I had an appraiser appraiser my home $200,000 lower than a real estate agent. I decided to get in a few agents in to see if they had a difference in price.. The agents are all close in price. The agent told me that the appraisers comparables were not comparables and that my home would be considered a luxury home..The comparables from the appraiser were not similar to my home and 1 was not even on a lake..I am on 270 ft lakefront. In order to get comparables you would have to go to a location 6 minutes from here. The appraiser also told me that homes are like cars they depreciate over the years..Ummm I am thinking that is not true.
My company is employee-owned (900 employees). It gives everyone a sense of ownership and helps instill accountability. We all work to support the bottom line and in return, we are rewarded.
I like the respect and support I have in my job. I am really good at what I do and take great pride in my work. The one thing I would change is equal pay for women in the workforce and better family leave.
I received a NetSpend card pre-loaded with $100 from my coworkers; I believe they thought it was a gift card that I could use anywhere like a VISA gift card but it is definitely not like that. When I tried to access the funds, I had to create a bank account through their service. Thank goodness I didn't try to use it! The fees are ENORMOUS and I almost definitely would have been hit with a transaction fee + overdraft fee. Such a scam - especially because they are marketed in grocery stores exactly like pre-paid VISA cards or other giftcards.
Anyway, this is how I avoided being hit with any fees, and still got my $100 (which was pre-loaded on the card). I activated/created the NetSpend account (ugh) then from my PayPal account, I linked the two via "Add a Bank." The NetSpend FAQ states that transfers from PayPal into the NetSpend account are free - but conveniently don't say anything about the opposite direction. Legally, the transactions between "banks" have to work both ways, free of charge. So after "Adding a Bank" on my PayPal account and verifying the small deposits (about 2-3 business days), I requested a bank transfer (using PayPal) from my NetSpend to my PayPal account. Request was completed in about 3 more business days. After the transfer was complete and my NetSpend balance was 0, I then called NetSpend to close my account.
TLDR; Free transfers between NetSpend and PayPal work both ways. Link accounts, transfer $ into PayPal, close NetSpend.
I like that I am able to help others get their jobs done more efficiently. If I could change one thing, it would be to have a more flexible work schedule.
What a good article! Last night, my hubby and I went go the mall in search of jeans. I hate buying jeans for me. They are either too tight, too long, too high or low in the waist, or show off the most unflattering areas. I usually buy one pair of jeans that are cheap and wear them for several years. Well, I end up buying my first $115 pair at Lucky Brand. The sales women there helped me thru about 10 different pair. Never ever would I have considered buying jeans that cost this much. I normally spend $15 on jeans just because they are not comfortable. Now, my purchase is well worth it. I just got dark washed, and yes they have that weird stretchy material and are a "skinny," but, they feel amazing and look good. I think I will try out you "one new pair per year" as they cost so much. You have a great idea! Thanks for the advice!
My favorite part of my job is my colleagues. I've been at my company for 10 years and we have added new people, but everyone I started with is still here. We all work very hard for our clients and we have fun, too.
As a Field Service technician, I "clock-in" via the internet from my home, and then leave to go to my first service call. I have NO COMMUTE.
Things changed dramatically last year.
Previously, I had to fight the morning traffic on the interstate for almost an hour, to get to a "depot" just to start my day. My personal stress level has plummeted!
How do you hold an ex-roommate liable whom you are no longer in touch with and cut out of life and still owes you $250 which he said would pay back and never has? Also, this ex-roommate was never a friend, just someone seen thought of to room with but who turned out very toxic and untrustworthy.
He borrowed $250 back in March/April and there is no documentation, though I want to police involved and hold liable for his consequences.
I get to create art by making pottery on the wheel and through hand building.
I like being able to interact with people and do interesting analysis. I wish I could work from home more often.
My work at the Humane Society saves animal lives.

this question was easy to answer.....quitting time!
I am a librarian, so every day I am surrounded by BOOKS! What's not to love?

I love to be able to stay at home with my kids and see them grow up.
Age of children is not legal. Number of tenants, yes, age isn't.
Couldn't find a answer to my question. I have a can of something that leak and now is stuck to the bottom of my pantry.
I like the flexibility.
I like the flexibility to set my workload how I see fit.
I enjoy my job since it allows me flexibility in hours - I work as a librarian at a private school.

I love that I get to work in the consumers home.
The hours.
I like the flexibility and that our overall goal is improving human health.
I feel very challenged in my job, which is usually a good thing! It definitely keeps the work interesting.
