No weasel factors allowed, just a simple answer. I can't pick the
return to use in calculations -- that's the informed, educated answer needed. Planners ask clients for the assumed return and
length of time needed. Duh. With that info., it becomes a "no brainer." That is the needed advice.

Even with being military and having my VA Loan certificate how much do you think i would have put down and at what percent, say if my credit rating was 650?

When I go to restaurant, or buy things in a supermarket, or whenever I spend my money, is it cheaper to use my Debit card than my credit card?

for example, would the meal cost more expensive if I use my credit card? would the things I buy from stores cost more if I use my credit card rather than my debit card?



one more question.

If I rent an apartment in a city, can I pay my monthly rent with my credit card? would they charge me more if I use my credit card?


thank you so much!

If bonds are in a childs name and they want to cash them in do they have to pay taxes on them? I know you have to make a certain amount a year to file. Or does it go on the parents and they have to add it as income? Also do you just go to your bank to cash them in?

Do you:
A. Live pay check to pay check
B. Hand to mouth (a little more desperate)
C. Charge things each month you need and then do not pay it off at the end of the month (even more desperate)
D. Charge things you do NOT need each month and not pay off your bills (just plain dumb)
E. Live within your means
F. Live within your means and SAVE money each month

I'm F by the way.

My bank claims they will not approve the transaction over your account balance and any overdraft protection that you may have. I just can not see why people get overdrawn that just use debit card and write no checks.

Pennies I mean.
You cannot really buy anything for a penny nowadays so why are they still around?
Is it so that we get change from all those shops that try to fool us?

You know,... the ones that say:

"BARGAIN! UNDER £5.00!" and there it is, the £4.99p price tag!
