I have been thinking about this issue and I have came to the decision that throwing more money is not the greatest idea.

"Throwing money" ... what an odd choice of words. When you buy groceries, do you call that "throwing money" at your nutritional needs?\n\nFirst, the realization that we can longer get good teachers cheap. Women now have many options other than secretary, nurse, teacher, housewife. Why would "the best and brightest" persue a 4 year degree in a profession that pays so poorly? Teachers should make as least as much as nurses, firefighters. Further, they are professionals deserving of respect, not nannies to shoulder the blame when the children misbehave.\n\nSecond, free them to teach. When teachers are expected to be psychologists, nutritionists, sex educators, social workers, vocational counselors, public health workers, and substitute parents ... when are they supposed to teach reading and math? How is it that school systems have been burdened with so many duties and functions which should be shouldered by parents, child welfare agencies, public health departments, law enforcement, et al.\n\nThird, give them the right of exclusion. It is simply WRONG to allow one or two disruptive students to prevent the other 28 from learning. Why do taxpayers allow their money to be squandered on such nonsense?\n\nForth, realize the education of children is a service, not a business. Get the bean counters out.

since this is in the "mental health" section and one of the 1st\nsteps in suicide is giving away or throwing away things, im a tad\nconcerned. \n\ni think you need address the issue why you want to get rid of your things.

I will if i am really rich. \n\nIf I am really rich, then spend this kind of money is not a big deal. So, why not?

I wish I had more money.

Actually they're both different transactions. It's all part of a negotiation tactic. One usually tries to get the most value up front, so we try to get two cents out of them. When they feel reluctant to put their two cents in, we can take the next step and make a deal they can't refuse: we'll pay them to tell us their thoughts. But notice that it's not two pennies for your thoughts. That would create a negative cash flow. It's all written off as a marketing expense anyway.

my suggestion is to sell personal assets rather than paying off debts with another debt!

I do I do, because some people just dont know when to take the money and give up on their so called "luck"

No way!\nunless you have money to waste...but that could always be spent on better things...like helping people who are less fortunate.

I have found them to be to risky for my investments. These are true gambles

There's no "better" or "worse"; just varying levels of risk.  Put what you can afford to lose in higher risk accounts, because...it IS higher risk, and it's possible (although not likely) that you could lose all of it.

If you have to lie, then it probably is not worth it.  plus whatever it is you lied about to get the money for will make it all loose meaning.  Don't put numeric over morality,

I've done that with what I call 'loose change'.  Sometimes I've got a few dollars sitting around, obviously not going to make a lot of interest and not large enough for something substantial.  If some risky thing has been going down but I still feel it worth holding onto (its kinda fun when you sweat over a $90 stock moving a couple of bucks while a stock selling for less than a dime now goes for a buck or two, and yes, I've had that happen), then making an extra small trade can average down the value of your position.  When the stock starts to tick up for whatever reasons, you now have a lower break-even or profit point.  Again, it is only if you've got a few bucks left not doing anything and at Scottrade for $7 plus a half-point, it doesn't hurt much.  Of course, I also got a couple that are cluttering up my list because it will cost more to sell than they are worth today but that is part of the risk, right?

One more for the Dark Side.  Though sometimes I do skip money.

No one in the business to make money would "admit" to doing it just for the money, especially bands.  If you enjoy a particular bands music, whether they believe in the song or not, would it really change your feeling about the music if you knew they were selling out?  But think about it, why would they "risk" that by admitting to selling out? Taking a job for more money is only a "sell out" to yourself if you take the job for more money but are miserable.  But then again, I guess it could work the same way for bands, right?  Come to think of it, if a band plays popular music that sells, and it is completely opposite of what they enjoy playing and play well, then yea, that would be a "sell out" for them.  Not a sell-out to anyone else if they like it, but it must be miserable for the band.  But, ya know, money (unfortunatly) makes the world go round.  I believe a "true artist" does have an obligation and will stay with that obligation, over and above the ability to make money.  I guess it's probably such "true artists" are the ones that accuse others of selling out.  It may be wrong but if the general public enjoys what they hear and buy it, it doesn't matter if it's known whether or not a band sells out.  I don't think it would make a difference.  Just as someone taking a particular job for more money; in either case they are only selling themselves out!  \n  Hey, you said feel free to ramble on and on....!!!\n  Great question by the way, you could get into an awesome discussion about this particular matter!  Thanks!

The government would loose out on alot of money,With that said now I would like to say that it is a choice.You do not have to do it and if you ar against it then I suggest you don't do it and quit trying to make rules for others.If They choose to do it then it is their life,not yours\n\nNow,Have a nice day

I agree with Mr. Greedy.  You should roll it into an IRA and you'll have better control over it.  If you want to take money out it will be processed sooner and also you'll have more options to invest in.  You can even keep things invested the same when you roll it over.  There is no penalty as long as you don't withdraw any funds.
