I live in an apartment building;This week a new neighbor moved next door.

Someone in there smokes. A LOT.

Smoke makes me sick (I am allergic to it) and I am feeling every time more sick. I get home from work and the smell is everywhere.

I have now a sore throat, sinusitis and sometimes I just feel like I have no air to breath (needing to leave the apartment and go on the cold outside air).

I keep calling the manager about it. They say that the tenant is allowed to smoke on his apartment and there is nothing I can do. He also says that he is not responsible for my health because they already put some kind of protection on the apartments so that the "bad" part of the smoke doesn't come to my house, so me feeling sick is psychological, and not real.

Also, he says I can always move, paying for an extra month and losing my deposit.

Is it real? I can't take it! I want to move out NOW, but dont want to lose another month of rent and my deposit.

BUT my health is important too!

HELP!

I've been looking at Boston as a potential city to move to at some point in the future. I'm just interested in figuring out what the cost of living is. I keep reading on forums that the house prices are astronomical but I don't know what perspective people are coming from, ie what sort of work they do, or where they lived before, so I don't know how seriously to take that.

I currently live in London, which has the 5th highest cost of living in the world. Boston is 84th on this particular survey (http://www.finfacts.com/costofliving2006.htm) so I'm quite confident that it would be cheaper than I'm used to!

But I'm wondering if anyone could give me more information about house prices (ie average price of family home in Boston or a nice suburb) and whether the salaries paid in Boston somewhat reflect the prices.

I'd be interested in hearing from anyone with a personal experience of living in Boston, how manageable you find it living there?

I have been approved for a home loan, It'll be a little tight to buy a home, but I love that more than anything.

I moved to this town to be with my boyfriend, things didn't work out after almost two years.

I absolutely love my job, wouldn't quit it just to move back home, so I am face with the dilemna, do I rent or buy?

I have three cats and most rent places won't accept them.

I was wondering how hard it is to get out from underneath it if I decided to move out of this town after a few years.

Is it a really big hassel to sell a home?

Just as the topic says what is the best way to save this much in 2 years. All types of investment advice welcome. The money would be required in 2 years so this isnt a long term investment. Thanks for the info!

I remember having looked into this in the past, but I am really wondering (especially for a smaller business), which is the best choice? Is it better to go with an LLC or to go with a corporation - and why? What makes one better than the other? What are the down-sides of each?

I just graduated from a nursing unit assistant program. I have a job at a school still that pays well but I have been doing that for a long time and i want to get into health care. Currently the nursing unit assistant doesn't quite pay as much as my current job. I have a full time nursing assistant job offered to me but i wanted to work casual first because you make more money and there is lots of work for nursing assistants. I wanted to see how much I liked this new job before letting go of my old one and plus I would make extra money to pay off some debts. Some friends say it is better to take the full time gig but some say if there is lots of work you can get a full time job later. Want are your thoughts I can't decide. I want to work in health care for sure but I don't think I am ready for a full time job yet I want to try it out casual first. i am making a bad decision by turning down full time. There is a shortage of nursing assistant right now.

My husband lost his job and now we are in a pickle. I've already used up all the money I had saved back for Christmas on bills and we still haven't paid all of our bills. I'm wondering if anyone can tell me where I can get a loan that will wait until I get my tax return for repayment? The sad part is my kids aren't going to have Christmas and my bills won't wait for tax time. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks!

companies expect you to work? Since I started the course, I was lucky enough to get into a nursing program at a local college. I intend to go on to get my RN, so I will be in school for about 3 more years and I REALLY need flexible way to earn money. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

I recently got a job at Macy's.
My manager said she did not have any part-time schedule available for the kind of hours I wanted, so she offered me an on-call job and I took that.

My manager told me that since its the holidays, there are always open hours to work- so it would be like working part-time.

Since its on-call, does that mean I will never know when I will work? How much time in advance will I know when they want me to come in?

What is the difference between a Nursing Assistant (NA) and a Certified Nursing Assistant (NA). I realize the the CNA is certified and probably needs to take a test but can you really work without being certified and if so how does that work. At University of Wisconsin Hospital there are only NAs and at the hospital near my house everyone is a CNA. Maybe it varies from state to state.

If you have no address for someone who did contracting work for you, do you just send the 1099 to the IRS noting that you have no address? What if you don't even have a valid previous address for the contractor?

I am a full time employee and my salary is tax-paid by the company I work for. Lets say my income is 40 grand after paying tax, meaning I have this money in my pocket and its all for me.

Now, if I give my house to rental, and earn 12 grand a year, how do I calculate my income tax?

Does my primary job have anything to do with my tax payment?
If so, how is it related?

Thank you.

I live in Michigan and I am having a rough time financially and I have 4 different medical bills from a surgery. (which I can not believe what they charged between me and my old insurance company) Every month when I get a bill I pay $20.00 on it even though the bill says "pay in full" or "minimum amount due" and they have the total amount of the bill. I heard that as long as I keep paying them every month then they can not but it on my credit report, is that true??? Anything on this would help, please give me any feedback you have...Thank you
