My husband's father would like to name my husband as partial owner on his completely paid for home. We are still renter's. Is there anything that could be bad about this when we go to buy a home of our own?

My husband and I will be looking to buy a house soon, within the next two years. We are relatively young, recently out of college, lots of student loan debt, some credit card debt (~5k) and we own nothing. I do have about 5k set aside for a down payment and I am still adding to that fund.
Are we being realistsic about owning a home on the next couple of years?

I don't mean as an artist or anything like that, just have a job with one. I love hip hop music, it is my anti drug and has many a time kept me from doing stupid things. And it by far the one thing I could work with for the rest of my life. SO how could I go about making this dream a reality?

I work in a hotel in Colorado, and at this job I am currently making $8/hr. (Not great, believe me) Anyway, my brother works in a machine shop and a friend of me works for an internet company. They also make $8/hr each. Upon visiting the bank one day, I realize I usually pay between $20-$30 more on taxes a week then they do. We are all within a year or two of age, same marital status, same pretty much everything. We even work in the same city. Does anyone know why my taxes are so much higher? Is there a way I can get them to come down?

My brother has lived in an elite suburb for about 20 years. The well-off people who buy homes in this area, for the last 5 years, have started tearing the existing homes down to build new ones regardless of what shape the existing home is in. They are after the land in that area and have money to burn.

He is now trying to sell his home and suddenly the powers that be in this 'town' put a condition on his plot of land saying that if a new home is built there, it can only be half the size of the old home. This has killed not only the value of his home but any sale that could have been made. Is this legal?

1. What are the total contributions allowed per year for each - IRA, Roth IRA and 401k? assuming the person is in his early 30's.

2. Let's say this individual wants to retire in his mid-50's, which funds can be withdrawn out of the 3, without any penalties?

3. Finally, can this person also get his Social Security income when he reaches in his 60's, while still living on his IRA, Roth IRA and 401K savings? can all 4 be an income source for this individual?

Many thanks! :)

They are going to put it back into my account, but because they did it without my knowing...I didn't have the money in the acct. Which means I have about 150.00 in overdraft fees that weren't my fault!!! The bank won't remove them because they say that Commerce should pay it for making the mistake. My question is, will Commerce bank pay for the OD fees they caused, or will I be out the money for their mistake??!?! :(
