Global Warming: How Hot Air and Bad Science Will Give YOU Staggeringly Higher Taxes and Prices

Question: What type of bonds should I buy as a student who doesn't want to pay taxes for? Long term investment is a must?

I have $500 in my disposal, but I decided to save up early because of the downturn in the economy. I also don't want to pay taxes because I currently don't have a job. I really appreciate your help.

Answer: I think you might have some trouble understanding. As a young person you should be aggressive in your investments because you have plenty of time to recoup any of your losses. The fact that the market has tanked is even more of an opportunity for you to take advantage of.

However I won't deter you from your investment choice.

With $500 you won't be able to invest in corporate bonds which typically have an initial investment of $1000. The best you can do it invest in treasury bonds. Investing in these vehicles will allow you to be exempt from some taxes but not all.

Also, just so you know, when you're unemployed or have a very low income, there is no purpose for you to invest in tax free investments.

Tax Guru - Part 3

how much will i save after tax deduction?
THANKS KEVIN I AM AN MECHINICAL ENGINEER WITH M.TECH(Product Design and Manufacturing) IA M PLANNING TO SEARCH JOBS IN KANSAS,NEW YORK OR CAN U PLS TELL ME WHICH CITY IS BEST FOR ME OR ANY GOOD WEB SITE TO SEARCH FOR JOB THANKS IN ADVANCE
thanks crystal violet for ur answer can u please guide me on school fees per month as well

Answer: Minneapolis has a great economy, with lots of different industries. The cost of living is much, much lower than New York, LA or Chicago. But there is a lot more to do than in Kansas.

Minneapolis is in Minnesota, the "midwest" of the country, pretty much the center, top. It does get cold, but you get used to it. Plus Downtown has miles of enclosed skyway.

Check out Salary.com and try Minneapolis.

I am a Biology major w 2 years experience, I make about $30,000 a year, my Husband makes about $70,000 a year as a computer programmer. That puts us in the top 10 percent of income.

My husband's brother is going to come here, he doesn't have many job skills or education, we expect he will be able to make at least $20,000. Even "low" jobs like store clerk make a good wage here. Enough to live on.

An apartment in Minneapolis could range from $400 a month to $1000 a month. A house could cost as little as $900 a month.

Food if you eat at home is about $200-300 per person a month.

Many people own a car, Payments range from $150 to $500 a month.

Gasoline for the car adds another $120 a month. If you live downtown you can get a train pass for $80 a month, or a buss pass for most of the city for $50

Entertainment can be:
$0 parks and librarys
$7 per person for a movie
$50-100 per person to see a concert

Our taxes are about 20% of our salary

You should be able to get medical insurance through your job, for a 1 person it might be $50 a month, for a family it could be up to $300.
