<div><em><strong>Lk</strong> asked: </em></p>
<p>Its been one and a half year I had been employed as an Account assistant in a partnership firm. I am happy and satisfied with my job routine, atmosphere is good and pay scale is also good. Only I am less disappointed is there is no future benefits i.e. I only draw a basic salary. I had heard about job paper work done at home, after all it is a part time job. Can anyone tell me if working in part time jobs will I get future benefits?</p>

<div><em><strong>ƱJanoƱ loves the ƱColtsƱ</strong> asked: </em></p>
<p>I am, or was invested in Merrill Lynch, they sold out to Bank of America, and I am hearing today, that other large firms are in dire straits. Lehmans was denied a bail out, and AIG is in trouble, along with Washington Mutual. Where there were 5 large Mortgage/Financial firms on Wall Street before, we are now down to 2.  Are we heading to one World Bank?  What does all this mean to our future? Are you invested in any of these and what is your take on all of this?</p>
