Currently my wife and I have a 30 your fixed mortgage rate of 5%. We are both students and wanted the lowest payment at the time. We are getting a nice tax return this year and I was looking into refinancing the place. My question is, should be drop it to a 15 year fixed at 2.875% or a 10 year at 2.75%? If we go with the 15 year rate we keep our mortgage payment just about the same as it is today, because we always put an extra 100.00 a month ontop of mortgage. If we go to a 10 year we will increase or mortgage payment by 100.00. We are in our last year of college and my wife already has a job lined up. Our goal is to pay off our Condo sooner than later so we can use it as a rental property. Give me your thoughts…..
If you’re both students, no job, no income, may not be able to Refi right now
Employers want 2 yr job history
Don’t go with 10 year–you don’t know what future will hold
If a 15 is the same as what you’re now paying, I’d go with it
MORE you put down, shorter repayment period, the LESS interest you pay over life of loan
Those extra $100 principal are a great idea, and have increased your equity
Also consider paying twice a month, instead of once. . . .but don’t pay a fee to do so, and keeping current mortgage
Don’t forget to factor in closing costs

Should I refinance my mortgage?
What tax forms do I fill out and What do I owe?
I’m male 20 years old and live in florida. Lived here all my life and this is the first time I’m filing taxes and would like as much help as I can get. I got a w-2 and a 1099-misc
form w-2 wages and tax statement
wages,tips,other comp. 2856.00
federal income tax withheld 77.00
social security tax withheld 119.95
medicare tax withheld 41.41
form 1099-misc
nonemployee compensation 4138.72
no taxes paid on this at all .
Wondering what forms do I fill out and what I’ll owe and don’t I get a standerd deduction or something so I shouldn’t owe nothing since I didn’t make but 7k or so last year? Thank you for your valuable time!!
Oh I’m filling as non dependent
Independant*
You might owe a little.. go to taxact.com & click on file federal return. It will walk you through the entire process.. you just answer questions. It knows which forms you will need & you can print them before filing. Very simple. Did you support yourself, or did your parents have the right to claim you? (They can if they provided more than half your support in 2012). If they claim you I believe you will have a small tax amount due to the IRS. If you can claim yourself you may not, but it doesn’t look like you are going to have much of a refund. By the way, you legally have to file since you made more than the minimum. You will also have to pay your social security & medicare for the 1099 on a schedule C. Tax act knows this & will take care of it all. No state return since you live in Florida (no state income taxes there). Hope this helps.. it’s really a lot easier than it sounds I promise! Also if you plan to have refund direct deposited make sure you have the bank account in your name & have the routing number and account # handy when you file. Or you can take it all to H & R block & they will do it for you for a small fee. (less than $100)
Any Good House keeping and cooking tips for a new wife to be? please i need advice quick!?
just turned 20 me and my man are planning on getting married soon and then getting an apartment to live in, i have never had a house of my own or had to really take care of the one i live in. other people always do that. im out of work at the moment so i know ill be a house wife for the first few months of even year of our marriage. my man is a hard worker so i know he will come home tired and hungry and even though he loves to cook and he loves to help keep things tidy too, i know hes not always gonna be in the mood to do that! i need help i need some advice on this stuff im totally new to it. i need some good tips and pointers. what should i do to maintain a clean and tidy house hold daily? and how do i learn some good cooking basics? my man likes home cooked meals and im kind of a microwave queen sooo yeah i need some tips on how to cook proper food! thats recognizable and edible lol. thanks im kind of panicking because i wanna make sure i know all these things before we get married!!! and from the way hes talkin hes wanting to get married really soon so i need to know quick! thank you!. =)
The best housekeeping advice is to keep clutter picked up and put away daily. Each day, make your bed and tidy up the bedroom by putting dirty clothes away, hanging clothing up, putting things away, etc. Do the dishes after each meal and wipe down the counters. If you have a dishwasher, keep dishes rinsed and loaded up as you use them. Don’t wait until you have a sinkful.
Straighten up the living room each day. Fluff the pillows on the couch, put shoes, papers, books, etc. away.
Get some Clorox wipes or generic wipes to keep the bathroom sink and counter wiped down. Do it often. Wipe off the toilet seat and brush out the bowl often.
If you keep it done in little steps, you’ll find it easy to keep clean. There’s a website I really like. It’s www.flylady.com She’s got some great ideas.
Keep the cooking simple until you master a few techniques and recipes. Look for simple recipe cookbooks or recipes online. Learn the basics. Don’t try to be a gourmet cook, A La Julia Child, right away. Stick to simple, easy to fix, hearty meals. Learn to "dress up" boxed and prepared foods with a few homemade touches.
You’ll do just fine in your role as new housewife.
