job pays great,great benefits insurance,retirement etc. i hate what i do and the people i work with. no one here likes their job and only stay for money and benies. im out of town 90% of the time. i have to stay 10 years to get full benefits for retirement. working conditions are hard and dangerous. im made to feel guilty because of the money and told at my age im pretty much stuck here. this is a construction type job and everyone except me is in their 20's. im in good shape now but i can feel the wear and tear on my body. my passion is art. im a portrait artist. i can make a living at it but wife says there's no retirement or benefits so it's not worth it . so is this really my only avenue, 10 - 15 yrs of hell wasting away to retire so i can actually do something i love and good at?

A former co-worker about a year ago struggling with financial hardship needed a cell phone to keep in touch with her family in NY and somehow convinced me to open up an additional line under my account temporarily. She ran up my bill up to $1,700 in 40 days plus the price of the phone. She was authorized as the account user and all of the calls and phone #'s belong to her. I can prove its her bill. When the bill came I disconnected the line and she kept giving me the run around for months postponing any kind of payments. Her relatives won't give me any information and everytime I get her # she changes it and she's moved! This ruined my credit and eventually Verizon turned my cell phone off. I had to pay the money out of my pocket and now theres a negative rating on my credit due to this favor. I need to sue her and get my money back! How do I get our former employer to release her personal info so that I can contact the courts? What court do I go to? And what forms do I need? Help!!!!

I began by subletting, w/o the apt management's knowledge in Sept. 07. In Dec. 07, it was time for lease renewal. I filled out the application, and signed the work history documents that were faxed to my job, however, I never received word back from the apt. management. I never received a phone call, saw any documentation, nor met w/ the apt. management. My roommate however told me that I was on the lease. I just recently found out that he forged my signature on the documentation (that I never saw)! I have no idea what terms/conditions he agreed me to. I no longer wish to live here, for that reason and others. Do I have a case that will allow me to legally get out of the leasing contract (that I never saw!) w/o penalty? Any help would be lovely! Thanks

I am 20 years old, I have my own apartment I pay all the bills there, (I do come home sometimes for a few weeks), I have my own car for which I pay my own note and insurance. I also pay my cell-phone bill She only gives me money for gifts at Birthday and Holidays time (probably about $100) each time. I want her to stop claiming me on her taxes, but she will not. I want to claim myself. What can I do?

We are a small group in Oklahoma with only foster homes, and don't want to go all the way with the costly 501c3. Someone has mentioned a way to have donations tax deductible without it. We would get some more donations from people if they could have it as a deduction. This person said we would be similar to a 501c3 non profit, but we would not be able to get grants.

time, but since there is influx of capital and cheap loans being given by the federal reserve to large financials, I would expect that their stocks price will stay the same or possibly rise with this news. Is the only way that these big boys can survive is to shake out the retiree's savings from investments to get their money back? Shouldn't the government put them out of business and disallow new money to fund their CEO salaries and such and allow new more responsible lenders to take their places, like Berkshire Hathaway?

i'm looking for houses to rent soon and one is fairly cheap ($495) per month but it's only 400 finished sq. feet...that sounds pretty small to me..

do you think it'd be worth it ?? 1bedroom and 1 bathroom and it'd be 2 people and 2 cats living there if that matters.

thanks.

Why do they make it so hard for average wage people to get a house now days? My parents both worked average paying jobs and they lived outside the city limits and they were able to get a house years ago, now my husband and i cant catch a break, we both would have to work full time jobs just to be able to pay all the bills. Why is it that way now days. why is it that now to afford a home there has to be two poeple working full time or at least one making a lot of money to be able to get a house?

In retail jobs, the workers are always lazy. They do not look presentable meaning their hair, clothes, and makeup is a mess, and they always have the nastiest attitude. How do they get the jobs? I've been applying to retail stores for a while, I have experience, and still no luck. When I go on interview, no call back. I'm 17, very beautiful, mature, well dressed, intelligent, and meticulous. People have told me that all of my life but still the managers in these stores don't consider me. I work FAST, and I follow instructions. I am nice to people and very polite. Sometimes I think that I act too professional for the managers. They seem to like bold, and reckless people. It makes me feel sad and angry when I see the type of people who actually do get the jobs but hard working people dont. Do you know why that is?
