Open Question: My mother lives with us, she recently had a birthday, she is 97 years young?

Monday, June 30th, 2008

She called my brother and had him fly here to have a family meeting. My mother has an accountant who handles her finances, also she is very actively involved. The reason for the meeting is to inform us of what she wants to do with her estate, and what she has written in her will. My feeling is, it is her money etc, she should do what she wants. My brother, feels completely different, he feels everything she has should be divided between him and me….My question…do you feel parents owe their children an inheritance…just because your parents made a lot of money, who says it belongs or should go to you…..do I feel this way because I have been blessed, and dont want for anything….would I feel different if I needed the money….

Open Question: The local University has a very competitive biz school and ….?

Monday, June 30th, 2008

I just don’t have the time to fill all their requirements just to hope to get into the program (they think they are Harvard or something) so should I stick with my major in Family and Human Development and hope for the best or should I go to a local career school and get a BS in Finance or Accounting? I just don’t know how much the name will matter.
I have a 4.0 gpa and have met all but one of their requirements, but they only allow 24 people into the program each semester which I think is stupid.

Open Question: Going into debt, and I need some financial advice! Thanks?

Monday, June 30th, 2008

So, my husband and I got WAY ahead of ourselves this past year. We bought a house, and a new car. Not good! He is military and when he gets deployed we have lots more money, but they havent deployed him in over a year…which is good for us, but not money wise. I am tired of the stress, and I would rather just get out of this mess and have my credit go down since its only average anyway. We are going to try and get re-stationed soon anyway..and, then we can start over and not be so ahead of ourselves. We want to start our family soon, and I really need to get things under control first. I found a cheap car…5,000 and it has 90,000 miles on it..pontiac grand am. Its a lot of miles, but its in nice condition. Im wondering if its a good idea to just go finance that car, and do a voluntary repo with my other..Im paying 350 a month..which I cant afford anymore. With the ponitac I would be able to pay it off within one year. My house payment is also going up another 250 because of taxes…?
sorry…i just need some good advice! How much will my credit go down if I do a voluntary repo? And, is it a good idea to get that other car?
We are also putting the house up for sale soon….hopefully we can sell it…

Open Question: i think ive been scammed?

Monday, June 30th, 2008

its my own fault i know. a year ago i started chatting to a middle eastern man on the net. he wasnt the friendliest of people, but we kept chatting and became close. he would come online daily, jealous of who i might be talking to, he would call me, and text me. he said he loved me , and we made arrangements for him to visit the uk. then he said his dad had an accident, being the eldest son of a lebanese family he had to help with the finances…..cut it short……i sent him about 400 quid, i became the only one of us who called, and spent 500 on a single phone bill. now he doesnt call much, i had cam sex with him, and i feel used and dirty. he really hurt me..how do i mend myself from this….i feel raw and wounded. i thought he really loved me.
yes i was/am emotionally connected..and its hurting like hell

Open Question: Wedding Reception in Edinburgh?

Monday, June 30th, 2008

My fiancée and I are getting married next year (overseas) and then having a blessing here in Edinburgh in August 09 for the family who couldn’t make it to the wedding.

We’ve got the church worked out for the blessing (the church we currently attend) but we’re stuck on trying to find a place to hold the reception that won’t include having to re mortgage the house to finance it! Can anyone suggest a place in (or near) Edinburgh that would be suitable for a wedding reception where the cost is reasonable for us non-millionaire’s.

We’d like to work on the idea that there’s won’t be more than 100 people attending - our current estimate puts the guest list at about 60.
