Say, for the sake of arguement, that I currently have a mortgage for 100K. I heard that I can refinance my home (at whatever the current market interest rate is, which just happens to be lower then what I'm currently at) and instead of simply refinancing and continuing with a 100K mortgage, I can instead take out a 150K mortgage. I would then essentially have 50K profit to turn around and make improvement on my house or otherwise pay other debts.
Is this true? Any info would be helpful, seems too good to be true because I'm getting ready to refinance anyway and if I could knock out a few home improvements and pay of some debts and just end up paying an extra ~$100 more a month for my mortgage, that would be great.

I recently started temping and as a result of having a 40 hour week I haven't had time to make any graduate applications or do anything else for that matter. The other day I popped into the career centre to pick up some directories for graduate applications and I was shocked to discover that many application deadlines for the graduate applications have already passed. These are mainly for the top MNCs such as UBS and Morgan Stanley as well as Citigroup. I have always dreamed of working for them but now I will have to wait a whole year for the graduate applications to open again.

I am feeling upset, angry and frustrated. Any advice on how I can move forward or deal with this problem???

She didn't own a credit card so went to her bank and they issued her one. They refused to accept a check. Also, car rental place only want credit cards for payment. What is another way to pay if you don't have credit cards?

Just wondering how the two compare. I have never lived in a house before, so I don't know how much it should cost to heat one. I have typically spent about $60-70/ mo to heat the one bedroom apartments I have had, but that included using the gas stove and my gas water heater. Now we are in our first house, and we filled a propane tank for the winter. It was $500, but the company that filled it for us said it is enough to last us till spring even if we set the heat really high 24/7.The stove and water heater are electric so the propane isn't used for those things. If you live in a home with a "normal" heater, do you spend over $500 to heat it for a whole winter? For comparison sake it is a small two story three bedroom house, built well over 100 years ago.

I'm wanting to move out from my parents house but I just wondered what it costs on average, from rent to bills and what sort of bills come in monthly and what come in quarterly. It would really help to see if i could afford to do it. Many thanks.
