Help Debts

Posts Tagged ‘thousands of dollars’

Thinking about starting to trade in the stock market but only with small amounts to start out, somewhere around 100 to 300 dollars and was wondering if there are any good sites out there that would have minimal fees for such a small amount? I was referred to Scottrade, but told that this site is only good for thousands of dollars, and Sharebuilder as a good one for small trades.

What are your guys’s opinions? Any advice?

Mind you, this isn’t an investment thing, I am just doing htis in my free time to try to make a bit of extra money. I am not using money that I will need in the future, so don’t think I am going to go into debt or anything! Just figured this would be a better thing to do besides going to a casino and blowing my money.

Although I’ve told the nursing home where she presently abides that II am not responsible for the debts of my relative, they continue to send me bills for many thousands of dollars. I am trying to write a letter to them, using registered/certified rrr, but don’t how to phrase it so that I’m legally protected from her debts. Thank you

I have already finished a year of college. I spent my first semester at my state university, UNLV – a fifteen minute drive from my house. With my Pell Grant going to school costs me around ,000 a year and I’m eligible for scholarships now so that number could be even lower once I apply for them.

I spent my second semester at a small private Christian university in California. It costs about ,000 a year to attend and I am given ,500 in grants – the rest I have to take out in loans. Scholarships are not easy to apply for at this school, since it is not funded by the government so the chance of getting more free money is slim.

It was always my dream to go to a small, nice school out of state. I had a lot of fun at the Christian university. It was small, friendly, I made lots of friends right away, and it just felt like home from the moment I got there. I hated being away from my family though, so the only downside was the homesickness, oh and chapel 3 times a week (I was not into that).

I want to go to the Christian school, I really do, but right now I’m having the hardest time deciding if I should go back this fall. If I went back, I would be doing a "study abroad" program in Yosemite national park for the semester. I’d spend the entire semester learning and hiking in the woods. It seems like such a once in a lifetime opportunity so I am wondering why I’m having such a hard time wanting to go back. I’m a Christian and I like being around Christian people and not having the pressure to drink or party all the time. I liked being able to hang out and just do normal goofy things.

But on the other hand, I wouldn’t be getting myself into tens of thousands of dollars worth of debt at UNLV. My sister is starting college there this Fall, so we could go together and I could still live at home, which sounds REALLY good to me. She’s my best friend and I would love to go to school with her, I hated being so far away from my family. UNLV also has bigger research opportunities for me, which is important because I’m very set on going to a prestigious graduate school in the future.

I just don’t want to regret staying home. I don’t want to look back on my life and wish I had taken the opportunity to have amazing fun times at the Christian university with amazing friends and people. My personality is a coward by nature, which might be factoring into this. It takes a lot for me to get out of my comfort zone and do things that are unfamiliar, and a part of me is scared to death of the Yosemite semester, even though it would be life changing and great for me. I know that economically it’s smarter to stay at UNLV, but should I not make money an issue here? Is there more to life than saving money and doing things the "smarter" way? Do you think in the long run that my experiences at the second university would be priceless and the debt that follows won’t be impossible to deal with?

What do you think I should do? I know this was long, but I’m having an immensely difficult struggle with this right now. Any advice?

I’m extremely good at giving people advice on their personal problems, and very dedicated and compassionate, as well. Friends often turn to me for help, and I’ve helped more than one cope with serious difficulties. Yet, before I could start practicing as a clinical psychologist, I would have to go to school for 5 whole years and take on tens of thousands of dollars in debt. What a waste, when I could start practicing effectively right now!

I’m extremely well-versed in the Jewish religion and history, and very adept at pastoral counseling and building community. Yet to become a pulpit rabbi, I would have to go to school for 4 years and take on thousands of dollars in debt. What a waste!

I’m very skilled at understanding the strategy of high finance and politics. Yet, to get a decent start in either, I need to work for free for a year, OR get a grad degree from a top school that costs ,000 per year. I would end up with thousands of dollars in debt, and uncertain job prospects.

I had to postpone finishing my bachelor’s degree (for 1 year) at a school across the country because my husband’s job in that city fell through. We’re in debt for approx. 00. Should we save up this year and have thousands of dollars for the move next summer, or pay off debt and rely on credit for the move next summer? FYI: If he can’t find a job out there next summer we’ll just be living off whatever we’ve saved and hope we get jobs when we arrive in the new city.

Recent medical emergency, resulting in a trip to the ER, before and after a trip to a Cardiac Hospital has shifted my husband and myself from being debt free in less than two years, to having now tens of thousands of dollars in medical bills that no way we can pay, we just don’t make enough. Any advice in regards to filing bankruptcy, can they make us sell our home and become homeless. (live rural, so value isn’t like Florida or something, most we could get is between 15-22 thousand for the property. Any advice would be so greatly appreciated…..
If my home was in Miami, it would be worth 40 grand, not here in rural America, home equity loan wouldn’t even dent the medical bills!
you can’t get medicare/medicade as easily as you think. I qualify for NOTHING….State of Tennesse canceled its TennCare program, so hundreds of thousands of us including 93,000 critically ill patients have no health insurance anymore!

Home is not worth that much in this area unfortunately, so second mortgage wouldn’t help at all……
