I plan on having a regular job I just wanted to know how to make extra money. I'm hoping that myself and two of my friends will be renting my parent's house next year while we attend college. I'm working on saving my money until/for then and still having a job while in college. I'm just looking for extra ways that I can scrounge as much money as I can.
What is a way that I can make money to help pay for rent and college?
This question always intrigues me. It's pretty simple, really. No one is going to just give you money for nothing. Therefore, something needs to be sacrificed to get it. Even if you don't have money, there are things that you probably have that can be exchanged for it.
Goods:
You may not be able to get back as much as you spent on it, but if you're willing to find them, there will always be someone who might want it from you. You can sell your possessions on e-bay or craigslist or just an old fashioned garage sale. Car lots will buy your used car. Consignment shops will buy your used clothes. This is probably the fastest way to get money, but it's also the least efficient.
Knowledge:
If you know how to do something that most others don't, you can turn this into a money making venture. Again, you just have to find the people who want your expertise. This could be anything from how to play a musical instrument to financial advice to tutoring.
Labor:
Good old fashioned sweat. If you have NOTHING else, you have this. Granted, since almost everyone can offer this, you won't be paid a premium for it, but you have to start somewhere. You can babysit, wash cars, rake leaves, shovel driveways, or actually get a job.
No one said it was going to be easy. If it was, everyone would be rich.

Reply:4 things you can do:
1. Increase income
2. Reduce expenses
3. Increase Return of Investment (ROI) in your investment
4. Create multiple streams of income
Some ideas to earn extra money:
1. Tutoring students
2. Using skills you have
3. MLM businesses
Personally, I find that an internet business is an easy way to create a passive income because:
1. Requires small to zero capital
2. Gets started right away and easily
3. Allows you to work from home or anywhere in the world as long as there is an internet connection
4. Has unlimited potential to earn money
5. No age or education requirements
6. Doesn't need you to have to have a company
What you need to do is to learn about the internet business as much as possible to discover whether it is for you and what your strategy is. There is free information around.
Good luck.

What happens to money that is paid to employees outside the country?
Does all of it go through the CLS? If so, what about money paid to natives of India? Their currency isn't supported by the CLS.
I need to know this before I can begin writing my term paper about what happens to the GDP of the US when jobs are outsourced.
What happens to money that is paid to employees outside the country?
well it goes to the other countries. but it is not that much. plus the companies get so much more profit that it does not matter.

If you have money sitting in a savings account earning interest, do you have to pay quarterly estimated taxes?
If not, can a person collect interest on their money all year long and just pay taxes on the interest at the beginning of the following year? Does it matter the amount? What if a person has ten million dollars sitting in an account earning interest?
If you have money sitting in a savings account earning interest, do you have to pay quarterly estimated taxes?
If you expect to have a tax liability over $1,000 that is not covered by withholding, then you are supposed to pay estimated taxes.
If you earn enough interest to owe $1,000 in taxes on the interest, you should send in estimated tax payments.
Reply:It depends on how much interest you're getting. If you had $10,000,000 in your account, then yes you should.
At tax time, if you don't have most of your taxes already paid, you can be penalized for under-withholding.
Reply:If your total tax liability is expected to exceed $1,000, you must make quarterly estimated payments.
Reply:no, only at the end of the year it's not road tax.
Reply:If you have enough to leave 10 million in a savings account then you know you need to pay quarterly. If it is just a piddly amount like 1 or 2 thousand, then unless you have a lot of other taxes that need to be paid quarterly, the IRS will probably not go after you if you pay annually. Just be sure to declare the interest and pay.
Reply:no, but you do have to pay income tax on iit-you will get a 1099 form for the irs

Is there a way to get money into my bank account from a different bank?
I am going on a three week trip to Pennsylvania, where my local bank from West Michigan is not present. I will get money when I get there, which needs to go into my account, but there are no Huntington National Bank ATMs or branches out there. Can I use a different bank's ATM with my Huntington ATM card and make a deposit? I know there would probably be charges involved, but I need the money in there for bills! Please help - any other ideas are appreciated as well!
Is there a way to get money into my bank account from a different bank?
Yes, you can use their ATM although they may charge a dollar or two. You can carry travelers checks also. If you need to transfer money you can have your bank wire some money to a new account in the bank where you are going.
Reply:An ATM will probably work fine. I would check with the owning bank to see how the credit would be handled. If all else fails, snail mail will work; just mail a deposit to your favorite bank.
Reply:As long as both banks are on the same ATM network you can get money
Reply:I would think any ATM that will do deposits should be able to. It's like going to a different banks ATM to take out money. You will just get charged by their bank and your bank for the transaction. You would just follow the ATM's instructions on deposting money.
Reply:Do a wire transfer. You usually can't deposit money into an ATM at another bank.
Reply:to be on the sure side and to ease your mind now -- just do a wire transfer from any back in pa!!!
Reply:If the money you get is cash, then u can buy a convenience store money order and send it with a deposit slip to your bank in Michigan. If you get your money in the form of a check , just endorse it and send it with the deposit slip. Both of those are lo cost. If you have a friend with an account in Penn, then you can just give them the check you receive and have him/her wire the amount to your Mich bank. A bit higher cost.
Reply:You can always do a bank wire transfer.

