how could i determine my grandfather's net worth?
my grandfather is a multimillionaire. he's in the oil business and has made many ridiculously wise investments (developed large lot of santa fe before its boom in the 80's). he's sort of an "old money" type (he's not ostentatious at all) and a reverse snob; he's very frugal, does NOT talk about money (and is very prudent about talking about anything he's associated with that would indicated wealth or snobbery, ie, he's acquainted with high-profile businessmen and politicians but avoids the subject), and generally everything that someone who's nouveau riche is not. This is why I don't know how much his estate is worth because he lives way below his means. his kids (and this grandchildren) don't even know how mcuh he makes (i think its because he doesnt want feel like they dont need to work). how do i figure out how much hes worth (hes not rich enough to be in forbes). somewhere between 1 million and 50 million (a stretch, but he IS in oil). also-he's 82 and still works (for fun).

Why would you need to know this? What difference does it make to you? If you're trying to calculate how much of it you'll end up with, be careful - you don't know who he might leave it to. It doesn't necessarily get split evenly among children or grandchildren - he could leave it all to charity if he wants to.
2 :
It is not your business to know. He obviously does not want you to.
3 :
You already know a lot about his finances, if he wanted you to know more, he would tell you. Don't start counting your inheritance, he could dissolve his holdings and sell off his property before he dies, or give it away, or donate it where he likes. It's more important to enjoy your time with him, and be a loving grandchild.
4 :
Leave the old dudes finances alone and enjoy some fun time with him while he is alive. Take him to see a penguin movie, or a pony ride. Ask him what he likes, ask him to tell you everything that he thinks matters. Learn from him and you will both be richer for it.
5 :
You can't determine his net worth without his complete cooperation. Sounds like you're not going to get it. Your grandfather sounds like a smart and wise man. Too bad his granddaughter is greedy and lazy.
6 :
You could ask him and if he thinks you have a need to know he will answer otherwise he will cut you out of his will as a money grubbing grandchild. Better to ask him how he made his money and learn all you can from him about working and investing before you lose the opportunity. Call him, talk with him, visit him and show a real interest in him and in his life.
7 :
1) Find his properties 2) Find his cars 3) Find his companies (Usually it's just one) 4) Find his portfolio It's going to cost you a lot of money to find all that information. It's not worth it. Just go to Harvard and make your own millions.

What is your reaction to this story Illegal immigrants finding it hard to get work & may leave US?
What is your reaction to this story Illegal immigrants finding it hard to get work & may leave US?
For the first time since he arrived in the United States 27 years ago, Isidro Alvarado, a day laborer in Vista, says he's thinking about going home to Mexico. Alvarado said he is finding it increasingly hard to get work here. He's not alone. A recent study by the Pew Hispanic Center, a research organization, reported that Latino immigrants ---- legal and illegal ---- have been hit hard by the nation's struggling economy, and some are returning home. That's playing out locally. Officials with two North County day labor centers run by nonprofit agencies said they have seen a steady decline in the number of employers looking for workers. Work is one of the main reasons why illegal immigrants such as Alvarado come to this country. Alvarado said he resorted to standing at the corner of South Santa Fe and Escondido avenues in Vista three months ago, when he lost his job at a construction company. He gets odd jobs from homeowners and small contractors moving furniture, landscaping and painting, he said. "This year, it got ugly," Alvarado, 32, said. "Many people are out of work and don't even have money for presents. It doesn't even feel like Christmas." Over the last week, he said, he has worked only one day and is struggling to make ends meet. At about 10 a.m. Tuesday, no employer had stopped to offer work to the more than 50 men standing on the sidewalk, many of whom were illegal immigrants from Mexico and Central America. Gordon Hanson, an economist at UC San Diego who specializes in immigration issues, said the jury is still out as to whether immigrants are leaving the U.S. because of the economy. He said much of the data that is available was culled before the economic crisis deepened late this year. But there are early indications they are leaving, Hanson said. "This is an expensive place to live, and some of the hardest hit areas in the economy are construction, hospitality and retail," industries that rely heavily on immigrant labor, Hanson said. In North County, Interfaith Community Services officials said fewer and fewer employers have come to them looking for workers in recent years. For example, there were 248 employers in October 2005, 137 in October 2006, 78 in October 2007 and 82 in October 2008. Officials noted that October 2007 was an unusual month because of the wildfires, when the office was closed for a few days.http://www.nctimes.com/articles/2008/12/20/news/sandiego/z1d2703d8b7baaa4488257521006b3238.txt I ask WHO CARES???!!!!

