In Australia.
The cheque is from Bendigo Bank, I don't have an account with Bendigo Bank.
They also haven't put my full name on the cheque, ie. they've put Sarah instead of Sarah-Kate, will that be a problem?

I am 17 and I want to earn more money later in lfe. I don't want to be covered in debt. So, I started out with 2k+ USD 5 months ago and opened a mutual fund account here in my country and I am planning to add a minimum of 1k+ USD or more monthly to the mutual funds account starting next year. I sacrifice now so that later in life I will take the fruits of my labor. Besides the trust funds in my country, I also have trust funds in US. I don't buy new mobile phones, PS3, Ipod, etc.... They depreciate a lot anyway. Am I on the right track? I plan to enter real estate later in life by building hotels, etc... and creating some businessess too. Will there be a chance that I can be like Donald Trump or some other great person? I know a Senator in my country who was VERY POOR at a young age but ended up with 950 Million USD in his pocket today... Oh, besides the mutual funds, I have savings accounts too here in my country and abroad. I don't plan to touch any of them soon.

My family just got out of debt, then I lost my job. It is just my mother, my son, and I. I will be going back to school this fall but my mother wants me to take a few classes this spring and she has taken out a loan to pay for tuition and books. I just paid over 3000 to get her out of debt and now she want to get back in for my education. Would you take it or not? She keeps saying that she is investing in her future because as soon as I finish school I can take care of her. Advice please.
