Would it be a bookkeeper? Or a financial adviser? Or... what?

Granted, if it is possible I'm sure the answer would be do do both, but that being said is it legal to do so? I currently have a IRA and am looking to join a company which has a 401k program, if I do join the company can I continue making contributions to my IRA as well as the 401k?

On a side point I currently have a small side business which potentially could add up to something worthwhile (not Bill Gates successfull or anything remotely close). If the side business takes off, can I put the proceeds into something similar for the self employed, even though it's not my primary source of income? If not other thoughts would be welcome.

Thanks in advance.

I purchased a new truck and traded in my car I have decided that I don't think this is a good idea for my finances and was wondering if i can change my mind? There is nothing wrong with either car I just ain't sure it was the best decision for my family.

It says I won in the third category and they sent me a check for $2,600.00 to cover taxes. I contacted my agent I was assigned, and she said to deposit my $2,600.00 and when the money clears to wire transfer $2,500.00 to Canada using the remaining $100.00 and then my Winnings will be activated and a certified check for $120,000.00 will be sent UPS with in five days. Is this real???

Please no online banks. Just banks like chase or apple bank or washington mutual.

I heard apple bank is giving savings account 5.25 interest right now in a savings account.

Can anyone else add more to the list? Thanks...

I asked a serious question a few days ago. I got a horrible response! I aksed if there was anywhere I could get some help through a tough time and the answer I got was so RUDE. Someone replied I need lifestyle changes and need to get back with my hubby and get him to work! If life was that easy! 1st off (if u r the one who wrote that) My husband left me for a high school girl that works at the grocery store, b/c he didn't want to responsibility of a family! 2nd, if it were that easy to make him work, don't u think i would have done that? 3rdly, I can't make anymore "lifestyle" changes. We don't have a phone, internet, cable, just the basics to survive. Daycare costs half my pay every 2 weeks. So, next time think before you speak! If anyone has had a totally rude response, here's your chance to let 'em have it! I'll give the points to the best butt chewing!

Okay, I feel really dumb.I just placed my first big order Sunday since I became an Independent Beauty Consultant like almost a month ago.My total came to be $364.50 for Wholesale Subtotal, $471.83 was my Cost of the Order Total, and $775.25 is Taxable Amount, $729.00 is Suggested Retail.I was trying to put in an order of $400 Retail because they told me that that would be the only way that I would start getting my 50% Profit Discount.I totalled $287.50 after adding up what my customers order this time, and the rest of the orders were mine and some inventory that I ordered, and I also ordered some samples.What I do not understand is out of the $287.50 of customer order, what am I making because I pretty much have to pay back that amount to my debit card when I collect the money from customers. Am I loosing all that money? I thought I would only have to pay half of what each item cost?Please explain to me what I need to le
