I have a tiled basement bath with the closet flange sitting on top of the tile. When I set the toilet and tighten the toilet bolts part way the seal is OK. If I tighten the bolts and draw the...

The best way to buy a car is with CASH! If you don't have it, don't buy it! Getting a car loan and putting 0 down is dumb and at 19 it's dumb and stupid.

I'd be selling those cars and cutting up those cards is way over due.

Me too, I actually think it's VERY alarming. Over the last 28 years big companies have slowly gotten rid of the pension plan and left it up to the employee to basically save for their own...

If you already have bad credit why would you want to risk making it worse?

The only way you will ever get out of debt is to spend less than you make. Make a budget, then go through and cut out everything you don't need. There is no magical formula.

Have her look in the phone book for a "fee based" financial planner. They will give her an unbiased opinion.
