New York on a budget
Posted Thursday June 5 2008, 2:15 am
Two(possibly three)of my friends and I are hoping to move to New York for the summer next year, ideally in or as close as possible to the East Village or closer to the Times Square area. I was wondering if anyone could tell me what we might expect to pay for an apartment? any tips on cheaper places? Also, what areas would and wouldn't be generally considered safe to live in?

Posted Tuesday June 3 2008, 1:58 pm
I have a car that is about to be re-possessed and was wondering what would be more damaging to my credit, re-possession or filing bankruptcy to avoid paying for the vehicle that I cosigned to purchase with my mother for my sister?

shopping & shipping
Posted Tuesday June 3 2008, 1:43 am
i didn't know under which category i should be labeling this under......
bare w/ me.
ok so i live in canada and i want to buy stuff from american stores like target or nordstrom or other stores but none of them ship internationally. I've heard of a company that offers a service where you can rent a mailbox or something (basically an address to provide) and have your things shipped there and then that company ships it to you... does anyone know what it's called and how much it costs aprox?

Extra fees for drivers ed?
Posted Monday June 2 2008, 5:44 pm
If I got my permit before September of last year, do I have to pay the extra fee (extra $200) or go the extra 15 hours?!!?!? Cuz that would be just ridiculous.

economy
Posted Monday June 2 2008, 2:32 pm
SO, how bad do you think the economy is really going to get? I see gas prices soaring, my rent was just raised AGAIN, we have lost two contract accounts at work, and it seems like people are generally broke. In your opinion, how bad can it get before it gets better, should I be saving every penny? thanks

car insurance with suspended license
Posted Sunday June 1 2008, 11:12 pm
I'm an 18 year-old male in Georgia. While I was 17 years old, I got a ticket for running a stop sign and a ticket for speeding, and apparently, those two tickets are enough to get my license suspended for six months. It is suspended from May 2008-October 2008.
My mom had to drop me from her insurance payments because the cost of my car insurance became so expensive since the suspension. Once my license is no longer suspended, I don't know how I'm going to afford car insurance. My mom said it's something like $200 a month or more.
What do I do? Are there any insurance companies that would work with my situation and offer me a low rate or something? :(

I need a job!
Posted Thursday May 29 2008, 9:07 pm
Okay here's the deal. I just lost my job. My husband is the only one making in the house and it's not enough to support my two children and pay all the bills. This is a distress call. I'm a 42 year old woman and I'm not getting any younger!
I did try to file for unemployment I was denied. In fact If I don't find a job soon, my husband said we might have to get rid of the Internet. That made my kids mad. Answer as soon as possible please!

I need to make money
Posted Thursday May 15 2008, 1:03 am
Hi there...
I need to make money to pay my loan... i'm a full time student. i volunteer, and i have to take care of my parents since they depend so much on me to take care of them ( i am the youngest and they're old...) I can't find a decent job... more specifically no one will hire me.... most of my job experience is from volunteer work (just because i got most of these opportunities through my college career center and because these big companies were to cheap to pay the "small people") anyway... i work harder than anyone i know... and i really need to make money to pay my last year of college... how can i make money but still be able to maintain decent steady (i am not saying stress free or relaxed!) time flow! ...

torn between two jobs.
Posted Thursday May 8 2008, 8:53 pm
I'm in a difficult, awkward situation. You see, I work at a veterinary hospital that is about thirty minutes from home. I absolutely love working there: the office, the girls, the vet. In fact, the vet who hired me is sort of like a second dad to me (I knew him long before he hired me). I only work there a couple of times a week, but they want me to start working full time as soon as I can because two (of the 4 people that work there, not including me) of the girls are pregnant and one is having her baby soon so she'll be out of work for a while, and second is having her baby a few months after that, so we lose two full time employees.
What's the problem? I just got a job offer from another vet who treats my bunny. He is sup...

what is wrong with my goldfish?
Posted Sunday April 27 2008, 12:02 am
I just bought 4 fish yesterday.
They are in the right size tank and have the right filter for the tank and plants etc.
The lady at the pet shop helped me.
I have two little Fantales and two little Black Moors.
The Fantales are fine and swim around and everything but I have noticed that the Black Moors will just lie on the bottom of the tank or just float near the top under the top of a plant.
The other two fish are fine but.
What is wrong?!

W-4 Form
Posted Sunday March 30 2008, 1:54 am
I recently got hired at a big retail company and my manager gave me a PACKET of paperwork to fill out...(I'm only 17 btw) Anyway, the paperwork includes W-4 forms, W-5 forms and the WOTC form? (Could anyone tell me what that is?) My parents don't really understand English so It's up to me to fill out this paper work on my own. Anyway, the packet she gave me has the 2007 W-4 forms...is this okay for me to fill out since this is 2008? Or should I go back to my manager and tell her that she gave me the wrong packet? Or is it okay if I still fill it out? I feel like I've bothered and called her enough...
Also, what is a WOTC form?
Thanks to anyone who can help!
