So many articles I've read about rolling over your 401(k) to an IRA advise the reader to seek his/her financial advisor for help. But where does one find a financial advisor?! I'm young and don't think I want to shell out big bucks to hire someone (who? an accountant?) I've only just met to help me with this transition, should I need to in the near future. (Layoffs are imminent at my place, unfortunately. Now it's just a question of who gets the axe.) I don't want to make mistakes. So far, Yahoo! Answers has been my "financial advisor," a term I'm sick of now, to be honest....

How to manage and improve your credit score ... "credit score" "hip hop's financial advisor" "million bucks" ...
I currently work at a very well known ans successful company in a call center. I've been hear 5 years and I am starting to hate it more & more. The job is not hard but I'm sick of being glued to a seat and having people watch my every move. Worst there are no signs of moving up because management seems to block every possiblity. Because I'm starting to dislike it so much I have went form being the top employee to almost the bottom. People keep telling me you can make BIG bucks selling life insurance and I won't have to be open to work 24/7 even hoildays. I've stayed here cause my current job pays well with great benifits and I feel stuck and afraid to make a move because i don't want it to be the wrong one. What should I do? HELP!!!!!!!

I have recently transferred from one university to another and had to switch my financial aid over, however it won't be verified until probably mid January so I'll probably have to pay for the first half of my classes out of pocket (my school has a payment program, I don't know if many others do, where you pay a percentage of your entire tuition and make payments from there) so I'll be forking out 400 bucks next week, my financial aid advisor says they'll reimburse me when my financial aid goes through, but I just would like to know how that works? Will I get a check in the mail for the amount I have spent on school? what about books? I have never bought books with financial aid money, normally my aunt pays for them, but on the payment system my school has set up you can purchase your books and the cost is split into your payments, will financial aid pay for the books I buy on my payment program?
ALSO one last question, when it comes to the refund you get from financial aid (the money you didn't spend on your semesters thats left over) do you still get it if you transfer schools and if my financial aid is still pending when they normally do refunds?
universities.atwebpages.com - it has detailed info how to apply for financial aid and scholarships to get more cash.
We make good money but the property taxes where we live are killing us. We would like to sell & downsize but don't know if we could sell for what we owe. The house needs some cosmetic work but we can't afford to do the work. We don't have good credit. Wonder if we did sell, would we be able to get a smaller mortgage without a down payment. My question really is we want to sit down and talk with someone about our situation but not sure who we should talk with. Do we contact a financial advisor? A realtor? A mortgage company? How do we find a reputable person not trying to make a buck off us (which we don't have!). We have 2 kids and one will be going to college in a year. This is another reason we need to get a smaller mortgage.
We have been late on some mortgage payments but have set up a payment plan with the mortgage company and they are suppose to show our mortgage as current. I don't know if they show it current dating back to the first late payment or starting with the date of the agreement. Also I tried to get them to lower our interest rate. We have a 1st fixed rate mortgage at 7.25% and a home equity adjustable at 13%. Both are interest only. So we're paying 19% for the 2 mortgages! They say we don't qualify. We can't refinance because we don't have enough equity in the house. Oh and we live in Illinois.
Thank you for all your feedback. We really would like to stay in our house. We'll talk to a realtor but sounds like we may have to find a way to stay here. If we can hang tight for a year hopefully things will change and we can get our credit back in order in that time (hopefully!)
A "good" realtor should be able to help with those questions. FInd someone whos been in business for a long time and don't be afraid to get references.
CitiCorp announced several days ago that Financial giant Morgan Stanley was acquiring struggling Financial Management Co. Smith Barney (they make money the old fashion way...)
Experts now say Citi is struggling mightily to keep its stock above $5 a share, and say CitiGroup will divest a whooping $600 BILLION in assets in an attempt to SURVIVE!
Remember, Citi was the recipient of nearly $300 BILLION in federal bailout money, by far the largest handout and dwarfing the total $130 Billion AIG received (and partied away)
Where have all the flowe...Bailout Bucks go?
And did Treasury Sec.Paulson and the Financial advisers scare us into wasting that money?
Now, DO WE TRUST THEY GOVERNMENT WITH ANOTHER TRILLION BUCKS??????????
What say you America?
And shame on the so-and-so pinhead that got my last question on the economy violated...did he score in the bailout fraud too?
Please opine if so inclined, and remember, even I have freedom of speech! (and the right to misspell an occasional word!)
At this minute (noon Weds) the Dow avaerage is down huge because of the CitiGroup situation coupled with the now completed sale of Smith Barney for just over 2 Billion.
Poohcat...turn on ANY news channel right now!!!!
waninnonni! great answer!
Yes Bill they did.
Like the banks who accepted this money from us ( the taxpayers), Citibank probably placed the cash into "savings" so it will acquire interest until it is time to pay it back. Rather than give out good loans to folks who have and maintain good credit and correct mistakes like they should have, they pulled open all the loopholes in a crappy bill and manipulated the morons in office. Since there was hardly any oversight and a whole lot of "stupid" tightly tethered in the first half of the cash, lots of banks banks truly benefited from the ignorance of Congress.
Why would they loan out more money to people who won't pay it back anyway?
Exactly.
Shame on every one of you who support bailout bills!
