In 1995 I lived in Georgia. I don't have any recollection if I filed or not. They say they will garnish wages if I don't pay 2,583.84 within 30 days.... I looked at my W2s from that year and saw I paid 560.00(State Taxes) into the system that year ( 22k year job). They say they represent the Georgia Dpt of Revenue. What can I do..I survive off $800 disablity income at present.

I am 20 years old and have only had two jobs in the past two years and one of them was only seasonal work. I applied yesterday morning on a whim and got a call about three hours later on the same day. It's a new Barnes and Noble that just opened up, so maybe they are really desperate for employers? I mean, I didn't even have professional refrences listed on my application.

The truth is that I do love reading and books and spend more time in Borders/Barnes and Noble in the past few years than in school! It's a great atmosphere and I love the cafe that it would be a perfect place for me to work but it this is such a cliche and overused answer.

What should i expect from this interview? Questions? Is a pair of fitted black pants, a sweater and a pair of heeled boots okay to wear?

My interview is tomorrow at 4:30pm.

my sister co signed a car for her friend, now he hasn't paid for a couple of months, the bank sent a letter saying that they need to get paid other wise they'll will excersice their rights. here is what i want to know. if he doesn't pay they'll come after he as well, and then they will repo the car, sell and they would have to pay the difference on the balance. i'm i right so far?
it will go agianst her credit, i know the guy and i'm sure he's not gonna pay, if she doens't pay the remaining balance can they put a lean on her house or can they somehow get to her bank account or something?

I get child support and I work. He works too. Each of these incomes are the same amount. He says he shouldn't have to pay half the bills, since I get more with the child support. I think he should pay a third of all household bills. I have no debt, but he has car payment, credit cards, school loan. So he feels I should pay more due to this fact. I was thinking of giving him a 30 day notice or maybe a 90 day one. But I don't want to be without him. One last thing, it is hard for me to talk about money with him. It's like taking candy from a baby.

ok so i had this job for maybe 2-3 weeks. Its cool, but too much sometimes, and i might have a better job offer. Im the only one working the floor, cleaning and folding everything myself. doing go backs. closeing... and all for nothing. No one wants to buy credit, so they are cutting my hours already cuz of that... i stay till 12am, and leave class early jus to make it to work.. its hard with college and this.
so i got an offer of doing recreation, working with little kids playing sports =) which is good cuz thats my minor in school. and it will help with my major too, and i think they pay better.. and more flexiable with hours, so it wont affect my school hours..

i just feel bad cuz i havnt been in this job that long, and now i want to leave already... is that bad? should i suck it up for a while??

I reside in a small town (less than 3,000 people) with a very tough job market. I'm in my first year out of college and have a background in entertainment and music marketing, however I currently work in cosmetics.

In the paper last week, there was an article stating that the town was looking to create a new job for the city of "Events Coordinator" stating that they wanted more tourism. It also stated that they would "do research of other towns with a similar description" since the town has never had one.

I really want this job because I have a lot of creative ideas for events and a bright look for the economically depressed town. How should I go about trying to land this job? I have only met the mayor once, and have been wanting to go to more town meetings. In the article, they stated they would be researching this position in Decemeber.

Any suggestions?

This question is for those who have paid the 100% down plan in cash not credit not payments for something large. Perhaps your car, boat, house, lawn mower. My answer is that I paid cash for the computer I am using. The tower, printer, monitor and everything else.
So what was it for you?

I have 19000 on a car loan at 7%, I got a life-of-the-loan Balance transfer offer from my CC at 3.99%.

Simple solution: Pay off the autoloan and see the benefits of 3.01% savings over the loan term.

Here is where the plot thickens, My total credit line: all cards combined is 36K, so if I where to pay the auto loan off with the CC BT thats 19K of debt , meaning my debt to credit line ratio will be 50% or more , Isnt that bad?

So does it make sense to pay the auto loan off, or is it smarter to take the hit at 7% ( I can afford the 1.8K extra over 5 years)but keep 36K credit line open?

I have been told, auto loans (and home loans) are said to be better debt than credit card debt.

Also having been approved for the 19K of autoloan, does that theoretically make my credit line at 36K+19K so the real debt ratio at this point is 19/ (36+19) or just 34%.

I do plan to buy a house in a year so keeping the FICO high is a priority.

What do you suggest?

A few days ago Walmart was selling Reese's for 33 cents each. I thought that was amazing but today I saw that they're down to 24 cents. I read the book "The Wal-Mart Effect" so I know a little bit about how Wal-Mart manipulates the economy and all that, but 24 CENTS?? Do they even make any money off of that?
