If you are given the opportunity to have millions or billions of money , how would you spend it.
But before the money is given , you are to do five very important tasks, which involve helping.........
Who would be the five beneficiaries and what kind of help would they get...?

My federal student loan has recently gone into default. A collection agency has threated to garnish my wages, unless I make payments that I could not afford. I do however want to give them something. I have set up a payment program with them for a more reasonable amount and as soon as I started paying they immediatley garnished my wages. When I called them they said they have to do this for 9 months, in what they are calling a rehab program, in which they will garnish 15% of my wages even though I am making payments. When I calcualted my check it is like 24.5% being garnished( I live in MIchigan). I may not have the money to pay them what I agreed upon now. I have mortgage and other bills to worry about.

My house which I share with my partner is in my name and the mortgage is in my name. We would like him to have 50% share and responsibility.
The reason why it is in my name is because he was a student and couldn't be named on mortgage at the time. The previous house we had was also in my name but he has contributed significantly meaning we now own a good chunk of our current home already... so I do not want ' are you sure you want to do that..' answers!

I will be moving out on my own as soon as I find a place with my 6 month old son. I can afford to pay the rent and deposit and everything else that goes along with having your own place. The problem is that I don't have the greatest credit.

When I was underage (i'm now 19) my mother signed me up for a credit card. I used it once paid it off then I went to use it another time and it was maxed out. I found out that it was mother than did it. I have pg&e bills that are in my name that are overdue and in collections from when I was only 16, and overdue cell phone bills from when I was under 18. That I know my Mother did.

Now I want to get an apartment but I know that all this will show up. What can I do? I know they said I can report it but I don't want to get my mother in trouble even though she should I have 6 younger brothers and sisters who rely on her to support them and I don't want to take that away. How can I get around this?

OK house has been on the market for 6 months and was listed, at that time for 395. After a few months I lowered price to 349 and that price stayed fromJuly to Dec. I had around 15 agents look all this time. Then 2 weeks ago I lowered it again down to 325 due to comps. I finally got offer yesterday. I do want to mention that my mortgage is going to balloon soon from 1100 to 2300 a month which makes me more vulnerale to see so low. My home is now the lowest in my neighborhood with around 40 homes for sale. I never had it apprasied which was very stupid of me. Anyway went and met agent and hear is what buyer wants. The price they accepeted but the problem is they want to move in on the 28th of Dec. There is no way I can get out by then due to low funds. I have to hire a mover and cannot pay him until settlement. I am sure these people are anxious to move in due to tax break, not sure but assume that is it. also have to pay closing of 9500 closing cost, carpet professionally cleaned and get this the agency makes a whopping 20,000 on the deal. That is half of what I will make. Like I said I am afraid to turn down the deal due to the upcoming balloon payment. I have not even found a home yet. Does anyone have any answers for me. I am going to phone the agent this morning and tell him there is no way I can get out of here in 23 days. thanks

My roommate won't pay her portion of the utility bills (which are all in my name) but she's continuing to pay her half of the rent to the landlord. I've spoken to the landlord but my roommate is denying that she isn't paying the utility bills and the landlord doesn't want to get in the middle so he won't kick her out. I left her a letter taped to her door offering to relieve her of all the money she owes if she agrees to leave in 30 days. Not only did she refuse to leave but she told me if I continued pressuring her she would get a temporary restraining order against me and I would have to leave. I really don't want to lose this place--especially to someone like her. The only thing I have going for me is that the security deposit we put down is in my name, so if I leave, legally I'll get all the money back. Please help!

really like this credit card at Big Lots. Plus I was planning on paying a couch there.
They had a sign down that said i could have only $20 dollar monthly payments if I paid on time for this couch but I have to get the credit card.
They couch is really cheap and I can just pay it off in two months but the problem now is that I need the couch now.
I just moved into a apartment and had to pay a really huge deposit because I had no credit history.
Do you think it would be wrong to get a big lots credit card?? What should I do?? Do you think the credit card will help me build up my credit??????

THIS WAS THE DEAL 6 months same as cash, no interest. $199 and up


And all I have in my apartment is a tv and a desk..no phone, no silverwear, no bed.....nothing.

LOL AND I'M ON MY MOM'S COMPUTER BUT SHE'S NOT WILLING TO LET ME HAVE SOME CASH TO BARROW

Will we get more interest if we combine the amounts into one account, or does it even make any difference?

I'm currently writing a paper on the IRS and the Federal Income Tax. I've heard many arguments saying that the 16th amendment to the constitiution allows for "...the taxation of profits and gains...and no other taxes may be enstated." The 16th also states that taxes can only be impossed on income; our jobs are considered labor wages which is an even trade for our time worked. Also there is something in the constitution about any tax put onto the people must be uniform across the entire population; therefor it doesn't make sense that rich people don't pay the same percent as we middle class people do right? Many court cases have been thrown out due to "lack-of-law" reguarding the IRS's inability to show any law or statute stating we have to pay income tax. So what's the deal?!? Do we just pay cause we think we have to or is there really weight to all these arguments I've heard???
