. If I go to school I want it to be my complete focus. I still live with my parents so I don't have to pay for housing and I can the train straight to school. However I'm not sure how to quit my job. Any ideas. I'd like to leave right after Christmas.

So over two years ago I was a idiot and addicted to the online gambling world. I had placed bets at poker sties etc. Well recently the transaction company that funded my account was a offshore company called Citadell Commerece. Apparently I had multiple checks that bounced. They gave my debt to a horrible company collections company in the U.S..Collection company has constantly calling, and harassing me since they received the debt. I actually disputed the debt by mail and received nothing back. They actually told me they never received my dispute. I know the way thec collection company is handling it is unethical but should I be worried about this effecting my credit report. Collection company is a american company but the gambling site was offshore and and the company that accepted payment was offshore. Does collection even have the legal ability to put this on my credit report since it was a illegal transaction to beging with?

Does anyone know an estimate of having a house built that is 2800 ft sqared? We would like to have 4 bedrooms on main floor, a small office, a dining room, living room, and kitchen (all 3 open), a bathroom and a half bath in master bedroom. A full finished basement with a small kitchen, furnace room, laundry room, storage room, bathroom, and small bedroom. All the rest is open. Any estimates would be great. Want to get some opinions before we go to a contractor.

If one had an unsecured credit debt, that has been charged off, is there any advantage to settling with an agency? That is, it was listed as an R9 charge-off on the credit report, for around 2K, and another around 6K, but with separate agencies. They say this is the last month, then it could go to an attorney, where you have no negoitable rights, that is they wouldn't settle for anything less. What if you have no property of any kind to protect, and you really can't pay a lump sum, but can only over small payments? Why pay it off, if it still says R9 on the credit report? Sounds like no real deal?

Everyone says it's attributed to the carry trade collapse. I just don't see a fundamental correlation to that. Are a majority of stock buyers also carry trade investors?

I've been approached by a representative of this company with a job offer. Their buisiness model is somewhat unconventional (not that I have a problem with unconventional). They use what is called "multi-level marketing". I know enough about this buisiness model to know that some multi-level marketing companies are little more than pyramid schemes. However, I also know that not all multi-level marketing companies are pyramid schemes, and Amway was investigaved for it and cleared of it already by the FTC clear back in 1979. Here, almost 3 decades later, their buisiness is still alive and kicking, which is a good sign.

I know they are a legitamate buisiness, and their buisiness model is legal. But I do want to know if they are a good opportunity or not.

Has anyone out there had experience with them? Was it good or bad? And what exactly did you do for them? Any info, positive or negative, is welcome.

Thanks, and God bless!

how do i deal with these creditors, i was out of work for 10 weeks with no pay due to a major surgery. I plan on paying everything back and to be current again, but some of these people want 300, 400 or more at a time and threaten if i do not pay that much a month, my account will be sent to legal collections.
I just can afford payments like these, how do i handle or "haggle" with them, im currently in a debt consolidatin program but they wont accept some of my bills...please help
ohh, "borrowing" money is not an option, i dont have enough credit to get a loan, and i have no friends or family that can loan me money, i see these people are trained to ask you that as if it's no big deal.

My parents had signed on a house we like that we want to rent. The paper work and everything has been signed ect. except that was all two days ago. My mother called our Realtor yesterday and she said the home owner who is renting the house out to us was in Mexico at the time, but like I said that was two days ago and we still havent heard anything. We still need to put a payment down on the house for rent. I need hear back from them so I can schedule days off from work to move. We are all getting frustrated we want things to start moving and this guy isnt even responding. Why??? My mother doesnt want to call our Realtor again because she said she will call us as soon as she hears something.

I was on Forbes.com and I was looking at the most expensive houses. One of them was $165 million and had 29 rooms and 40 bathrooms. Why would it have 40 bathrooms?? Do people spend more time in the bathroom when they have a big house?

I have been writing in my hedge fund blog called the Richard Wilson Hedge Fund Blog for several months now. I have about 75 people/day coming to read my articles but I'm not sure who they are.

My question is, does the general public have an interest in learning more about hedge funds even if they will never want to or be qualified to invest in them? I'm trying to figure where most of my web traffic will be coming from in the future. It might be that I never get a HUGE following on my hedge fund blog simply because most people invest in stocks and mutual funds.

If you want to see who I am or what my hedge fund blog looks like first they are online at

Thanks in advance for your input.
