Okay, 5 days prior to closing on our new home our old home caught on fire and burned down completely (Due to ice storm). Our settlement amount will come close to what we owe on our new mortgage. I say we pay off our new mortgage (155K) and keep our old mortgage (30K) and just clear the lot or slowly rebuild the burned house and use it for a rental. This home in is Oklahoma, so the price of homes (and new homes) isn't as high as other states.

How else would be a better investment.

My financial situation over the past 2 years has greatly improved. YAY!! but now I am at a crossroads. I have two large debts left to pay (2 cards. $1800 each). I have $5000 in savings to use. I liked the idea of holding on to the cash, just in case something like a car accident or some other catastrophie, but the prospect of being credit card debt free is awfully tempting. The $5000 is from my student loans, so I would have to pay it back anyway, but at least that won't begin for another 21 months. I know the money should be used to pay for classes, but I can always take out another loan, right?

What should I do?

i heard it's a good practice to keep balance under 30% of credit limit, now is that per card or all your debts vs. all your credit cards limits added up together?
i'm curious whether it's better to transfer my balances so that it's under 30% per card.

also, is it true that as long as it's under 30%, it won't do a thing to your credit how much you owe?

I know the clothes that are used on a daily basis cannot be used as a tax write off, but could a tux be used as one since it is used primarily for professional purposes.

I had to move from one state to another. I have been trying to sell my old house for about a year. Finally I am going to have to do a short sell (I have a couple offers to pay less than what I owe on the home). I should probably get some money back on my tax returns and would like to use it to pay off the large credit card balances I have acquired over this period of time. Can the mortgage company seize any returns I may get because I am having to do a short sell?

Me and my husband want to buy an apartment or house in miami. We have a budget of 200,000. But i'm trying to factor in property tax and i'm confused.

So if we buy a 200K flat, we get taxed on the 200K. But if miami prices go up the following year and my flat is worth 300K, do I have to pay taxes on 300K. What if I can't afford it? Do I loose my house to the government tho I can totally afford the mortgage.

Does the tax bill change every year??? That can't be right. how do you keep track of your money if you haven't a clue what your tax bills are.

I'm trying to save money, as I will be 18 soon. I want to have a back up source of money just in case a paycheck doesn't cut it on any particular month, but the one thing stopping me from saving a respectable amount of money is my impulsive spending. It's not that bad - I don't spend 100's of dollars a month. But even so, I want to break the habit. Does anyone have any tips for me?

Thanks!

I keep reading that the housing market has dropped significantly again in the past 3 months, with 2008 looking even worse. I am worried about the economy as we are just squeaking by. Right now we are about even, we owe what the house is worth, almost exactly. Should we get out now for more affordable housing by putting on the market and hope it sells? Or risk foreclosure if the economy tumbles even more?
