I’m a confused Finance/Mandarin student with a whole lot of options it seems. Doing something unique, (like peace corp), seems to be a better boost for doing some sort of work with the Chinese economy, as opposed to going directly to work for any of the major banks. Any suggestions on how a Chicago kid can speak Mandarin and make it back to China?

I am still paying on the card to pay it off. The account was closed almost 2 months ago and I am being charged almost a $30 finance charge every month. How can I get ahead like that? I haven’t even charged on the card in the last 2 years. It doesn’t seem fair that they are charging a finance charge.

Bought a ford truck from local dealership and after all papers were signed and finalized my finance company wants me to turn the truck back in because they changed their mind and will not approve the loan. So can a finance company change their mind after paper work as been finalized and completed?

I’m reading Robert Kiyosaki’s book Rich Dad Poor Dad and he often emphasizes the importance of fiancial education as a stepping stone to achieving financial independence.

Is self-educating oneself outside of school by reading up about investing sufficient to have a chance at investing successfully? Or does one have to get a university education in finance and work in the field of finance to be a successful investor?

I have a high interest rate loan on a truck, I am paying the payments on time and I am thinking about getting something else with a better interest rate. But I found out that car dealerships and finance companies have participation splits when they sell a car and complete the financing. I wanted to know what that means and am I paying for it. My rate is 24.9% I know that is high but my wife and I had not choice due to a loss in job. We are ok with it but really need to make a change now. Any advice would help. We have stable income and credit scores between 540 and 587, all of our credit cards and car payments and other bills have been on time for the past 12 months. We have some old judgments that maybe total $3500.00; one is a medical bill and the other a membership we never used at a discount supply place. Thank you for your answers in advance.

Planning to put hardwood floor in house but need to know if you can finance it. If you can, what are some of the places that do that? HomeDepot? Lowes? Lumberliquidators?
