My soon-to-be hubby and I have collect a lot of debt over the years. Mostly foolish spending habits we had when we were old enough to get credit but still to young to understand the impact it would have as we get older.
Now my question is should we try to get out of debt by ourselves or do we seek outside help. well part 2 of that question is there outside help? something like a get out of debt and plan for your future guy.
Now what are pro and cons of DIY or a planner?

My question is, let's say I put 50k in a stock, and it doubles the next day and I sell. So now I have 100k, but I owe takes on 50k. Let's suppose this was done in January of 2007. Can I wait until April 15 of 2008 to pay the taxes, or do I have to make estimated quarterly taxes in April of 2007? I have never heard of this estimated taxes nonesense. When does it apply?

Do you spend most of your time looking for loopholes and finding out ways for people and organizations to avoid paying taxes?
When you do, do you feel as if you are doing something morally wrong?
Many taxes are used for social servies to help people who are less well-off. Does the work of a tax accountant somehow work against these social services (because of the focus on finding ways for people to pay less tax)?

It was not a public stock. It was a friend and we helped her and her husband start a business. We gave them 1000 for 1000 shares of common stock in their private company. They tried hard and for a while they were doing well, but the market changed and they lost everything.
No biggie, it was money we expected to lose but would have been happy if it made out. (Like any other gamble.)
I know we take a capital gains loss on Schedule D. But are they supposed to give us any particular tax form or something to show that the stock we paid for went to $0?
(We have copies of their corporate tax forms for the prior years, and this year they will fill out the final tax form showing the total loss. But I don't imagine we're supposed to send their tax form in with ours.)
They were a regular C corp, not a sub-S or anything.

I am trying to catch up all my debt after being unemployed for a lengthy time(lay off). I have been getting calls from third party debt collectors. I do not not do business with 3rd parties. Isn't it my right to deal with the company I owe money to directly instead of dealing with these low lifes?
