Why are we Americans so uneducated / misinformed about personal finance? How can so many be so ignorant about something so important? Do ppl acutally think that that the gov't is going to give them 800 bucks; do they not realize that they have to pay it back on next years income tax? Or at least have that deducted from their refund. How can so many fall for the Payday loan scams? How did so many get into ARM mortgages? Why don't ppl educate themselves about personal finance?

do you think student finance would find out about my first degree? (Mainly a question for UK answerers) I already have a degree in Tourism Management but its not what I really want to do...I got a grant and loan from student finance to fund my students. I loved every minute of Uni but would love to study something which will be more useful to me in the future and give me more security. I am planning on studying Psychology at Goldsmiths its a four year degree course including a foundation course. I am pregnant at the moment and plan to study maybe september 2008 or 2009. I know that they dont provide grants for second first degrees but I was just wonderin if I didnt mention that I already have a degree would they be able to find out?...I have a different address and I did not go through UCAS for the first one either. Advice would be really appreciated...I will be giving up work when the baby arrives and will probably claim benefits until I find another job or course will this make any difference to my situation?

Teen girls (13-19): How many of you are interested in learning about politics/world issues and finance? I'd even maybe go up to age 23 with this. I ask because we are stereotyped to not care about more than boys, fashion, and shopping. That's not the case for me. I mean, don't get me wrong, I like the idea of a boyfriend, accessorizing, and definitely shopping, but that's not my idea of all there is in the world. I like to learn about what's going on in my world. I know there's a bigger world out here than Nordstrom and Saks Fifth Avenue. I like to know about how business and finance are unfolding. I'm more of a politics/gov't girl though. By the way, I'm 17. Oh, and if you're interested in learning and you like hearing about women who are involved in these types of things, I highly recommend BeE magazine to you. It's a women's magazine devoted to politics, lifestyle, and finance. It's a fairly recent addition to magazines.

How do I go about getting a finance check done on myself? I have found some information that has led me to wonder how 'safe' I am from being used in fraudulant activities. Is it possible to check your own background? Or, to employ someone else to do that for you. Is this expensive? And what can be foud out? Do you have to have real evidence that you THINK something is happening, or, can you just be suspicious before a check is done? Thanks in advance. Would a credit check cover everything that may have required my signature? Business loans, etc.

What do you think about this proposal for campaign finance reform: Anyonamous financial contributions only? All contributions must be made to a trustee who then moves the funds into the politicians campaign accounts so that the candidates have no way of knowing who donated or how much they donated. It seems like some people would try to claim they donated when they hadn't, others would not be believed when they said they'd donated. Essentially it seems that it would remove the incentive to try to buy politicians and it would help free politicians from owing favors. Your thoughts?

How would you finance a vacant land purchase with this scenario.? I have a current mortgage of $135,000 on my primary residence. This single family home is valued at $300,000. I want to buy a piece of vacant land for $145,000. I have $40,000 to put down on it, so would need a loan for $105,000. I've been told to go with a home equity loan or HELOC. I've only had experience with fixed rate mortages so a variable rate kind of scares me. Any suggestions? Thank you. Some details, my current mortgage is at 5.3% fixed so I don't really want to touch it. Also, because this is vacant land I've been told that the interest rate will be around 8% for a fix rate loan on a non-residence property. Hope this helps. :)
What is a Yahoo! Finance purchase protection account? I responded to an ad for an automobile for sale, and the seller emailed me that the price of the car is $4,000.00, and she has a Yahoo! Finance purchase protection account for $10,000.00. What exactly does that mean to me as the buyer?
Is there such thing as a Yahoo! Finance Purchase Protection account? I read about a car for sale and the user emailed me back and said that she is affiliated with Yahoo!

She wants to ship the car from the states to here (Canada) and the car seems to be very cheap? has anyone heard of a scam that sounds similar??? Or, if this Yahoo protection plan exists, is it safe and reliable?
Should I finance a used boat purchase with my 0% interest rate credit card or get a loan from a bank at 10%? I am contemplating purchasing a used boat which is over 15 years old. I am looking at the best way to finance this purchase and need some input. The only loan I have is a student loan for $4K and the only credit card I have has a balance of $11K with 0% interest for the next 6 months, and then a 8% rate after that. I have a few other credit cards which send me access checks with 0% fee and interest for one year that I could use to finance the boat. I would use $11K in an access check to finance the boat at 0% interest on a second credit card which would increase my credit card debt to $22K with 0 interest for awhile and then 8% on both eventually. However, I believe I can pay off these cards before any interest kicks in. The second option is to get a boat or personal loan for the $11K and pay about 10% interest. I would intend to pay the loan as quickly as possible as well. My question is, should I finance the boat using $11K of credit card at 0% interest or get a bank loan?

