My vet bill was much larger than expected, due to complications during a procedure to my dog. I am being charged 24% interest or 7$ minimum on the balance each month. This is higher than anyone has charged me, besides the credit card folks. Is this legal?

I am almost 50, work fulltime but have no extra cash after the bills a paid. Although, I am trying all the time to generate more cash. I don't have enough to get a car. Now, the car that I bought my mother (73 years old) brand new 10 years ago, just died and I am in no position to help her either. We live in Detroit and we both need just simple cars before winter. We have always had cars and used them to help so many others in need, like youth and senior citizens. Any serious, but creative ideas out there?

Is there a good website with explanations on terms such as mutual fund, bonds, equities...that also explains how to get started? I need help understanding person finance and investments. Any useful advice appreciated.

Met a guy around 32 years of age that I've been seeing for awhile now. We got into the discussion of money. He has a good job (been there 12 years), but doesn't really have any savings (about $900) and lives paycheck to paycheck. He's been divorced awhile now and received just about $14,000 after all was said and done. That $14000 has since been spent--in about 4-5 months. I'm a saver and have money invested in a 401K plus a state retirement plan. I kind of got a shock when he indicated it didn't matter to him if he was "financially secure" when it came time to make big decisions whether it be to buy somthing or start a family...he just does it. I asked this question in the singles/dating forum and got only one answer that indicated "maybe you can teach him how to save money". My gut tells me to not pursue. Please tell me I'm not shallow for thinking about money when it comes to dating/relationships. Are there any guys out there in their 30's that like to save like I do?

there is a loan my ex spouse and I are splitting in half and its in our divorce papers. I have not received any money for the loan, and the loan is just in my name. I dont know what to do, what i can do, or if there is anything at all i can do. I was told I can take my ex spouse to court and have their wages garnished... the thing is they live in oregon, and i live in california, will that cause conflict?

My boyfriend & I have been together for 8 yrs. & we have 2 children ages 4 & 5. I am a stay-at-home-mom because I have one child home and one who will start school in Aug. We live in the state of Georgia where the public school system sucks. We both agree that we need to put both of the chlidren in private school. We did not search for a private school early enough to start my 5 year old this year, so she will start public school in August and Private school with our other child next year.My boyfreind makes around $2,500-$2,900 per month. Our monthly expense total to around $1,600-$1,900 per month keeping in mind we don't have a car. We are about to purchase a car & so my 1st issue is the type of car we should get.I want a good, reliable car (Honda)that cost under $9,000 so that we can pay it off quickly. He wants a Chrysler 300 for around $16,000 & I'm like "hell NO" & on top of that he wants to buy rims $1,000+ as if having the car is not enough.

Sears was charging a rate of 26% interest rate, maybe that's fine and legal, but they made up for it with all kinds of service charges. On a $2,000 dollar bill, if I sent in a min. payment of $50. , only $2. would go to the principal, the rest went to service charges. At that rate I would be paying for the rest of my life, I stopped paying altogether, now my credit is all messed up. Was what they were doing legal?
