I started as lone Filipino driver/cleaner for a portable toilet rental company in Macau.In 3 mos time I was promoted to Chief, Operations with other Filipinos working under my supervision. I was reponsible for the overall operation of the said company business. If any one out there needs a worker for the same business, I'm currently unemployed and availble for any position in the said business.

Hi,
I am currently in a High deductible HSA plan of my company. I have added by son also to my policy so I am considered family for the purpose of contribution, so I am allowed to put in $5700/year. My wife has her own policy from her employer. The question is this. My wife's employer is also now offering an HSA plan and is also going to contibute to her plan. In this context, can she also establish a HSA account in addition to the one I have. If so what would be her limit for the year. Will we as a family have a total limit of $5700 or will it be $5700 for me and $2850 for her.

Can anyone confirm.

Thanks

HI,

My friend hooked me up with an appointment with Primerica, and I have already attended one of their meetings. I can get the job 100% if I want to. The question is... do I WANT to?!?!

It says on Wiki that this is the biggest financial service organization in North America. At the meeting, they talked about how I didn't need an education, they will accept eveyrone. Our schedule is flexible to whatever we want. We go through a training program which usually takes around 3-6 months, depending on how fast you want it. After that, we take a licence exam and can start communicating with clients on our own. We can earn $800 for 2-4 hours of advising for our clients. HOWWWW????? How do we not need education? How can we earn that much so quick??? WTF is going on?

Anyone have experience with Primerica? I am a full time university student so I'll be doing this part time (they allow it) if I decide to. I want to know whether or not its a good idea to continue with this.

I went and got a plat map from the county and between that and our legal description it has become clear that the community park is on a rather large portion of our property. We pay taxes and have our mortgage on this property and the park equipment was put up in the early seventies. Do we have anything to worry about in that is there any way that the town can say too bad?

For instance, the property we are buying, the guy we are purchasing refuses to take his property off our land. Can we make him? It isn't mentioned in the contract. Also, we replaced the hot water heater after we moved in, he is insisting on having the old one. Shouldn't it rightfully belong to us? Also, we just found out he knew the property was infested with termites, but did not tell us, and sold us the house "as is". What can we do?

I got notice from Social Security today that I was overpaid in 2006. Now, they want their money back. Within 30 days. Over 6 grand.

Wow! What a hit to the solar plexis! "We made a mistake, so pay it back. Right now."
If I don't pay it, they will simply stop sending me any checks for the next 7 months.

I am not good with finances. But my husband is. And we have an accountant who makes out our tax forms every year. And then, there's the SS office itself who helped me get my benefits started. Don't you think one of them would have noticed that a mistake had been made?

I've been sick over this all day. How can the folks who run SS sleep at night? They sure know how to hurt.

Now, my question... we sold our home and made about $75,000 profit this year. We are now both over 65. Will SS come at us again next year, to make me pay back what they paid me this year, because of this income? If they do, we won't be able to survive. All we will have to live on is our SS

So it rewards more for work and investment (less personal and corporate income taxes),but punishes idle assets like idle investments and luxurious consumption? Because income taxes,especially for lower income people,happen to be bad for the economy,so people won't have as much as they would to spend on everyday things.

Wouldn't the burden of taxes be less for that person than another person who lived in a state with an income tax structure,even the state without an income tax would have a more regressive tax structure?

This is a long question, hope someone can answer.

OK, so I'm 14 and in the 9th grade. Ever since I've been in preschool, I've gone to a Christian school all my life, up until this year. This is the same for my 12 year old sister. Not this school year, but the past, my parents got divorced, and my mom suffered a few financial difficulties. We moved out of our house and put it up for sale, and, unknown to us, my mom told the school she'd pay the year's tuition off at the end of the year with the money we'd get from selling the house. Well, what do you know, the house didn't sell. My mom is now in debt of 7,000 dollars to the school and we're going to a public school this year. Going to this school just flat out sucks. I have no friends, I'm barely social, and it has caused my sister and I some emotional problems (i.e. seperation anxiety, on/off depression).

I'll be adding more, please don't answer until you've read it all.

I am a Field Service Engineer. I make around 55K/year with 3 years of experience. Friends that graduated in the same class make around 60K+. My questions is the following. My employer pays me a low 42K base salary the 13K left is dived into 2 bonuses plus Overtime. so, for example I can make around 3K is OT and the 10K left is divided. 2/3 (6700) in March and 1/3 (3300) in September. Older engineers tell me they make the same as me in Base salary and I know it is true. They make more bonus money eg. 20K 40K 60K divided into 2 bonuses.

Is this fair? for the employer to hold our money and I guess invest it or do whatever they want with it? Plus if you screw up during the year they can lower your bonus because they consider it a gift. Can I place a complain on through the government? I don't want to be making 80K and live check by check just because my employer decides to hold my salary.

Thank You

P.S.
Older engineers hate the system as well.
