Investing

Hope I can spawn some answers from some "Finance Savy" individuals. My question is, where would be a good place to invest around 1 or 2 hundred a week out of my paycheck and see some quick growth?

coslenchip Great Question. Default answer: "That Depends." I'm going to give you two posts on this. The first is going to be on what questions you should ask youself about your investing: How long are you investing the money for? How much involvement do you want...

coslenchip It sounds to me that you and your husband disagree on how much your child should value money. You are of the opinion that money is practically irrelevant, i.e. it should not be sought after. Your husband seems to be closer to the idea that money should be...

President Bush

bobmnu @bobmnu (8157) • United States 23 Feb 07

Why do some people hate President Bush on a personal level? You hear people like Bill Marr calling him extreamly insulting names. You have the press running every negative story on him including the ones that are not true. He...

coslenchip He is criticized for a lot of reasons. One of the big ones is that he hasn't followed the republican line. He has made stupide decisions that he thinks will make people like him. I can understand whay people would never want another republican in office after...

coslenchip As for impeaching Bush, impeachment is reserved specifically for "treason, bribery, and other high crimes and misdemeanors." As such, he can only be impeached if something he did was treasonous. Since I am assuming you are refering to his actions regarding...

Has anyone had a home business before? Is it expensive to start?

dubd012 @dubd012 (9) • United States 10 Feb 07

Has anyone had a home business before and is it expensive to start? Because im still looking for ways to make a little extra.

coslenchip Depending on what you mean, I am involved with a couple home based businesses. One that I am heavily involved in right now is a great business that deals with personal finances. The company has the goal of leading the consumer empowerment revolution. Also, if...

coslenchip I used to not think about it much at all. At election time, I would look at what was published on the different candidates, think about what my stance was on each issue and vote for the one that was closest. The rest of the time, it was out of mind. At that...

coslenchip Yes, definitly. Communism is the ideal society. Money is the root of all evil. So, if we can eliminate money, then we can eliminate all evil. There are Trillions of dollars in the US and only millions of people, so everyone could be a millionaire. I would love...

flagbabygirl @flagbabygirl (891) • United States 13 Feb 07

In New York Trans fats have been banned making it impossible for Mc donalds to make their famous french fries the same way they have for many many years! Smoking has been banned in entire states even outside! They are trying...

coslenchip YEAH! Welcome to the libertarian party. We're glad you have found your way to common sense. OK, that might have been a bit overboard, but really, you should check the libertarian party out. The only way a third party (other than the Republicans and...

Black President

hotsauz8 @hotsauz8 (97) • United States 11 Feb 07

I realize this is a controversial topic for many, but what are your thoughts and opinions on how ready the nation is for a black president? Aside from that, how ready would we be for a black democratic president?

2 responses

coslenchip Black, white, what's the difference. I care a lot more about a politician's record and intentions than his skin color. I am sure there are some who sould disagree, but those people are now few and far between. So, what is the percentage of Americans that are...

coslenchip Since when can Hilary run her house? It sure didn't seem like it when her husband was in office. Personally, I think a woman president would be great. But, I do not think that Hilary Clinton would be great. I would actually love to see a Republican woman...

How reliable are you?

TDonald @TDonald (1421) • United States 29 Nov 06

If you had the chance to be coached (mentored) for free, to learn how to earn more money, are you reliable enough to follow instructions and do the tasks they assign to you? Would you be more reliable if you had to pay them?

4 responses

coslenchip It depends. (Obviously). If I really am looking for another way to make money, as I was a little over a year ago, and the mentor was mentoring me in something that I did indeed want to learn (as was noted in your previous comment), then yes. I would...
