Some months ago I was told by a friend that I am a born money-making guy, but I am not so. It seems I don't know my potentials. Would somebody please tell me where my money is?

If you really step back and take a look around the majority of people seem to be trying to keep up with the jones's by buying things for ego and to get attention....

Behind closed doors I bet most people are financial disasters, living paycheck to paycheck....etc

Is this you....? I once was caught up in this....!

Look around....its still going on....the houses...the cars...the clothes...the gadgets.....the toys....

Esacape already !!!!

I got a question from my math teacher and she asked: we learned that you should not have more than 40% of your monthly income going towards debt. figure out how much you have that can be put towards monthly car payments and insurance. I would be making about 12,000.00 a month and my car payments would be 459.54 and insurance would be 213.00. what does she mean by this? i would ask her but shes not that bright.

I made a credit card payment by mail. Due to inefficient communication, while the mail payment was in transit, my husband made a payment online for the same account, the same amount. The payments were rather large, and I cannot exactly afford to use up that much money in a month for a credit card bill that doesn't require it. I'm thinking of putting a stop payment order on the mailed-in payment (which has not reached its destination yet). Is this a legitimate reason to request stop payment? Is there a better way to keep the credit card issuer from cashing the check? Thanks in advance.

Once I can afford to, If I opt for lower payments now via Citizens Advice Bureau, because of a change of circumstances, ie, I don't have enough cash due to change of circumstances, to pay right now?

I've just had a meeting with my bank's financial advisor about personal pension - who have recommended Standard Life as his choice. I know that the bank only has 6 or 7 pension companies to choose from (all big names incl. Norwich Union, Stanard Life, Prudential, Legal&General, Friends Providence, AXA) but i'm quite happy with going with the big companies.

My question is - is pension really the best way to save for my retirement? I have my own Savings account with high interest as well as ISA but wanted something a bit more long term for the REAL future i.e. retirment. If it is, I can then really take his recommendation but if there is other alternatives then I would like to know.

Retirement == 65 years for most people so I'm going with that. Also note that I know if my employer contributes, then obvosuly that is the bet choice however they do not.

Note, answers that apply in UK only please

I'm 55, on disability, we rent. this would deplete my IRA accts (various mutual funds & some lame stocks) to only neg yeilds at this time. should we bite the bullet (ie ints as high as 30%) and pay-off as much ea/mo as we can, OR pay the one time penalty (I don't know how much that would be) and pay off all debts above a certain % rate, OR ??? Thanks, in advance, for any ideas, opinions, help---consolations ;D

I don't see any reason that you shouldn't help yourself first but after that what would be the best way to help others?
