SMART when applied to goal setting stands for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Timely. Keeping New Years's resolutions, actually losing the weight you plan to, getting organized and stressing less are all admirable things to strive for. What these good intentions often lack is a guide for making them happen. By framing desired achievements around the SMART acronym, even long term goals can become a reality. Specific: A specific goal is one which states exactly what you want to accomplish. Inherent in the stated goal is some sense of how, when and why you are striving for this outcome. Losing weight is a popular goal but it's not very specific. Are you losing weight to improve health, impress an ex you expect to see at a reunion or to fit in a slinky dress? Your reason behind the goal can dictate how to go about it. Measurable: Measurable goals generally involve numbers. Saying you want to eat healthy isn't quantifiable. Are you hoping to decrease BMI by a certain percent? Is your motivation lowering cholesterol? Attaching an actual amount to the goal keeps you honest and insures you'll stick with it. Achievable: Everybody dreams of writing a bestseller, traveling to all 50 states or retiring at age 55. Sounds great but are these goals achievable? Aiming for the moon often results in disappointment. Sometimes setting modest goals is the best way to insure success. If you want to pay off your credit card debts, getting a job might be your real goal. Employment is achievable while reducing debt with little or no income is not. Relevant: From a young age kids are encouraged to dream big. Definitely shoot for the stars but also temper that with a dose of reality. Relevant goals are those which tie in to your present circumstances. You shouldn't put the cart before the horse. Sometimes you have to pay your dues and be patient before it's your time. Make sure goals match both your current and future reality and apply to your life as it is today not how you hope it will be. Time-bound: Timing is everything and certainly factors into goal setting. SMART goals are time-bound. You should have a start and completion date in mind along with measurable benchmarks along the way. If you are prone to procrastination or always have an excuse why it's not a good time, then you understand the crucial importance of keeping your feet to the fire. Whether your goals are personal or professional, keeping these elements in mind will help you manage them. You hold the keys to your success so take control and map out how you plan to reach your goals. ...read more

Creating a budget is a way that you can show yourself how to cut costs and stay on track in order to save and live comfortably within your current income. Here's how to create your first budget: Know Your Monthly Income: The first step to creating a successful budget is knowing how much you make per month. This is going to ensure that you do not overspend, and that you leave some room to be able to save a good amount of your monthly income.  Calculate Necessary Costs: You will want to include rent, and other bills into your budget that are necessary. If you notice that there are some bills that are not necessary, such as your gym membership, then consider canceling to save yourself some money. Also, if you notice that some bill costs are high, contact the company to ask if you can receive a lower rate.  Calculate Other Expenses: You should calculate the costs of your grocery bills each month, the cost of eating out, the cost of clothing, and more. Obviously, you should cut the costs where you can, but still live within your means so that you can live comfortably without restricting yourself too much.  Set a Savings Goal: For every savings goal that you have, you should ensure that you have enough extra each month that you can put away and divide into each of these. For example, you should put some of your monthly income into a retirement account, savings for a home, savings for vacation, and more. If you need to make cuts in your budget in order to do this, be sure that you make that possible.  Look Through Statements: Calculate the amount of money that you spend each month that were unnecessary costs. Be sure that you cut these costs out completely and remind yourself how that money adds up. By adding up the costs, you will see just how much more money you could have used for necessary costs, or to save.  Creating your first budget is essential to getting your money organized. Doing this is going to ensure that you are able to spend less than what you make each month and save for things that are important to you.  ...read more

Value is more than money, even though our current society is likely to put a price on everything. Value has relevance to spirituality, ethics and self esteem as well as economics. When you ask yourself questions regarding what you truly value above everything else, the answers will help you to approach life coaching and financial management with an attitude that will ensure your success.  Do you have a long-term goal that seems totally out of reach? Are you unsatisfied, but not really sure how to get off of the treadmill and start living a meaningful life? Before you can work toward something, you have to know what it is. If you are trying to save money just for the sake of saving money, then you will be constantly distracted by life's incidental pleasure and pain. It is a lot easier to make intelligent monetary choices if you are working toward something that has a broader value for you.  So before you attack making a budget, evaluate what you already have, and evaluate whether or not you are even aware of what it is that you want. Then a system can emerge for you out of your own set of aspirations, based on your own standards. Here are some basic steps to take to get ready for setting your goals. Evaluate the place you currently live. Is it more a drain on your resources than an enhancement of your life?  Take a look at your current job. Does it challenge you to develop your mind, or is it providing an avenue to higher education or career development? Look at the people that you associate with every day. Do you care about these people? Do you share life goals? Do you respect their opinions? How well do you know them? Do you spend your spare time seeking happiness, or seeking pleasure? Spend some time thinking about the difference between immediate gratification and delayed rewards. Are you taking care of your body so that you aren't setting yourself up for a physical breakdown? Adopt an affirmation that you can reliably state every day. Start with something very simple, such as, "My awareness of what I really want in life will emerge more fully today." And say this every morning. As your values begin to emerge into clearer focus, then you will have a better idea of how to begin making changes.Contact usfor a free consultation on the most effective ways to shape a more satisfying life. ...read more

