Or are they just make believe, selling on their covers dreams that sound attainable but truly are unrealistic?

I applied online to open a savings account at a bank where I already have a checking account. After I opened the account I had to print the application, sign it, and mail it to them. I mailed it to them the same day I opened the account, about 3 weeks ago. I recently got an email saying they havent received it yet. I was wondering if my account gets closed will I get my money thats in it?

I think this is my last question for today LOL

Is it better to pay off a debt the whole amount or to try and settle?

I can see both sides of this: If I pay the whole amount it looks better cause it says paid off and a balance of $0. But if it is already negative on my credit report, then why would it matter?

Also, should I pay the ones that are smaller in amount in full? (I have 11 accounts that are around $200 or under.) I have 2 accounts that are over $500...both of those accounts are listed as two years or older. Should I only try to settle with those two accounts?

Thanks Again! You guys have been great!

I am in the process of finalizing my divorce. My soon-to-be ex-husband racked up a lot of debt in my name (or on joint accounts) during the time we were married. But because he is living and working overseas, the creditors cannot go after him for the debt. What can I do to take care of this? I make enough money for myself and my children to live on, but not enough to shell out thousands to pay this debt. Is bankruptcy the way to go? If not, some suggestions?? Thanks for the help!

My father passed away 30 years ago and I finally got some money 25,000. I am hoping to put it into an interest bearing account of some type, but want access to at least half as I am remodeling my house to hopefully sell it this summer.
I am a single head of household mother with 3 kids and live in AZ. My boyfriend and I bought an old house almost 2 years ago, which we can sell this summer without penalty.

Wondering what is the best way to do this. I could divide the money up into a savings and something else too. Do not want a tax hit, I am in education so I am in the lowest bracket.

I plan to get as much advice from different sources as I can before I decide what to do.
Any good suggestions would be appreciated!

i got an email (several actually) from different companies that want me to accept payment on their behalf, take 10-15% for myself, then western union the balance to them. has anyone actually done this and is it legitimate? ive heard of some scams where the payemnt doesnt clear after youve already wired the cash, then youre out of the money yourself, but what if you wait until funds cleared and then sent it?

I am looking into purchasing a house and fixing up for profit to build my own home. In the meantime I would like to contribute to something that will show me maximum return on my money. Does anyone know about some kind of high-yield savings account or something like that? I don't know if that's my best bet or something else. Thank you.
