I want to get out of credit card debt. I'm in college, but am working. I have several cards that are at their limits, and have used most of my savings trying to pay the interest each month. I probably have a total of $5000 in debt, and while I make around $8000-10000 a year, I do have other expenses to pay. What are my options?

I have a medical bill from 10 years ago, that I was just told about. It's not like it's a million dollars or anything, but I would think that if I owed this money, someone should have contacted me before ten years had passed!! The hospital is telling me I owe the money, and I don't know how to check it.

Can I avoid paying it legally? If someone can refer me to the proper statute in the Ohio Revised Code or whatever, I would appreciate it!

If you and your spouse cannot agree on some financial goals, perhaps the solutions to handle your money separately instead of pooling it.

The issue being the credit check. I have good credit, but I have not had a job in a while. This obviously effects the decsion on wether to give me a loan or not. I have more than enough money to pay for a nice car.

I just booked a vacation to vegas and think I may have spent too much based on what I make. What I spent is about a month's worth of my yearly earnings. Is that normal? What should be the actual percent of your yearly income that goes to a vacation do you think?

My brother is very rich and a very successful business man who wants for nothing. He has everything he wants and can buy anything he wants. I on the other hand are struggling to pay my bills each month, but he has worked very hard for his money and employs me and pays me well. I admire him so much.

In December he is 40 and I really want to buy him something very special. I have 6 months to save. I am willing to spend about £250.

Any ideas would be greatfully received. Thanks.

The don't-buy-gasoline on May 15th boycott really doesn't solve the problem does it? I mean, we still have to buy the same amount of gasoline unless we change our driving habits. What about buying only a half-tank at a time and reducing our driving to create a surplus thus forcing oil companies to lower prices?

I'm 47. I'm working two jobs - manual labor. One job has 401k, but I can't invest in it at this time. I'm working 70 hours per week - it's just making me feel old and tired. I rent and live alone. I'm paying down two significant older debts. There are other debts I'm putting on the back burner. I pay child support - I just got caught up to date with that payment. I don't have a tv, or any expensive toys. Car repairs have taken a big chunk of my income - and I still need to do more just to make my old car safe.

I had a bf leave me with a car repo and the company will settle for $2500 if I pay that off in 3 months. I have a part-time job in addition to my full-time job and it's just not enough to cover it. Any ideas???

I recently took another job with a better retirement/benefit plan. I had worked for 10 years at another place and wanted to know what should I do with the money that had been put into my retirement plan. I want to roll it over to something else seeing as I'm not contributing to it anymore. I do have a financial advisor, but wanted some other opinions as well.
