I always understood there was a certain amount of funds which granted access to particular closed mutual funds in Fidelity such as the Contrafund.

How much money do you need with Fidelity to gain access to these funds?

I worked for a company 2 years ago, and left on very good terms. My boss said if I ever wanted to come back I could. Well, now I need to. I am very open to relocating where I am most needed (this is an international company). Should I ask for relocation expenses to be paid, even though I am the one that originally left?

NOTE: I will not be returning to the place where I was when I worked there before.

Would that be unfair of me? Should I just wait and see if they offer, then if they don't, ask for it? Otherwise, it will be nearly impossible for me to move my family as we are stretched WAYYYY too thin as it is. (I know this is not company's fault...but they regularly pay for others' relocations.)

Thanks!

I moved into a house that was converted to an upstairs/downstairs duplex and I live alone downstairs. A couple lives upstairs. When signing the lease, I agreed to pay one third of the gas, electric and water because the house had only one meter. Later, I found out that the couple above has a dishwasher, regular sized fridge and a gas fireplace. I have a small apartment fridge, no dishwasher and a no fireplace. I asked the owners (landlords, as well), if I could get a separate meter, but they said no. I signed an agreement to pay one third, but that third was not fully disclosed. Outside of refusing to pay my share, what recourse do I have?

Previously, I was advised that all credit inquiries after 90 days can be removed but via a written request. What I would like to know is if that is true and if not what is the best way to have credit entries removed from my file after the 90 days that they are required to remain on a person's credit file.

I'm young and looking to both save for retirement and other future needs (e.g. house purchase). I'm already contributing up to the max 401(k) employer match, but there's plenty of room to invest more there. At this point I'm considering opening up an IRA (either Roth or Traditional), and wondering whether it'd be better to put the money into the 401(k) or one of the IRAs (or maybe even an entirely different investment).

Thank you

I am a department head where I work. I have been offered a different position with the same company, more money and an upgrade into a pre-management position. ALSO much more stress, I will be in charge of about 10 people under me. It is the only way to go if I want to be in assistant manager line. I do, it is more money and I am not worried about being capable. It is just a huge change from being in my own department running how I want and knowing I do a good job there. It will mean a lot more stress in my life, however. I have already had one heart attack, totally related to stress. However, I have worked a 7 day week for 3 years and still can't meet my bills and avoiding creditors is definitely stressful. What do you think?????

My 501c3 art center would like to rent/lease a new space. Are there any tax benefits for the landlord if he rents to us below fair market value? Can he take a deduction for the difference between the fair market value and what he receives from us?

I have heard that the government will take most of the money because of the years I have been disabled. It isn't going to be that much, but it will help to fix my car and catch up my bills. I don't really expect her to go real soon but she will be 90 in February. She would like to get her will all ready and wrote. Thank you for your time and I hope you can help us with this.