False Advertising on Used Car... Law Advice?
False Advertising on Used Car... Law Advice?
I purchased a 2004 Santa Fe from a used car lot. When I bought it, I believed it was an LX trim, with a 3.5 liter engine... as per the online ad on their website and on auto trader. However, I found out after purchasing it that it is the GLS Trim model, with a 2.7 liter engine. On kelly blue book the difference in value between the vehicles is: the GLS model is worth roughly 10% less than the model I thought I was purchasing. Now, the bill of sale does not list a trim. Just the make and model. However, I have a print out of both adverts, both with a picture of the car I bought, stating the 'false' specs. Is this enough to prove false advertising? I would ask for my money back, but I spent $75 registering the vehicle and $275 buying tires for it. I would need to be reimbursed for those costs should he offer a return. Otherwise I want roughly 10% rebate on the price a paid for the vehicle. Is this an acceptable demand? What would you do?

Take this question to your attorney. If you were induced to enter into a contract by a deceptive trade practice, you may be entitled to damages equalling three times your actual loss. Consult an attorney immediately. If you do not have an attorney, contact the local lawyer referral service or the one at your state's bar association website.

They would seem to be in breach of a warranty under the Uniform Commercial Code. If that's the case, your legal remedy would be more or less what you're asking for (i.e. the difference between the price of the LX Trim you contracted for and the GLS Trim you got). In order for this section to apply, you'd have to show that the description they gave you in the advertisement formed the basis of the contract. You might also need to show that you still had a reasonable belief that you were looking at an LX Trim when you inspected the vehicle. This would mean showing not only that you honestly believed it was an LX Trim, but also that a reasonably diligent inspection wouldn't have made the difference obvious. This is because you need to show that their description in the ad or affirmation that the car was a certain model formed part of the basis of the bargain. Obviously, a lot depends on the exact facts of your negotiations etc. You should definitely seek professional legal advice before you take any legal action.

It's simple. If the car was misrepresented then you have a very strong case and the dealer who sold it to you deserves everything they have coming to them!

Need advice on what to do?
Need advice on what to do?
I have a 03 Hyundai Santa Fe. Basic model. The situation is such that it needs A LOT of repairs since I was basically stupid and never bothered to take my vehicle in for regular check-ups and servicing. I now sit at almost 99,000 miles on it. Among the many things the main ones from what I understand are a new serpantine belt, new battery, brakes maybe transmission and catalytic converter. I had taken my vehicle to the dealership where I bought it and was quoted around $5000.00 for everything that needed to be done. Obviously I walked out and did not do anything. Now for the maybe 4th or 5th time in the past three years my car has just died while driving on the road. I borrowed jumpers and attempted to jump to make it back home but no luck. Which sort of tells me that it could very well be the converter issue again. So the advice or wisdom I need from anyone who can help is that tomorrow I can pay $1500 to have the mechanic I know just work on the s belt and cat converter issues. Does this seem like a fair reasonable price to you? I tried to look at parts online and I can get them but am not sure if I would be getting the right parts. Is this something I can find in my manual perhaps? Would the mech be willing to tell me what exact parts I need and I can get them from a store. Which route should I take? I would appreciate all knowledge on this matter. It would be of good help to me because I am debating if putting any money into this vehicle now at this stage is worth it. Thank you. There is no explanation for why I never got it properly serviced like I was supposed to. In all respects everything that is happening now is something I deserve to go through since I never really took care of it. I can give a multitude of reasons but in the end they would be all bull sh* Just need solid advice on what I should do.

take it to an after market exhaust shop and get the converter changed should be no more than 200 with labor then get alt checked to se if it is charging the battery go to advance auto and maybe with a little luck they will replace the belt for you the belt should be around 38.00 the reason i told you to have the alternator checked is it may not be the battery but the alt. not charging you should be able to fix most of your problems for a lot less than 1500.00 but don't pay that much just for a converter and a belt you are getting ripped off!!