When should I transfer money from my savings account to my checking account?
When I get paid, my employer directly deposits my paycheck into my checking account. I was wondering if it's wise to transfer some of my paycheck money to my savings account. I'm a college student who goes to the ATM every week or two. I don't need money for food since I'm forced into the school meal plan. I know my money will be fine in my checking account, but I'm not sure if I can keep track of my money and make sure I actually SAVE my paycheck rather than squandering it all because I see that there's money I can take out of an ATM. Help?
When should I transfer money from my savings account to my checking account?
Transfer all you do not need into a savings account.
I would suggest an online savings account.
There are a lot of good ones out there offering 5% or better.
Here's a few to look into...
https://www.fnbodirect.com/01d/html/en/ currently paying 6.00%APY
https://www.emigrantdirect.com/EmigrantD... currently paying 5.05%APY
http://www.hsbcdirect.com/1/2/1/offer?co... currently paying 5.05%APY
All of these are safe and FDIC insured up to $100,000.
Transfers usually take 2-3 business days each way.
Reply:i believe the first person that should be paid is yourself so when you receive a paycheck take a set amount and transfer it to savings -- bear in mind you have an unlimited number of monthly transfer into savings but most limit withdrawals to a certain amount before charging fee!!!
Reply:You can specify a certain amount of your pay check goes to checking and some goes to savings.
Check with your employer. They have a form that you can fill out.
Reply:If the money is not needed in your checking account for payment of bills, then I would transfer most of it into your savings account. That way it's earning interest.

How much more money will I receive if I am married in the military?
Hey everyone. I have been dating my girlfriend for three years and I am looking to go into the military. I have been discussing marriage with her because then she can live on base with me. How much money will I receive if I am active military and I am married? Information about anything associated with this topic will be awsome. Thank you everyone.
How much more money will I receive if I am married in the military?
Not that much. The only differences are
1) You qualify for military housing or BAH w/dependents instead of living in barracks. The rate is slightly higher.
2) When deployed or in training for longer than 30 days you get Family Separation of $250.
3) If you stationed OCONUS then the COLA (Cost of Living Allowance) will be higher becuase again you aren't living in barracks and there is more than you. It is based on time in, rate/rank, # of dependents and if you live in barracks or not. For CONUS COLA that is a set amount for your rate/rank and it doesn't matter if you have dependents or not. Most major bases in the CONUS don't qualify for it. It is more for places where there isnt as much base facilities like commissary, exchange, etc....
4) Your Federal Income Tax deductions can drop because you are married and filing jointly.
5) BAS is food allowance and is for the AD member only! It is $294 for enlisted. It doesn't matter if you are married or not. If you are single you are eating in the mess so it is deducted from your pay each month. If you are married then it may not be deducted but it can depend on the branch and where you are. For the Navy the only time it isn't deducted is if you are on Shore duty or the ship's galley isn't operational. Otherwise all but $40 is taken out each month whether you eat there or not.
There is no other extra money or Spouse allowance or anything else for being married. So if you live in military housing in the 48 states and are home every night there is nothing more in your pay but the extra money from taxes.
Reply:In the Air Force, your rank and time in service (basic pay) will not be affected by being married. However, you can receive BAQ (basic allowance for quarters) or base housing (if it is available) when you are married. In addition, you will receive BAS (can't remember what it stands for???) but it is basic allowance to food. Also, in some areas, you might receive a cost of living allowance, but that is usually only given in places where the cost of living is over-inflated. Hope this helps a little, and good luck for the future!
Reply:you get either on post housing free then your food allowance of like 250 per month. If you live off post you get housing allowance based on rank and area. You can look it up on the net.
Reply:Check this out....this should help ;-)

Reply:Hey slow down and take a look at these options.
your pay depends on your rank when you enter active duty. And also if you are married or single at the time of entry.
Are you enlisting with any rank such as PFC, or comming in as an officer, or starting at the bottom as a private or airman depending on which service you join.
All of that plays a factor in what your pay will start out as. below is the site where you can go and see the military pay scale for fical year 08.
Now lets address the housing issue.
Lets say you make it thru all the initial training and your headed to your first duty station. As a married soldier.
depending on where you are station if your lucky to get stateside you can go to base housing to see how long it will take you to acquire government quarters if they have any available. If not you can live off base, and the cost of living is not to high where you are station.
again depending on which branch of the service you join. If you happen to be sent overseas like Germany, Korea, Japan and other areas like that. some branches of the service require you to go for at least 4 years in order to take your family with you. Not all tours overseas allow your family to join you. So keep that in mind, these are questions you have to ask. (dont be afraid to)
So becareful of what you put on your dream sheet (you will learn about the dream sheet in basic)
Also keep in mind the cost living overseas, and stateside, the dollar is not strong overseas, and yes you do get other money from the government like BAS, separate rations, and others along with your regular pay.
Your recruiter will not have all the answers, but at least if you can get the base you want to be station at listed in your contract, they have to honor that. So bargain for what you want.
Good luck to you.
