Financial talk

I'm a very independent lady, but lately I've been getting called a gold digger 24/7 by friends and co-worker and that's just wrong. Let me explain why....My ex-boyfriend ( a very handsome man but not with a lot of $$$)of four years was a man I really loved but we didn't share the same goals when it came to money. The main thing is that if i ever have kids I want them to attend a private school, live in nice neighborhoods and basically live a good life where they won't be deprived and my ex thinks that material things don't matter as long as their is "love"....but honestly, who lives on just love????? so we broke up....but i still have love for that guy. Anyhow, after a couple months of a break up, i met a rich boy, who goes to Columbia University, is smart, drives a 2007 slk benz, but is really average looking...he proposed after a few months with a huge diamond...I said yes, because I care about him and the sex is great, but I really dont wanna marry him now, i mean maybe i will ch ange my mind in a couple of months..? Is it really wrong to accept a ring if you dont wanna marry the person right now? PS-I'm 24 and bought my apt and 23 by working really hard and came from a poor family. I dont want to relive my child hood memories. Is funny how people can just judge me and call me a gold digger? but never think of the fact that he might just be dating me because of my looks? Honestly I bet you If i was fat I probably wouldnt have a chance with this guy, so it works both way.... also, aren't girls supposed to stick for each other? let me explain, when a guy is dating or marrying a hot girl, he is called lucky for having a trophy wife. On the other hand when a girl is about to marry a rich man, she is called a gold digger? Honestly I think women should be more like men when it comes to frienships.

I am from Aurora, Colorado and I LOVE to sing and I want to learn how to act and dance. Everyone says I am really good at singing. So, this summer I really want to go to a summer camp that can teach me how to act or dance and also enhance my singing skills. I am 14. I am just learning to act and dance so don't give me a camp that has professionals. If at all possible, try to make it as inexpensive as you can because let's just say my family is not that rich. We are more lower-middle class. Please help me find a camp that can help me! P.S. I do not know if my parents will let me do it because they might not want to pay the money so how can I convince them to let me go?

I still havent figured out what I want to do with my life yet, and I'm already signing up for classes for my junior year of college, where I need to start taking classes for my major, but I dunno what to take. I want to do something to help people, and to make a pretty big difference in the world that people can actually see in progress and that many people will be grateful for. I also want to speak many languages and write a book or two, as well as make a lot of money. Any suggestions on what I can do exactly in order to do this, or what to major in? Oh yea, dont tell me im too young, because I'm not and I need to pick a major so I can graduate in 2 years. Then I plan on travelling the world.

my son is out of control his girlfriend is ready to deliver their baby on april 22 I took her out of a bad situation, you see my son is a drug addict he has talked about selling the baby for drugs etc last night he tried choking his girlfriend because he had no money for drugs through things called her names and threatened to shoot her in the head and kill the baby as well, he has a serious drug problem. she put a restrainting order on him 3 months ago and had it dropped and went back to him because he promised to clean his act up but he is on probation for six months and cannot screw up once. I told her she needs to report his behavior to the police and she is to afraid to because he will kill her and the baby. I don't know what to do I tried calling the police but she is the one who has to put charges on him. he does not work because he does not have drugs the only way he saids he can work is if he has drugs. I need some help here and fast. he is out of control big time he does not live with me he is 23 and rehab yes i know but he does not think he has a problem so how do I get him into rehab? that is the question no one wants to help out especially the police until they see a dead body I guess

I want to start saving for a down payment for a house. I want to start investing in a retirement plan. I have no savings at all. I currently make about 3K each month after taxes (I work at a firm that pays less than competitive wages with no benefits, but I get great experience - I probably will change jobs next year for higher pay). Rent is 800/month (I live in LA). I have excellent credit (score is 770), but I owe 55K in federal consolidated student loans. I also owe my mom 130K (I pay the home equity line directly) that was used to pay off my private student loans. I don't have any significant credit card debt. My mom, understandably, would like me to pay off her home equity loan first. While I do want to, the sheer amount is discouraging. I pay about 600/month in interest alone. Ideas? I want a plan with milestones. I kinda wanted to be able to buy a small house in the next 5 years. My debt is so overwhelming that I almost disregard it as being permanent and unchangeable. My mom used her home equity line to pay off my private student loans. She can deduct the interest on her taxes, and I can take advantage of the lower fixed interest rates. When I can, I have made extra payments towards the principal. Moving home is not an option, as I live about 8 hours away since jobs are more scarce there. I expect that next year, if I changed jobs, I could probably make about 70-80K/year (which is the competitive wage for my position).

We recently recieved an unexpected suprise of a litter of bunnies. We bought a rabbit from a pet store and was told it was a boy. Well, one month later our "boy" gave birth to 5 little baby bunnies. I've heard this happens often at pet stores. Live and learn I suppose. The bunnies are only 5 days old right now. The pet store said the only buck rabbit she was in a cage with was a loppy eared rabbit. Our doe is a lionheaded rabbit. So now we need to find at least 4 good homes for some lionlop bunnies. We were told we could sell the little cuties for some money. (although I think the pet store should buy them since they sold us a pregnant rabbit in the belief that it was a buck) How much do these bunnies go for?
