People say hard work but I've been working alot lately 14 hrs a day and honestly sometimes I feel like thats the biggest lie on the planet. So how does someone realistically become rich. I know being rich does not make you happy. Being rich free's you of any type of burden to live your life to the fullest. If you want to travel you can travel, if you want to create a business, you need money to do so. It's not easy when you are broke, yet you are working your best on measly paychecks and can't even go back to school because you have to pay off school loans already, not to mention bills light gas, phone food and everything else by yourself, I am in my early 20's and honestly i am just sick of th1s sh1t as far as jobs go. i want real answers thanks

I'm not sure about something that happened at work tonight but it's on my mind so I thought I would get your opinion...

There's a guy who I've only really said hello to and have talked about work related stuff with. I was on the phone with a guest and while I was on the phone, he started touching my shoulders and arms (a close friend works with me so I thought it was maybe her so i didn't do anything). Just as I was finishing up the call, he moved his head close to my face and was about to kiss me on the cheek and I gave him a dirty look. He made a joke about how I gave him a dirty look and I pretty much ignored him after that and he went away.

What he did just bothers me because I don't know him. I'm not sure if I should say anything or just see how he is in the future. I know of a guest complaint about him whistling at another guest as she walked by so there is a small history of him doing inappropriate things while on the job.

How do you think I should handle this?

What kind of camera do you use? How long does it take to create one, at the house and on your computer? Is the software hard to learn? Do you need a certain kind of webhosting company to upload it to? Is it better to just hire someone to do it?

I own a kid's party entertainment agency. The parent calls on the phone & we take a credit card deposit to hold their slot. Now, what is happening is that flakes are canceling at the last minute & when I say the deposit is nonrefundable (as we cleary state on our website and during the booking) they claim "you can't do that - I never signed anything" & threaten to dispute it with their credit cards. The typical advice I get is to deal with this is: "make them sign the contract" but they book at the last minute so there is no time for them to mail it & they say they dont know how to email it (or they forget). Making them drive in Houston to drop it off is not feasible (and I aint doing it either). Hounding them is going to drive them to my competition (some of whom dont require contracts). I have more good deals than bad, we're #1 in our market, so I wonder if I just have to accept the good with the bad? PS: Should I return the deposit or take my chances with the credit card companies?

I learned about a concept today where a person borrows overfunded cash value from a policy to make a mojor purchase. It is claimed this use (and subsequent return) of funds does not effect the policy's long-term growth. It sounds too good to be true.

I know if someone else falls they can go through my policy so would the same hold true if I fell? I'm wondering about this because I know if I had a solo car accident I could go through my own auto insurance to pay for it so does the same hold true for a homeowners policy?

I can't find a decent job & I think I deserve more money than that. I'm on disability, but I still want to work. I looked all over & no luck. I was so desperate that I went filling out applications @ McDonald's & WalMart & stuff. I can't find a job in my career field. I don't have much work experience. I'm trying to get off of disability & work to become more self-sufficient. No one wants to hire me. I can't afford to live off of $650/month for the rest of my life!

I know people always try to warn me, saying, "Well you don't wanna lose your benefits because if you lose your job it'll be very hard & take 15 yrs. to get SSI & Social Security again." I suffer Tourette's & other depressive/anxiety disorders & OCD, & I can only work @ a certain pace & I can't stand on my feet for too long. I also get anxiety attacks when I'm rushed or required to work faster, or they threaten to fire me.

Do you think I should have a work @ home job & work @ my own pace? What jobs do you recommend?