Is there any bodies to directly finance purchase of special type of CDs which will remove mental sicknesses? I am 51, and suffering from Acute Anxiety from childhoold and now Depression. Tried everything possible including spirituality, but without any relief. In US M/s. Centerpointe have developed a special type of CD based on Holosync technology and they claim that these CDs, intended for meditation will remove mental related sicknesses such as Anxiety. But I do not have funds to purchase these costly CDs that too in foreign currency. Is there any charity organization or anybody who may help me. I need only the least required CD (not even the full set of CDs) which may help me in my problems and SPECIFICALLY NO HELP IN FORM OF CASH/MONEY. I expect to receive the details. Thanks.
Is this a way to finance updating a home wanting to purchase? Example: If a home has a listing price of $85k, and comps in the area run $120, and it can appraise for $100k.... Would a lender support you to purchase the home at which above price? Why am I asking? Virtually no pre-owned home has the fully wheelchair accessibility already there. We would need to widen doorways, roll in shower, support bars around bathroom toilet & wash area, open up area under sinks for legs, ramps in/out home, widen kitchen, make washer/dryer/utility room larger and other such items. We need to have some way of being able to 'finance within the purchase' the improvements needed. What is the liklihood that a home (not trashed) would have such a dollar variance to work with? I've thought of finding a home and putting an ad in the paper looking for a professional Real Estate "flipper" with experience, who would have guaranteed buyers w/those changes if he'd do the re-do. Your thoughts & suggestions on this. Thank you for your time! 091307 7:45 By the way - I'm in Texas, Collin County.

Finance Calculation: lease vs purchase? Hi, I'm reading this finance book and as an exercise they have this question about purchasing vs leasing. Somehow I'm confused with the PV concept. Here's the question. You're considering buying an asset that has a three-year life and costs $15,000. As an alternative to buying the asset, you can lease it for $4,000/year (four annual payments, first due on the day you sign the lease). If you can borrow from your bank at 10%, should you buy or lease? The answer is LEASE. The PV of the lease option is $13,947.41 (4000+PV(10%,{4000,4000,4000}) for excel readers). But what I don't understand is the concept behind the PV in this case. The purchase will cost you $15,000, while the lease will cost you at least $16,000 (4*$4,000). How come the answer is LEASE?
I already own my semi but the one next door may be coming up and I want to finance the purchase of that? I want the semi next door as a sort of granny annexe for my parents as they're getting on a bit. There is the possibility of aorund £100K (from their house) to part finance - assuming it goes for £180K - that would be relatively easy to finance but in case that doesn't come off - they may not want to move for a few more years but I'd still like to do it... Tricky I know but worth while if it can be done. Nice one - yes, assume they do want to live next door - in a few years they may not have the option.
Can a finance company require you to purchase gap insurance and extended warranty after a bankruptcy? I recently purchased a car and the finance manager told me that due to a bankruptcy 3 years ago, 'the lender wanted to make sure they were protected, so they wanted me to purchase the extended warranty and gap protection'. I put $2500 down on the car and the gap/warranty were $1950, so my down payment was basically wiped out. Can the finance company legally require this? Now that I think about the conversation he never said the word 'required'... he said it exactly as I worded it above. If it's not required and he just insinuated that it was in order to make money I will feel rather foolish. Can you canel this protection after you've already signed the deal? If so, do they issue you a refund that could then be put toward the principle? Rework the contract? Thanks so much for your help!

How long does auto dealer in Arizona have to secure financing on a "spot delivery" purchase? How long does auto dealer in Arizona have to secure financing on a "spot delivery" purchase? I left dealership on Monday 29 May 06 with a used vehicle. I would like to restructure the contract at a lower price or return vehicle and get my trade-in back. I signed a document stating that after five business days the dealer may request the vehicle back on their request if they are unable to secure financing. So I called and told them to either lower the price of the car to the total I am able to get financed through my bank or give me back my trade. They said "they have as long as the want to find financing". Is this true? What are options here?
