My real dad gave me 30,000 dollars to help me buy a new car for college. He told me to get a decent car, not overly edacious, but not the bottom trim either.
I hate my stepdad, and its a shame things didn’t work out with my mom and my dad ( I don’t know why, they’re both awesome ppl), my mom even hates me now too, so much that both of us pretty much pretend he doesn’t even live in our home anymore.
it would really piss him off to see me at 18 driving home in like a bmw 3 series, college student, with a brighter future at my age than his is amd ever will be at 40 (no college, no ambition either – works pay check to pay check).
But, the mature side of me is telling me to get a car that meets my needs, and invest the rest of my money in maybe stocks, bonds, mutual funds, options, or futures, since getting a 10 year head start before most investors does wonders for riding out the bear markets and compound interest.
I was looking at the new 2009 Honda fit, it seems to meet the fun to drive, useful, and low cost to own factors for me, but a BMW 335i will make my stepdad green with envy.
hates HIM, now me, lol
ack. I fail at typing. *Not me
First, make sure your real father wont get upset that you pocket the money that is left over. Is he expecting the change back? Be sure to talk to him about what he feels is a decent vehicle for you. He gave you a large amount of money and should be consulted in the best ways to use it. It will make your realtionship better with your father.
No need to TRY and piss off your stepfather, building a close relationship with your father will only piss him off even more, and gets you and your real even father closer. Its a win win.

Specifically ,How Can we correct this so it well not happen again?
This is an open question. Opinions are Ok ,yet I Am looking for Real Solutions .
I entered this Question on Politics Section and received these answers.
1] Mike
Moral decline.
2]RELAX
Don’t let stupid people vote for the one they would most like to have a beer with. My God this administration was so corrupt and secretive we don’t even know the real extent of the damage. Open government is one way we can help to keep it from happen.
3] Evil Independent
Bottom line here in the US is everyone was spending more than they could afford, including our government. It has to stop eventually, but our government is trying more of the same old crap to try to get us out of it. It won’t work.
4] bonsai
It’s very simple. Since Reagan, our world economy, with the USA as main motor is a pyramid scheme.
A – As long as everybody spends, the pyramid scheme works.
B – When the spending stops, the pyramid scheme is exposed as a house of cards.
There is only one solution – to get back to actually be productive, instead of just moving money around.
The bailouts are a feeble attempt to hold of the tumbling of the card house, it won’t work.
What we need is people getting of their fat backs and work for their money, instead of driving to an office every day and sell each other insurances, mutual funds, bigger cars, more houses and useless plastic crap from China.
What we need is modern infrastuctures, green energy solutions, updated technologies, better education, not trying to hold on to the outdated, disfunctional status
5] My thought .
We don’t usually think of history as being shaped by silence, but, as English philosopher Edmund Burke said, ‘The only thing necessary for the triumph [of evil] is for good men to do nothing.’ (this is a commonly known quote and does not need to be cited)

Big trucks and SUVs are expected to out sell cars and hybrids! Just because gas prices have dropped AGAIN!? How dumb can people be? This happens every few years, the oil Co.s Rape Americans at the gas pumps and then we all start screaming for electric cars. Then, as soon as the Big 3 start to make the cars we need to clean up the air and reduce our need for Mid east oil (#1 source of funding for the terrorists who want to kill us) Americans forget the $4.50 per gal. gas and the big three scrap the high millage car production we begged them to start.Then in a year or so we are back up to $4a gal gas, only next time it will be $7-$9 per Gal.! President Obama Promised "I will not forget just because the oil co.s drop prices again, I will push for Green vehicles". When will Americans learn from their history? even if it was just a few months ago?

Did you have to ask? Just watch them whine when the recession ends and the price of oil goes up again — WAH! WAH!

DALY CITY, Calif. — One of the biggest sources of political donations to Hillary Rodham Clinton is a tiny, lime-green bungalow that lies under the flight path from San Francisco International Airport.
It isn't obvious how the Paw family is able to afford such political largess. Records show they own a gift shop and live in a 1,280-square-foot house that they recently refinanced for $270,000. William Paw, the 64-year-old head of the household, is a mail carrier with the U.S. Postal Service who earns about $49,000 a year, according to a union representative. Alice Paw, also 64, is a homemaker. The couple's grown children have jobs ranging from account manager at a software company to "attendance liaison" at a local public high school. One is listed on campaign records as an executive at a mutual fund.
The Paws' political donations closely track donations made by Norman Hsu, a wealthy New York businessman
now what ARE the chances that mr. hsu is ILLEGALLY funneling money to the Paws who in turn are funneling to hitlery? My oh my. What if this was a republicant? Oh the media circus that would ensue!!!!!!!
Six members of the Paw family, each listing the house at 41 Shelbourne Ave. as their residence, have donated a combined $45,000 to the Democratic senator from New York since 2005, for her presidential campaign, her Senate re-election last year and her political action committee. In all, the six Paws have donated a total of $200,000 to Democratic candidates since 2005, election records show.
patriot: dear braindead: of course it doen't rank with tom delay because the media REPORTED DELAY NON STOP FOR MONTHS! NO MENTION OF CLINTON! GET IT HYPOCRITE MORON?!!
This is just the same old Clinton Campaign fund tactics that they practiced in 1992 and 1994. Same story, different day. Must be that right wing conspiracy at work again,

Hi,
I'm working in India at management level in a Large Multinantional Fund Accounting / Fund Administration bank which services Hedge Funds and Mutual Funds across the world.
I want to immigrate to Dublin and it's possible to get a green card if I have job offer with a salary of more than EUR 60000 per annum which I would beeligible for with my experience and background. I'm looking for a HR recruiter who can help me in getting similar jobs. Will forward my personal details and resume once you get in touch with me. My email is nkmumbai90@yahoo.com I'm willing to bear the immigration expenses and also willing to pay the immigration consultant a fee, however I will only pay the consultant after my green card application is successful
Sounds like a fun plan. I have had some success networking and obtaining positions/clients through these websites – Albourne Village – http://Village.albourne.com – HedgeWorld.com and FinAlternatives.com. I also run a hedge fund blog with dozens of articles on hedge fund related jobs if that is one of the types of positions you are considering. Here's a direct link to that section: http://richard-wilson.blogspot.com/2007/10/hedge-fund-jobs.html
Hope that helps!
