Personal Finance - August 2006

I have a bunch of medical receipts over the last couple of months. I want to take full advantage of the flex spending account when I start my new job. Will receipts dated prior to my start date be accepted for reimbursement or will only those receipts after the start date be okay? Thanks

How do you make money, start a business and all that with no money?

Is it true that it takes money to make money?

The company I work for switched from a PEO (place of employment organization (where technically I worked for this group in order to get better benefit) to a standard payroll company so now I technically work for my employer. The payroll company has a different 401K company that we now work through but the loan won't transfer over. The financial agent says it's a Trust to Trust so it won't go over. He says in the eyes of the financial world I quit one job and started working at another. He suggests I borrow the money from someone to pay the origional loan and then take a loan once the money transfers and then pay that person back. Or just let the loan default and let the company keep the money (along with taxes and pentalites). Is this right? If I didn't do anything why should I get screwed?

I was requested by a reputable listed company in Australia to photocopy my credit card and signing a authorisation form to authorise them to make monthly deduction from my card. I was told by them that it was meant for their auditing purposes.

I need to subscribe their services due to their worldwide presence. If paying by other mode besides a credit card, I will need to give them a deposit which I doubt the recovery might be years later or never!

Anyone have any suggestions how do you handle such situation?

I am feeling this out on here.
At age 24 what do you think is an "Acceptable" amount to be in debt? This should include your student loan payments, personal loans, credit cards, etc... I am about $24 thousand in debt from 2 yrs of school, and 8 yrs of living on my own...
So, the question is- how much debt do YOU have if you're in your 20s? And what amount of debt should cause worry, how much debt is TOO much debt?

My grandfather was a co-signer on my Aunt's truck. She failed to make the payments and the truck was repo'd. The trucks finance Co. withdrawed $3000.00 from my grandfathers bank account, without notice, and that is all that my grandfathers retierment check is $3000. So he is up S*** creek. So I ask was that legal for them to pull that money out with out notice?

I need some advice on how to get by for a few weeks on next to no money. I live in southern ontario. so any advice on community groups would be appreciated... and advice on how to reuse items, recipes on stuff I may have on hand, etc... how to get by for 1 week on only $20!! And that has to get me to school, daycare, groceries... help!! My bills are student loan debt, computer payments, personal loan payment, rent, hydro, phone, gorceries, bus. I am so far behind- how do I catch up when I get my loan?

I notice at WaMu they scan checks right when you deposit them. I'm sure this helps when it comes to processing them, but I was wondering if they also kept account information from checks in their own database so that they could have a better idea if they could release the funds to you sooner or later. For example, if you deposit a check from an account that never bounces at WaMu, maybe when they scan the check, you have a good chance of the funds being immediately available? Or the converse: if you try to deposit a check from an account that always bounces, maybe they'll put a hold on the deposit regardless of your account standing?
