Posted Monday October 24 2011, 10:09 pm
I've been thinking about going to the Europe on a Vacation but I am confused to how their currency works. According to Google 700 American dollars would be around 500 in Europe? I'm so confused, Why is it less? How exactly does this all work?

Can I bring him to court?
Posted Thursday October 13 2011, 1:18 pm
I was dating this guy on and off for awhile, and we're officially done for good after this incident.
What happened is that he told me he was short money for rent last month and his dad would kick him out if he didn't come up with it, so I felt bad and I lent him $300 on the terms that he would pay me back by October 31st, because his work hours were supposed to pick up in the next weeks and he'd be able to come up with the money. I even had him sign a contract with these terms and we both signed it and so did a friend of mine as a witness.
Basically what happened is that I found out he lied about the rent, he was never short money and he was never going to get kicked out. He just wanted to buy a new stereo for...

Low credit score, need a credit card.
Posted Saturday September 17 2011, 3:06 pm
So I'm a college student that has never had a credit card. I'm thinking I should start building up my credit, but I've been rejected twice already due to my LACK of credit.
Apparently my credit score is a 543, which is keeping me from being accepted. I have a job, but I JUST started it and only earn about 100/week.
I'm new to this so I have some questions:
- How long do I need to have and use a credit card for my credit score to go up? And how much does it go up?
- If I get a card, I plan on never buying something I won't be able to pay off at the end of the month (so as to not pay interest). Will this affect it? Also, is there a difference between buying something for $20 every month and paying i...

how much should I charge?
Posted Sunday August 28 2011, 6:58 am
I need your opinion on how much I should charge the school I am teaching (as a part time faculty) because I made a module for this subject (Personality Development) that is 36 hours. The school is run by a foundation. I researched the topics to include, I made the module (like hand outs), I made the activities per topic, I made a power point presentation per topic, and everytime that they will offer the subject, they now have a module for every student. I just dont know how much should they pay me for that service. I want it to be reasonalbe for both. Thanks!!
BTW I will be teaching the subject too, but then, anyone can teach it now since I have made the module already. easy!

Money and the postgraduate affair
Posted Monday August 15 2011, 11:33 pm
How do I start from scratch? as in a job? make money and become independent?
college experience has taught me nothing but anxiety and dread of bills. i lived paycheck to paycheck so no savings...
I am talking no money to my name, no place, about 5000$ credit card debt, recently lost my scholarship (which payed for home, pocket money, school, food...etc), and no job prospects.
I just finished my masters in media but can't find a job that would hire me... somehow everything I've found related to "media" comes up as information technology, programming, or journalism. Which is nothing close to what I do... My BA background is in Art (conceptual, and photography)... I had something in mind ...

Program Monitoring For Japanese Television?
Posted Tuesday August 2 2011, 12:15 pm
Hello,
I was channel flicking the other day and saw a television news channel advertising the role of "TV Program Monitor". You basically watch their television shows, and send them a 300 word report on what you thought. That's the only detail they give, and i checked on their website and they say they pay remunerations of 3000 Japanese Yen (Its a japenese TV channel that broadcasts in english).
So my question is, what is the exact role of of a program monitor, besides watching tv and letting them know what you think?
Also, how good of a useful skill is this? Im desperate for things to put on my resume, and I know that this isn't going to get me a top job that pays well, but would you describ...

Can I get the money that was witheld for taxes back? All of it?
Posted Sunday July 17 2011, 7:12 pm
Hi all-
This summer I have been working at a little cafe, not a chain restaurant or anything just a local place to eat.
I get paid $8 an hour, but after the taxes are taken out of my paycheck its only about $7 an hour! I lose about $50 from my paycheck every WEEK!
Some of my friends get paid straight $8 an hour without tax deductions because of the deal that if it is only a temporary job (such as employed for less than 6 months or something like that?), then money won't be deducted.
I am not planning on returning to this job next year; so since this would qualify as a "temporary job," is there ANYTHING I can do to get back the money that has been deducted?
I have ...

Posted Saturday July 2 2011, 1:08 pm
So I started work about a month ago at a day care making 7.40 an hour well I work through the county and they are one pay period behind which means it will take four weeks to get paid instead of two however it only has one pay period on the first check and I will get one check after I stop working. Well my boss lost my payment information and needed to see my documents again to verify I am legal and I had to fill it out again however this was after I had been working for two weeks and I am curious if this means I will get paid the twentieth instead of the fifth now?
I thought I'd get paid the twentieth but yesterday I received my accela pay card in the mail. However their is no money on it yet but I am anxious to know if it is going ...

Need money NOW!!!
Posted Tuesday June 28 2011, 6:45 pm
I'm a twelve year old girl and need cash...fast.
I owe:
$29 to my mom for not returning books borrowed from the library using her card
$6 more to my mom for breaking her compact powder (I'm clumsy)
$10.65 to library for books not returned
I also need a lot of extra cash because we're taking a trip in five days. My mom deprived me of $50 (birthday money I just got yesterday) because of the $35 I owe her. Add in all those expenses and that leaves me with... negative $90.35. ( I have $5) I also need to buy summer clothes (my closet is full of sweatshirts and long pants). Help!!!!!!! :(

What do I do after I've narrowly avoided a financial scam?
Posted Saturday June 25 2011, 5:31 pm
I was selling paintings on Craigslist when a potential buyer contacted me; I let him know the paintings were still available. Later, he told me that his assistant accidentally sent me money that was meant for another seller and begged me to cash the money order, keep what he owes me, and send him a money order for the remainder. This was a little fishy (so was his failure to, in our many exchanges and despite my questioning, specify which painting he was buying), but I decided to have good faith. Today, however, the money orders (that's right, plural) arrived in the mail and it turned out that he overpaid me not by $50 or $100, but by nearly two grand. At this point, I took to the internet, realized it's probably a scam, and contacted Money...

Bankruptcy
Posted Monday May 16 2011, 12:01 pm
Hi a friend of mine is starting a business in a different country, he gave me his savings so I can transfer it to him when he gets there and start the business. After transferring the money I found out his savings was a loan, he is now going to claim bankruptcy and start a life in a different country. I thought I was helping a friend and now I feel involved in his bankruptcy. Can the loan company come after me because I sent him the money?
I have no joint accounts with him, he was just a friend, he gave me the funds in a bank cheque so I thought it was good money... Should I be worried?
