Personal Finance - October 2007

I am thinking about moving to an inexpensive Latin American city and practicing free love with all the attractive mamacitas, wearing protection of course. Should I do this? What city would be the best? I've been to the Dominican Republic and loved it there. Help me to decide.

I have money orders that I need to cash. Do I have to wait for it to clear like a normal check if I cash it at my bank? Or do I receive the money immediately up front?

My husbands mother has stage 4 bone cancer and the dr.s have said she has 2-3 months to live. She would never discuss any of her finances with us, so we're just finding out that she has no life insurance, no savings, etc. She does have a 401k, but doesn't want to touch it until it's fully vested, and we have no idea when that is. She knows that if she dies with money in the bank, or the 401k, the state will get it. My husband has 4 brothers, and while they've all agreed her final costs should be split, they're looking to us for the majority of it, bc my husband makes more than them. However, I think they're overlooking the fact that besides our bills and all, we have 2 kids and he pays $1000 a month in child support to his ex. How do we get them to understand we're not rich, and at the same time come to an agreement on a funeral plan? And how do we pick a funeral plan in the first place that's both tasteful yet not as expensive?

I am overdrawn in my checking account with Wells Fargo in the amount of $1,600 for about 30 days now. The bank has indicated that they may close the account and charge it off. My question is, if they do close the account and charge it off, can they still prosecute me as well after the account has been closed and charged off?

Hello,
I have a vacation home overseas and wanted to buy a car from here and ship it there (buying it locally is not an option). The problem is if I get an auto loan, the title will be in my hand but the bank will hold a lien. The problem is shipping companies won't ship the car unless u have a clean title. Does anyone know of any banks/credit unions..etc who wouldn't necessary require a lien or at least make an exception by giving me a letter that says I can ship it.

Personal loans, which do not require a collateral have high interest rates and using an equity line of credit is not going to work for me b/c of the current real estate market. So these two options are not possible either.

Any thought?

Thanks in advance,

I have heard you can make xtra income completing surveys on the internet. I tried some, but all they do is enter you in a drawing to win money. I need to make the money.
I found one webstie, www.paidsurveyprogram.com and they actually pay you. To join it cost $39.95. I really am in need of this xtra income ASAP, but I don't want to waste my time or my money. Does anyone know of this website or is anyone a member and do you actually make money. Please Help!
Also does anyone know of a honest way to make xtra income from home part-time, I already have something full-time, I just need part-time and flexible. Thanks!

I am exploring my options to keep from going bankrupt. If I refinanced my home, took my 50,000 equity then foreclosed what would the income tax from the 50k come to?

I've been trying to get a car loan but i keep getting denied. My credit score is 720 no blemishes. The problem is i have only one year of history and 1 month of loan history. Not enough to get a loan. So I still need a cosigner. But the only person who can cosign for me is my mom who has a credit score of 560. Shes is a homeowner. The only reason her score is low is because of my student loans and a some late payments. No bankruptcys or collections or anything like that. Would it be worth a try to apply for a loan with her as my cosigner, or would they deny it because she is already overextended?

I want to start my own business, and I am planning on either starting my own financial firm and spreading it around, or starting a shipping business. I am not sure exactly how I should go on about it. I am an extremely ambitious person and money is important to me, and one of the only ways to get really rich is to start your own business.

I need to know if it's as bad as everyone says it is. I want your experience and what chapter you filed.

Thanks. I just want to be debt free. I dont even care about my credit anymore. I have a car loan. I'll just keep it and still pay it and that 'll keep my credit going good right?

Would it be terribly stupid to take out a small personal loan ($5,000?) and invest maybe half of it in a CD or mutual fund or something else? I'm deeply in debt and need much more income than my job provides.
