Budgeting - How Making Simple Plans and Sticking to Them can Save You

One of the keys to saving for retirement or for any large expenditure in your life is to budget your everyday expenses. Budgets don’t work, of course, if you don’t stick to them, so creating a budget is only one part of the process. You have to stick with your budget if you want to save any money for a rainy day. The process of budgeting is both straightforward and complicated. Many people start with an amount of money they would like to save by a certain time. Maybe you want to go on vacation next year, and you need a few grand to make that happen. If you have a decent job, you should be able to get to your goal with smart budgeting. Make a simple chart of expenses you know you will have over your given time frame—expenses such as rent, loan payments, electrical bills, etc. You won’t know all the details of every expense so you’ll have to estimate at times. Calculate the amount of income you expect to make over the same time frame and see what the difference is. If you can, plan for larger expenses that you can’t foresee, such as medical or dental bills. Once you have a balance sheet for your time frame, you can plan on putting away a certain amount of money every month, week, or pay period.

Gary Kapanowski advises people on their financial needs as a professional accountant in Michigan. He encourages anyone who will listen to budget as far into the future as they can, so they are always prepared for emergencies and for their next big vacation.

A Few Financial Tips to Get You Ready for Retirement

It’s never too early or too late to plan for retirement. Even those on the cusp of the end of their careers could use some retirement advice from time to time. Many young people think of retirement as a faraway time in their lives that they don’t need to worry about for decades. The truth is, the earlier you start planning for retirement and saving, the easier time you will have when you need to bear down. Here are a few tips for saving money for retirement:

Analyze and re-analyze your portfolio. Setting up an investment portfolio is great, but nurturing your portfolio will create wealth for your retirement for years. Make sure that you are constantly reassessing and examining your portfolio and keep it deep and diversified. Your spouse can help. If you’re married, include your spouse in your retirement savings plans. Maybe he or she can help you with expenses to trim your regular budget and allow more money for retirement savings. Plan for the retirement of both of you, and ask for help. Seek advice from a financial planner. Getting professional help for your retirement savings plan can be expensive, but the personalized advice from a dedicated planner is worth the fee in the long run. Financial planners can set up investment portfolios and let you find the best ways to set aside savings for your retirement.

Financial Tips to Save for Retirement

It’s never too early to begin saving for retirement. All financial planners tell their customers that if you are a working adult who wants to retire someday, the time to start the process of saving for that life after work is now. People of all ages have begun saving for retirement so that they have something to fall back on when they are done working. Here are a few tips from the professionals to get you started:

•    Reassess your portfolio. You have created a diversified portfolio with stakes in smart sectors spread throughout the business world, but your work isn’t done. Wise investors need to constantly reassess their portfolio to see where improvements can be made to maximize investment returns.

•    Reassess your expenses and make changes whenever possible. As your life changes, you will need to adjust your expenses and budget to make sure you are putting enough aside for your retirement down the road.

•    Consider your spouse. If you’re married, see if your spouse is also saving for retirement and see if they will share expenses to ease your financial burden and allow you to save more for retirement.

•    Seek professional help. Getting the advice of a professional financial planner along the way is worth the fee they charge. They can suggest the best investment and budgeting options for you based on your specific financial situation.

Gary Kapanowski: Black Belt Certification

Gary Kapanowski has studied Lean Six Sigma thoroughly and holds a Master Black Belt certification issued by Lawrence Technological University. He believes that using this technique in life can help improve a person's overall function. Gary Kapanowski's goal is to educate as many people as possible on the benefits of using the method in everyday situations. Lean Six Sigma is best described as a collection of methods that use a team approach to improve overall performance.

The Lean Sigma Six method has been shown to greatly help its practitioners learn how to better attend to their customer's needs and promote the overall success of the business. Gary Kapanowski credits his ability to fully utilize and understand the method to his mentor Dr. Robert Kaplan. He credits him with helping him to win the Financial Executive of the Year Award in 2006. "I was trained in a seminar by Dr. Kaplan, the guru of the Balance Scorecard, which is how I won the 2006 FEYA award,” said Kapanowski.

Gary Kapanowski suggests to all the Six Sigma employees to learn follow his example and find a dedicated mentor. It's somewhat intimidating for those with White and Yellow Belts, because they are unfamiliar with the consulting and technological duties provided by Green and Black Belts. Gary Kapanowski is adamant that they key to the program’s success is having a great mentor. It really aids in making the process less intimidating and more exciting.

Mentors are also very helpful in making newly trained employees feel more secure in their abilities. Six Sigma is something that many companies try to incorporate into their daily operations, but in varying ways. Gary Kapanowski believes that Green and Black Belt trainees should try to lead projects and mentor others within the same areas that their interests lie. It's important that a Green or Black Belt be confident in his or her position and make sound decisions for the team.

Literacy Builds Independence

Adults who grew up illiterate often don’t learn to read because they’re ashamed or feel stupid, Gary Kapanowski says. Lack of literacy makes them dependent on others to complete most tasks. Illiteracy may also place the adult or someone else in danger. An adult who learns to read increases his or her independence. Literacy also builds confidence; an adult afraid to leave a familiar neighborhood can go out and enjoy new people and places more easily when he or she learns to read.

Save More than Spend

This is the rule that seems most obvious, but almost no one keeps, according to Gary Kapanowski. As weight decreases when calories decrease, money increases when it is saved rather than spent. When you receive a paycheck, Gary Kapanowski recommends you figure out how much you can keep after taxes. From that, take care of necessary expenses first. Save everything left over, dipping in only for emergencies. Once a month or so, treat yourself with a big purchase or a day out with friends and family.
