Anyone has extensive knowledge if the unclaimed property process?
The state websites have a lot of info for US citizens, but close to nothing for foreign citizens.
A relative of mine has over 6000 USD unclaimed in California, but she is an EU citizen. Any idea on how to enforce the claim?
>>1115364
The process is virtually identical. Have her contact the treasury and they'll walk her through it. Does require a bit more documentation.
>>1115431
Okay I did not mention that none of the involved parties are located in the US (including me), so even contacting the treasury is not that easy.
According to California state website, they don't wire money, only use cheques which is also a totally foreign concept here in our country, not even sure if I can cash those in.
What kind of account is it? Or is it a cancel check or what?
Have the funds been taxed?
Is it too late to make a career change? I've always heard and been told that once you go general labor, it's impossible to get into anything else.
I'm 22 and have been working general labor since I turned 18. I work at a food plant and make $18/hour, taking home around $3K a month after overtime. I hate my life though. I work 7 days a week and always feel tired. I just want to get a cozy cubicle job making the same but working less. What should I do?
what is your job at the food plant, how much do you have saved up, what are your expenses, cost of living for your area? what other industries in your area?

>I've always heard and been told that once you go general labor, it's impossible to get into anything else.
Heard from who? Guys in their 40s-50s who got stuck in deadend jobs because they were too dumb to do anything else?
Apply for some office assistant jobs or some shit. Once you get in the game you can start working your way up. You probably won't be any happier though.
>>1115264
no its not too late. I started studying software dev at 26 and now im working in the industry not even 2 years later.
So, anyone else losing sales and rank on Ebay for no apparent reason? Anybody have information on what Ebay changed?
Interested as well.
>>1115097
More than likely, it's your turn to be subjected to eBay's rolling blackouts.

Can you elaborate? Any more information you can give.

Lets all move to hungary. You can get houses there nice ones for €30,000

OP it's Phoenix and the state is Arizona. You have no need to buy a house in this market unless you're 100% sure that you're either
a) going to live there the rest of your life or
b) viewing real estate as an investment
>>1113755
i think its because real estate agents fuck up house prices.
a house sells for 200k so the realtor selling a house down the street list it for 210k for comparison pricing. That house sells now another real estate agent down the street list another house for 220k and it sells.. this cycle goes on and on. just because they are real estate agents doesn't mean they know much about the economy but yet we give them the power to price houses.
I feel as if another bubble is near. Baby boomers want to retire and...

America is overated. I went there for a holiday, everyone there is pathetic and it's a shithole. Your money will go much further in Asia anyway.

Sorry we don't cater to brony buttplug wearers seeking traps to have foot fetish sex while fantasizing about their mothers and unicorns.
Glad you went back to where ever you're from so that your nation's gene pool will further your DNA only if they work a deal with the local peep show's jizz mopper.

One of the best insults I've heard on 4chan.
Hello,
I am looking for a program that allows me to engage in stock trades independently. Something that day traders use. If you don't know, that's fine, please move along. If you do know please impart me with your wisdom.
Thank you

Is it possible to have disruptive innovation in the Christensen sense without pursuing a blue ocean strategy?
I'm trying to find examples but the only successful examples of either also include the other
Disruptive is by definition blue ocean

I would agree except

What the fuck are you even asking?
How do I chase leads who are not responding to my follow up/quotation messages?
Just keep calling them every week until they ask you not to (or buy)
continue producing quality content they'd be interested in rather than chasing a sale?
>>1116286
We hardly have any online presence, and most of our leads are generated offline (eg. cold calling, visiting local businesses, meeting up with business owners, etc.). We sell art, so it's not exactly a quick and easy buy.
How do you get by with biweekly pay?
Budgeting.
I take home 1400 per biweekly check after taxes, insurance and 401k.
25% of first check into savings account
25% of first check to debt ( damn student loans)
50% into "living expense"
Second check
46% to Rent. ( due at the 5th of the month so i budget it out of the second check if the month before)
4% to internet bill
10% to utilities.
25%to savings
25% to living expenses. ( gas, food , dates)
Quite nicely. 42k gross. Just a house note and the usual bills.
I make a lot of money so I spend it how I like.
What's /biz/ opinion of online degrees?
They are not looked as the same as traditional schools. If you have access to an OK state school, go there instead.
Real life degrees are mostly a waste now.
What does that tell you about online ones....?
If me an some state school anon apply for a job do you guys really think they'd feel differently even if the degrees were other wise identical

I work in a chemist in Australia, where I spend a lot of time with Chinese tourists who barely speak english. Basically, they come in and buy as much stock as possible of a few select items which are currently trending in whatever uppermiddleclass-china part they come from, and sell them on. Apparently, this stuff (baby formula, vitamins, cosmetic creams) is only available from chinese brands over there, which people don't trust because of scare-stories about lead in baby formula and shit.
These people spend hundreds of dollars at my store alone, and because we...

staff discount contracts won't allow you to and you'll be busted for it ( losing your job etc )
what'd be better is to find a distributor for your product and then open your own store, which you can port to china (online site or etc )
keep your job and save up a bit, get some shit shipped to you and sell it online to chinese. when chinese customers come in slip them a business card ( without your boss knowing because that could be against contract aswel )
put chink language on it for added customers, but first either learn chinese or get...

but WHY is it only available from chinese brands?
I know they only allow a limited amount of hollywood or western films to be shown at the chinese box office, so as to protect their domestic film market. I dare say they are doing the same with the industries producing these commodities. It's worth looking into, but my bet is you'll run into import problems when trying to get these things into china, these tourists are probably able to get a suitcase of shit in, but good luck with pallets of the crap.
>>1114919
Basically, they're buying foreign shit because their government has deregulated everything to the point where they've been adulterating things with harmful shit.
Your best option would be to bulk-buy from cash and carry stores, and sell it to them at the ports.
Alternatively, organise boat trips for them to sell it on-board duty free.
Or you arrange things with someone in china to import it by the container-load.
Does anyone here use it? Is it any good?

i know this board is full of idiots but how does this sound: im only 19 but what if i put a large amount of my income into mutual funds and just keep doing that over time? i know nothing plz help me
Max your Roth IRA contribs first. They're mutual funds that you don't have to pay taxes on the earnings. If you just put after tax money into a mutual fund, you'd have to pay on the gains.
You get 55k per year.
>>1114499
55? Sorry, I must be stoned like that chink in your pic. 5.5k, or 5500.
>>1114503
... 5.5k and 5500 are the same thing.
