I use an accountant for tax preparation, which costs around $300 to $500 a year, depending if I have him file quarterly taxes or not. A bookkeeper is different. Ummm, isn't there some software you can use? In any case, a bookkeeper should be a lot cheaper. As to contracts, go to a bookstore first, or the Internet. There's lots of great boilerplate contracts out there. I don't know about you, but a contract doesn't really guarantee anything--do you have the money to go after someone that violates a contract? Anyways, a lawyer, for an initial visit, is around $150-$250. If you need a specific contract and can't find a boilerplate one, see if you can find a para-legal or somebody cheaper to draw one up. Lastly, here in the US every town/city has a Chamber Of Commerce. Not only do they have good resources, but members give other members discounts and sometimes free services. Check 'em out, if you have something similar in Canada. That's my 2c. Marc Latest AAL Article My blog Join my forum!

My mistake, then. I thought that since you were referring to tables and transaction processing, you were likely using either SQL Server or Access on the backend and were possibly accessing the database through an ADO connection in an ASP page. Sorry about my confusion.

I can't afford to get downwind of the Dunfield. At least, that's the impression I got. I used to work just right next door. Isn't it expensive?

I found out. :( If the mortgage is at $100,000 and there are 2 years left, I'm charged something to do with the amount of money that the bank would have made had it loaned the $100,000 for 2 years back then. Since the 2-year rate back then was 6.25% and the 2-yr rate now is 5.0% (there's a huge gap), I'm buggered. Not sure of the exact calculation. J "I am the Lorax. I speak for the trees."

Just that we won't be a fully functional family until we stop hemmoraging financially and get our own place again. I'm 34 had a house at 22, paid 10% of the debt in the first 12 months and since then have lost the house, have no assets and now take home less per fortnight than I did per week just a couple of years ago. Also have $10k in debt that is unsecured. I'm not the same person I was due to the situation and my wife just can't see that her constant spending of our money is a problem. I just need to get a real job again. But when I was on the big money and living with the in-laws the big money we were saving wasn't used to pay off debt. It was fed into pokies. She has a problem with stress and gambling but won't admit it. I'm trying to help her through this.
