Personal Finance - September 2007

I'm home taking care of my mother.I recently went on a personal medical leave from work,I work in retail for the past 6 years and hate every waking moment of it and think a work at home job would be great.I'm not looking to make 50 billion dollars in 10 days.I need a steady income of about 2000 a month.Please can anyone help me out here? I can't put money up,just want something legit that I can earn money.I don't mind talking on the phone,and I type very fast.Can someone direct me in the right way? I heard about a club277 that is hiring for phone work,but was wondering if anyone has tried it? I think it's an escort service,kind of shady???? thanks

My husband lost his job and i went on bed rest and maternity leave right at the same time. He has another job making alot less and hour and i just got started back to work ...... but....... We are so behind and backed up we can't get caught up. We are trying to sell our house before it forecloses and we are 3 or 4 months past due on all of our many credit cards and small loans. I also have a car payment every month. Our credit is screwed right now because of all this. I am tired of bill collecters calling me. Our bank said to do debt consolidation through them. Should i do that or bankruptcy? WE are desperate. or should we just use our paychecks to slowly try to get caught up?

I'm trying to consolidate all my high interest loans and credit cards into one monthly payment. I currently pay over 600 dollars a month. I need to borrow 12,0000 to do so. I have fair credit and have been current on all my payments for the last three years. I have tried prosper.com it is a fake. I had two listings and even tried to join a group. Not even one bid. I have been employed for three years on the same job. I don't understand why I keep getting turned down. If anyone has any info please help. Thanks

I am working on my budget and I wanted to know what the general public thought was right.

I have always heard that your house payment should only be a certain percentage of your income, but I can't remember what it is...

Anyway...What percentage should all of your payments, meaning debt, bills, house, etc... take up. What is a good situation, an okay situation, and a bad situation?

I have paid off my credit cards. I now have around $2000.00 a month on hand. Will I be better off paying off my mortgage earlier by adding this extra payment or putting that money in a 401K type of plan that my employer has. If I stick to the plan I will have my house paid off in 9 years and saved a ton of money in interest.

I have £130,000 mortgage. I deposit £129,000 into the savings pot. Does the mortgage still run for the full term? I just want to offset a big chunk of the interest.

I also have another 23k in rental income bringing total gross income of 133k. From what I've researched it seems I'd only be able to put a very small amount in an IRA. Any suggestions or ideas are appreciated, especially if you are in a similar situation and have first hand knowledge.

When we got divored our debts were separate, I kept mine, he kept his. How can Asset Acceptance take an old debt that they bought and claim that they have the right to get money from me although I never promised to pay them anything? I have been off work due to permanent disability for many years. My ex-husband is gainfully employed and so they went into his acount and removed the money without any prior warning. I believe that my name might have been on the bank account although I had no personal access to that account since our divorce. Is there anything I can do to keep this from happening to him again?

My husband and I own a home in Colorado. We are currently renting it out because we could not sell it. The rent we are getting covers roughly 75% of the mortgage. We now live in a different state and are currently renting to own a home. We also have roughly $400 a month in credit card debt.

To make matters more complicated, the home we own has a 5-year ARM set to readjust in May, what should our focus be and what do we have going for us?

I set up an account that has an age limit on it for savings purposes. I set the age that i could have the money to 25, of which i am now 20. I have managed to save almost 30,000 bux, and my mother is the co-signer on the account. But lately, my parents have hidden the account statements from me, and yell at me when i ask for them. They have also been buying items that far exceed their income level. They have bought two older cars, all new furniture and even a new big screen tv. I have talked to the bank but they cannot let me access the account since it is in my mother's name, but transfered to me when i turn 25. Is there anything i can do? Should i turn to the police or seek legal advice? I live in ontario canada, any advice would be great.

Thank you in advance.

Most of us have at least one bad habit when it comes to money and what we do or don't do with it. For me my bad money habit has always been giving in to my impulses and buying things I really don't need. It's such a hard habit to break but after not being able to shop for a while as I had no funds, I think that actually helped me out a bit. Now my focus is more on saving and trying to figure out how to invest my money and make it work for me rather than how fast I can spend it. What's your bad money habit?

I want to negotiate some of the debt to be removed completely from my CR, for a percentage, but I don't want it re-dated (of course). Should I even contact the companies that are within a year of falling off or should I just let old dogs lie?
