Recent college grad....Should I start saving up for an emergency fund first and then focus on paying down my debt, or should I devote eveything I got to bringing my debt down and worry about an emergency fund later? I have my student loans, which are only about 13k, and a car loan which is under 7k. Not too bad, but it owuld be nice to be rid of the car loan at least.

I had a discussion with a co-worker. She said the love of money is root of all evil. I personally love money because it provides me food and shelter. It helps me take care of my family. I don't spend much, I always create a budget for things that I need. I know the difference between "needs" and "wants". She keeps saying my love of money is wrong and also said rich people are evil. I just don't get why people always say this about the love of money and rich peope are evil. What do you say?

I keep getting these letters in the mail from PUBLISHERS CLEARING HOUSE telling me that I have a chance to win 10 million dollars. Last week I got this green envelope and inside it said that I could win 10 million dollars and that this guy with balloons and flowers and cameras are going to come to my house on Feb 28 and I'm supposed to say this line "I just won 10 million dollars from publishers clearing house and now I know it's real". Is this just another one of those stupid scams? Or are they for real?

I heard there is a way you can get a house but your getting it with only payin interest. which means your slicing the cost in half for what you pay a month. can any one explain it to me? like if you were to buy the house and pay 1200 a month you would only pay like 600 but u would not be owning it u would be like renting like an apartment. but is it exactly half of what it costs? and can some one explain it more to me?
