I have about $1000 in an ESOP account that was started when I was with another employer. I am currently working for another company and would like to invest in the stock where I am working. Can I withdraw the money from my ESOP account and put it in another account to reinvest? If so, what is the least expensive way to do this? Do I need a broker? How much would that cost? Any help would me most appreciated.

I owe about 1300 on the credit cards and I feel like I'll get nowhere even if I drop a hundred every month on all three. The interest rate is too high maybe with a loan I can get 7-9?

Have any of you guys ever done this and if so do you recommend it. I actually have one card under consolidation and it sucks maybe I chose the wrong company The Achievable, but it they charge me 60 bucks a month along with they payments towards the cards. Any comments?

Please no freaken scammers you guys just need to burn in hell. Its bad enough getting scammed from the banks and credit card companies!!!

I am currently thinking of moving from Rhode Island to the Fort Myers area in Florida. I'm selling my home for $369,900 and my property tax this year was $6,734. I would like to find a home in Cape Coral or Lehigh Acres for a little under $300,000. What should I expect for property tax in Florida compared to Rhode Island?

I'm looking into buying a small apartment to rent out to earn a little extra money. I know the landlord and I know he'd sell me the unit. I need some advice. The unit is a small one bedroom, just 575 sq feet. New carpet, 100 sq foot deck that's not included in the unit's square foot. It is six blocks from a lake without a view. Town is small, just 1,700 but in the states biggest tourist attraction for chicago commuters. Want to know what I should offer to buy for, and what I could rent for. I know it is all realitive but the best guess for my info. Does anyone recommend or not recommend this for an investment. Thank you.

candidate? i was told people with health issues have prob;em getting hired...Since my asthma is mild, and rarely, if ever, flares up (besides times of extreme physical activity), will i possibly be discriminated against? I'm in very good physical condition, besides the asthma.

Also, are sociology, psych, P+A, English, and a math all that are generally needed? Any help appreciated.

I've been divorced for 1 1/2 years, our house remains on the market and I've paid most of the mortgage since then. It was 2 months behind then went in "reduced payment" for the past 3 months. The lender now wants the regular full payment plus installments on the overdue amount. At this point I must either stop paying my personal debts, all currently in perfect standing, including credit cards w/$30,000+ balance and $800 in minimums, or give up on the mortgage.

This may seem like a no-brainer ("avoid foreclosure") but then there is the matter of my ex having obligated herself in our divorce agreement to fully pay the mortgage in exchange for what she expected would be "full proceeds" on our home's sale. Obviously that backfired, but since my name is on the mortgage, I'm still on the hook. So, which way do I benefit most or suffer least? Give up on personal debts or let the mortgage go? I've already had a couple lenders extend courtesies to me after documenting that agreemen

I have had a chronic medical condition for the last few years - and the Canadian doctors have not helped me at all. I plan on going to the US for a second opinion and for any tests they'll want done.

Can I get insurance to help cover the cost somewhat? (This is not the same as travel insurance or emergency insurance.) Also no doctor in Canada is forwarding me down there - I am going by my own choice.

I owe my college $40 before I can register for my Winter 2008 classes? I do have a job and will be $40 short after I pay my bills. If I ask my family for the money they will just yell, cuss or get a serious attitude and probably tell me "no!" Can you give me a way on coming up with $40.

I've been offered a job but cannot afford a double mortgage. This is unfortunate because I will have to decline the job unless there is some way to avoid having to pay two mortgages until the first house sells. What are my options?

After paying the first mortgage, I would be left with $300 per month with which to pay for the second house/rental.

I just started a job in retail yesterday morning - as a freight worker. When I signed up for this job I did not know I would have to work at 6 in the morning (wake up at 4:30, leave at 5:10 - I live a ways away), not until they had written up a schedule. Not only are the hours bad, and it's only minimum wage, but the work itself explains why they need help . I've been making myself sick trying to adjust to this, I already knew I hated the job the first day, and knew I was going to quit very soon, but I want to quit tomorrow - which I am scheduled to work. Would it look bad if I didn't drag my butt up there at 5:45 in the morning just to say I quit and instead called to say Id like to resign?

I must add -- they didn't spend time ANY training me or anything! So it's not like I wasted anyone else's time but mine.
