Dad had to take cat to the vet... money problems?? (Dog Section)?
I'm posting this in the dog section because no one answered in the cat section and I'm always in here and I know its active...
so...
My father has this cat thats basically his best friend, well Stinky (the cat lol) got out and was mauled by something. My dad didn't want to shoot him to put him out of his misery and rushed him to the vet instead. I know he's strapped for cash so this is a pretty major thing him taking stinky to the vet...
I'm just wondering what options my dad has in order of paying for the vet bill... I've told him about care credit, but seeing as i doubt he could be approved for it, that may not be an option.
I live too far away and have pets of my own (a horse and dog) to take care of, and I just don't have the extra money I can lend him for his cats care...
What options does he have? Giving him up is not an option either....
A good vet will usually be willing to work out payment plans with you...don't be too proud to ask about it - especially with today's economy, most will understand and work with you.
They also have other contacts they can put him in touch with that assist in veterinary bills...you've gotta ask him for that help as well.
Last case scenario is to go to the local news...it's amazing how a simple news story can generate some donations to cover the expenses - especially in a case where it's not neglect, but misfortune, as is the case with Stinky.
(Why "Stinky"? Why not "Smelly"...at least there's a song for that!!)

"Cam Donaldson demonstrates in straightforward language how central economics is to the future of health care in Canada, the UK and internationally. This is economics with a human - and humane - face. Everyone concerned about health care needs to read this book." Professor Anthony J. Culyer, University of Toronto, Canada, and University of York, UK"Cam Donaldson is an excellent, provocative economics writer who can tell it like it is and engage people in the big issues of the day. Anyone who pays for or manages health services will benefit from this book, including every clinician and every citizen." Sir Muir Gray, NHS Quality, Innovation, Productivity and Prevention programme, UKThe credit cruch is a threat to publicly funded health care, World-leading health economist Cam Donaldson defends our systems on the same basis as those who seek to erode public services, namely, that of economic efficiency. However, protecting government funding of health care is not enough. Donaldson goes on to show how we can get more out of our systems by addressing issues of value for money.The issues addressed in the book have global appeal, and, given its accessible style, will be attractive to general readers as well as health professionals and health policy specialists.
World-leading health economist Cam Donaldson defends NHS-type systems on the same basis as their detractors: economic efficiency. However, protecting government funding of health care is not enough: scarcity has to be managed. Donaldson goes on to show how we can get more out of our systems by addressing issues of value for money. In particular, he demonstrates what has been achieved through health care reform but questions how much more this can deliver relative to getting serious about priority setting.The issues addressed in the book have global relevance and this accessible book will therefore appeal to the public, health professionals and health policy specialists.

Is it legal for an employer to not pay holiday pay and overtime wages?
I am in health care and my new employer (not for long) doesn't compensate if I work through my lunch break, they won't pay OT. If you stay over for some reason or another, they call you at home the next day and say " you can come in 30 min later". Or if you do a double they make youtake the next day off. Which might be good for some people, but sometimes I like to work a little OT around the holidays for Xtra $$! Or some people I work with they depend on OT to help out with the bills! I don't see how this company can get away with this! No wonder the employee turnover is so high!! Plus the insurance and benefits are crap! Sorry just had to vent!
If you are an hourly employee then you must be paid for overtime. It can't be compensated with time off. If you receive a salary you can be compensated with time off. There is no law about paid holidays or vacations. In California you must be given at least a 30 minute lunch break but it is unpaid. There is also a morning and afternoon 15 minute break that is paid.
The only problem is that you can report the employer and he can't file you for that but I guarantee you will be fired for something and never get promoted. I would find another job.

How do you get out of an auto lease w/o damaging your credit?
After about six months I've realized that 1)I don't need the size car I leased and 2) that I didn't lease my last car and wish I hadn't leased this one
How can I get out of it or switch cars w/o messing up my credit. I don't have problems with the payments and can afford it, I just don't want the one I have. Can I swap it for a purchase? The lease is for 36 months, so I'm looking at another 2 1/2 years.
Contact the company you leased from. Most have early termination fees (which can be quite high) but allow you to get out of your lease early.

Screenwriter William Goldman's novel The Princess Bride earned its own loyal audience on the strength of its narrative voice and its gently satirical, hyperbolic spin on swashbuckled adventure that seemed almost purely literary. For all its derring-do and vivid over-the-top characters, the book's joy was dictated as much by the deadpan tone of its narrator and a winking acknowledgement of the cli...

The first decade of the 21st Century has been disastrous for financial institutions, derivatives and risk management. Counterparty credit risk has become the key element of financial risk management, highlighted by the bankruptcy of the investment bank Lehman Brothers and failure of other high profile institutions such as Bear Sterns, AIG, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The sudden realisation of extensive counterparty risks has severely compromised the health of global financial markets. Counterparty risk is now a key problem for all financial institutions. This book explains the emergence of counterparty risk during the recent credit crisis. The quantification of firm-wide credit exposure for trading desks and businesses is discussed alongside risk mitigation methods such as netting and collateral management (margining). Banks and other financial institutions have been recently developing their capabilities for pricing counterparty risk and these elements are considered in detail via a characterisation of credit value adjustment (CVA). The implications of an institution valuing their own default via debt value adjustment (DVA) are also considered at length. Hedging aspects, together with the associated instruments such as credit defaults swaps (CDSs) and contingent CDS (CCDS) are described in full. A key feature of the credit crisis has been the realisation of wrong-way risks illustrated by the failure of monoline insurance companies. Wrong-way counterparty risks are addressed in detail in relation to interest rate, foreign exchange, commodity and, in particular, credit derivative products.

In this book, the authors give an applied approach to relative value techniques, showing readers how to decide on the best place to put their money in order to get the best return.  They cover multiple asset classes – fixed income, commodities and equities although the main focus is fixed income.  They cover products that are rarely documented such as CMS floaters and structured interest and credit products. The initial part of the book will consider the main derivative products and their pricing interrelationships.  It argues that within any asset class there are mathematical relationships that tie together four key building blocks: cash products, forwards / futures, swaps and options.  The nature of these interrelationships means that there may be a variety of different ways in which a particular strategy can be expressed. The second part of the book will be focused primarily on relative value within a fixed income context and will look at strategies that build on the pricing relationships between products as well as those that focus on how to identify the optimal way to express a view on the movement of the yield curve. The third part of the book will take the main themes of relative value and show how they could be applied within other asset classes.
