when will the media start talking about the real victims? I am not talking about investors, but the people that just want a place for their family, a place to call home...but wait! I guess those people are poor, I guess they can wait (since they don't have a voice)...too bad, no one cares

I'm a struggling writer, and as much as I want to pursue my career, I get all these discouraging feedback that most writer's and authors end up being bankrupt or penniless. But I think that would also depend on how good your work is...
what do you think?

I own a duplex and each one is converted into 2 units. In other words, I rent out 4 small apartment units. I receive $825 per unit a month but don't currently work. The mortgage payment is $3325 a month which means I don't make any profit on the mortgage. I recently paid about $7000 dollars for the annual taxes. Will I be receiving any tax returns?

My sister and I will have to sell my dads house because he has passed away and my mom is in a nursing home now. We don't have much time because we will have to use the money from the house to pay her nursing home bill. Any suggestions or web sites to help us to sell this ourselves? Or is it better to get a real estate agency in on this. The house is free of liens and paid off years ago. Any suggestions will help as I don't know where to begin. Thanks.

I live in a small apartment complex and our neighbors have more or less taken over the whole front and back areas of my complex.

In the front they are always taking the prime parking spots. Since we work we can only get parking spots at night. Since they most likely do not work or work loser jobs with various hours they are always getting the best parking spots. Plus to ad to the bs they often times have a friend over to "hold" the best parking spaces. A frined will come over and get the best parking spaces and then "release" this space to the person(s) who live there. How crappy is that?

In the back they have taken over the area with several bbq's a ping pong table, a pool table etc. They say it makes the common area "cool". Well it is not "cool" for us becasue we are not drunks.

Help!

I work at a retail store, I like most everyone I work with but out of about 20 employees, there are about 5 that always act like I am the biggest idiot on the face of the earth and that they are so much better than me. I know they talk about me behind my back and they degrade my intelligence in front of customers and employess alike. Unfortunetly I already have anxiety problems that I am trying to overcome so, this really upsets me personally as well as at work. It also makes me physically ill. The problem is I don't want to leave the other 15, really cool, good people in a lurch because I quit right when things are getting busy for Christmas. I don't want anyone to hate me for leaving but I also don't want to sell my pride for 6.25 an hour. This is what I am thinking of, go ahead and put in my two weeks notice and hope that everyone that I care about at my job, doesn't hate me. I would apprectiate advise from anyone who knows how much retail stinks!

A UK Dial Before You Dig website, http://www.national-one-call.co.uk gets plans from all the utilities and authorities. When the service contacts some utilities the utility charges up to £60 for a plan, some even charge for telling you that there is nothing there.

Should utilities be charging when the plans will be used to avoid hitting their buried services?

I work for a factory. We have a supervisor who is being a jerk. Even though we are producing more then the required amount of material, he will tell us we are going to slow. He always picks one person and cuts them down all day. We have had people who have been with the company over 30 years move departments to get away. It's to the point where most of the new people are quitting. We have talked many times to the manager, but nothing changes. I've only been with the company about 2 years, and already the senior on that side of the plant. He hasn't really picked on me, but I've seen him git out of line with others. And the manager wonders why we have such a bad turn over racieo.

Is there anything else we could try?

My husband started working for the City of CC and of course being a heavy equipment mechanic one must have their own tools. He has purchased several items adding up to almost $2,000. We have saved our receipts. Can these be considered tax deductible since they are used for his job?

Additional Info: He is the only employed person in the household, and we usually file Married filing Jointly-. We are homeowners but do not have mortgage payments.
Thanks!

After three interviews (for a hostess) that lasted about 7 weeks at PF Changs I didn't get hire. At the last interview she said she would call me as soon as she reached a decision. I called her today and basically told me I'm not hired. I just feel uplike they shouldv'e been professional enough to let me know. Why didn't they hire me?! I'm just somewhat frustrated!

I have a friend that stated that she applied for a payday loan online and a company she delt with a long time ago got her information and went into her account and took money after she had put them in her bankruptcy. She doesn't have a computer so she has given the task of trying to find out. She said that she spoke with someone at the company she applied with and then found out that the same person worked for yet another company in a call center. Is this right, does one company own all of them and can put you in a trick bag getting your infomation from a new company you apply with and then getting into your bank account because yo owe them money when leagally she filed bankruptcy.

I signed a ton of papers in March to buy a new built home.... Now with the market, I can't afford it... What can I do??? I signed at 6.5% and if it went over 1% I could get out. Well they are telling me it is 7.25% (wow only .25% away). I am willing to lose my 1.7K deposit if I can just walk away from this... Anyone have any experience or anything with this? Is there a way I can walk from my builder?

I cant get title insurance through any local agencies for a transaction that i really need done, their is a break in the chain of the title, my question is can i get insurance form an attorney to keep my transaction moving forward and then do the work to quiet the title later,

Im dealing with a pending property development and this is critical to the development of the property as the county will be changing its comprehensive and zoning so i need to get my permits asap. This is a hard money re finance thats already in escrow, that will allow me to pay for my permits. I have 3 days to resolve this.

Does anyone know what i can do, is their a national company that takes higher risk transactions or can i get it from an attorney in my state.