Lionel Messi est né en Argentine, dans la province de Santa Fé. Dès son plus jeune âge, il a commencé à taper dans le ballon, et quand il a eu tout juste 5 ans, il a été admis dans le centre de formation dans le club où son père était entraîneur, Grandoli. Devinant que son fils n'aurait pas un grand avenir à Grandoli son père l'a pris dans une académie de jeunes "séniors" quand il a eu seulement 8 ans. 3 ans plus tard, Messi a commencé à faire ses preuves et a été considéré comme un joueur d'un immense talent, mais malheureusement, on lui a prescrit des hormones de croissaance, qui devaient le faire grandir, mais qui coûtaient près de 700$ par mois, mais la famille Messi n'était pas assez riche pour cela. Heureusement pour le jeune jouer, le FC Barcelone, qui l'avait déjà recruté, a eu connaissance du problème et a décidé de l'aider et a remis la vie de L. Messi sur la bonne voie. Messi a rapidement signé avec l'équipe junior de Barcelone et est parti suivre son traitement en Espagne. Tout en guérissant de ses problèmes de croissance, Messi a commencé à jouer régulièrement pour le FC Barcelone, où il a réussi l'exploit de marquer 35 buts en 30 matchs. Il en a fait partie de la "Grande Equipe" de 2005, où il a marqué son premier but officiel contre Albacete, il avait seulement 17 ans. Messi est devenu la plus grand star de Barcelone pendant la saison 2006-2007 où il a battu de peu Chelsea en ligue des Champions. De nos jours, Messi est reconnu comme le plus grand joueur du monde, et il est dans la course avec ses copains Xavi et Inesta pour gagner le ballon d'or de la FIFA, ce qui ferait de lui le meilleur joueur de 2010. On appelle Messi "l'alien" car les gens sont surpris de sont talent et il pensent que ce qu'il fait avec un ballon n'est pas de ce monde.

C'est mon idole du football, j'essaie de jouer comme lui à chaque match. De plus messi = bessi, ce n'est pas une coïncidence. http://www.chronofoot.com/lionel-messi/biographie-de-lionel-messi_mrm70880.html http://www.messi-lionel.net/biographie.html http://foot.fluctuat.net/lionel-messi.html

Beg borrow or steal to get hours and ratings. A degree from Embry Riddle is not a necessity as much as flight experience, ratings, and a college education. So get your private - make friends at the airport any chance you get to fly in your own plane or a friends or a rental - do it and build hours. If someone is having their plane painting and he needs to drop it off and you can fly and pick him up (and he will pay for your expenses - NOT your time) DO IT. If a flight school needs an airplane moved and you can help them - DO IT. Get the hours and experience. Then work on your instrument and commercial. If you can get any multi experience from flying with someone - DO IT. Offer to wash or wax his airplane or whatever to help you build the time. Then go on to fly cargo and on to the airlines. If you have a college education, no incidents, no accidents, NO DUIs, and experience you can get hired by the airlines.

If you are in Santa Fe NM, look into the Mesa Pilot Development Training program offered in Farmington NM at San Juan College. It's a 2 year degree and it's as close to home as you can get. If you're looking for a 4 year degree Mesa also has a partnership with Arizona State down in Phoenix as well as the Phoenix East school as you previously mentioned. Do a bit of searching on-line and you'll find there are quite a few more economical flight schools that can offer you an aviation degree - and you won't be quite so far into debt in the end as going to Embry Riddle.

Actual Signs. Worth a star?
Actual Signs. Worth a star?
A sign seen on a restroom dryer at O'Hare Field in Chicago: Do not activate with wet hands. At a car dealership: The best way to get back on your feet? Miss a car payment. At A Laundry Shop: How about we refund your money, send you a new one at no charge, close the store and have the manager shot. Would that be satisfactory? At a Music Store: Out to lunch. Bach at 12:30. Offenbach sooner. At a number of US military bases: Restricted to unauthorized personnel. At a pizza shop: 7 days without pizza makes one weak. At a Santa Fe gas station: We will sell gasoline to anyone in a glass container. At a tire shop in Milwaukee: Invite us to your next blowout. At a Towing Company: We don't charge an arm and a leg. We want tows. At a Used Car Lot: Second Hand cars in first crash condition. At an Auto Body Shop: May we have the next dents? At an optometrist's office: If you don't see what you're looking for, you've come to the right place. At the electric company: We would be delighted if you send in your bill. However, if you don't, you will be. At the entrance of the large machinery plant: Warning to young ladies: If you wear loose clothes, beware of the machinery. If you wear tight clothes, beware of the machinist. Billboard on the side of the road: Keep your eyes on the road and stop reading these signs. Car Lot: The best way to get on your feet....Miss a car payment. Church sign: To remove worry wrinkles, get your faith lifted. Door of a plastic surgeon’s office: Hello. May we pick your nose? English Sign in German Cafe: Mothers, Please Wash Your Hands Before Eating. Gym: Merry Fitness and a Happy New Rear! These are actually real! If you liked these check out my other jokes today! Thanks!