Some people have unpredictable income, which can make managing money a challenge. Unless you are single, you may also have to figure out how tobudget  fairly when you and your partner or spouse earn different incomes. By using percentages instead of specific dollar amounts, it’s a lot easier to budget, save and more equitably share bills. Instead of deciding to allocate $50 a month for retirement, the idea is to save a certain percentage of all income toward retirement and other short and long-term savings goals. To grow wealth, you need to “pay yourself first.” Saving for retirement A good financial habit is to budget10 percent of your income for retirement. You can save and invest in a variety of retirement vehicles depending on your individual situation including a Roth IRA, Traditional IRA, 401(k) or Roth 401(k). If possible, have 10 percent of our income automatically deducted from your paycheck and invested. A personal budget coach can help you figure out which retirement vehicle is best for your situation. Saving before spending is how you pay yourself first. Setting up a rainy-day fund In addition to saving 10 percent for retirement, it’s also smart to save an additional 10 percent into a regular savings or money market account. Your emergency fund should be a liquid account that’s easy to access as opposed to stocks that need to be sold. After you build up the equivalent of 6 months worth of your typical income into an emergency fund, you can use the savings for other purposes such as vacations. Continue to save 10 percent out of yourbudget. The money can be used for a variety of short term goals such as college, a new home, new appliances and a car. Paying based on income At this point, you have 80 percent of your paycheck or other sources of income left to spend on bills and other things. If you are single and living alone, you probably don’t share bills with anyone else. However, if you share expenses with a significant other or family member, it’s important to pay bills based on your income. For example, if you earn $20,000 a year and your partner earns $30,000 a year, you add the two together to get $50,000 of household income. Then divide how much you earn into the total household income to figure out your share. In this case, your share is 40 percent and your partner’s share is 60 percent. If the electric bill is $100; then, you pay $40 and your spouse pays $60. After paying your bills, you hopefully have some money leftover in your budgetto accelerate debt payoffs. The ideal scenario is to put 10 percent of your income toward debt. You could supplement the minimum monthly payment you already make. Choose the debt with the smallest balance to zero in on first with your extra money. After that’s paid off, shift to the next debt. While paying an extra 10 percent toward debt and saving 20 percent, you’ll be living on 70 percent of your income. After your debt is paid off, you can either choose to live on 80 percent of your income or put that 10 percent into an investment account to grow wealth.

A new survey shows one-third of Americans have nothing at all saved for retirement. For the Millennials between the ages of 18 and 29, the retirement scenario is even more dismal with 70 percent having no retirement savings. When creating a budgetplan, it’s critical to include retirement savings as a priority. According to arecent articleby USA Today, a survey by Bankrate.com showed even many older people have not planned for their retirement futures. Whether you are in your 20s or 60s, it’s never too early or too late to get started with a budget. It’s important to avoid certain retirement savings pitfalls when you start the journey. Failing to choose a retirement vehicle Saving for retirement is not the same as saving for an emergency. Emergency savings should be put into a liquid account that’s easy to access such as a money market or standard saving account. Most experts recommend budgeting between 10 and 30 percent for retirement. Another way to approach the matter is to figure out how much you are eligible to contribute to a 401(k) or a Roth IRA. Some higher income earners are not eligible to contribute to a Roth IRA, but they can typically save for retirement in a traditional IRA account. Saving too much for retirement One common mistake people make when they are pumped about saving for retirement is allocating too much in their budget for retirement savings. Saving too much for retirement can backfire if you have a financial emergency. Withdrawing money from a 401(k) can result in severe tax consequences and penalties. It’s better to budget for emergency savings before allocating money for retirement. Once you have a 6 to 9-month emergency savings account, there should be no problem maxing out your 401(k) or Roth IRA contributions each year. Living paycheck-to-paycheck People who live paycheck-to-paycheck don’t set aside any money. They don’t necessarily have credit-card debt, but they also have no savings for emergencies or retirement. By following a budget, you can avoid being paycheck dependent. One key is to overcome the mentality that you have to spend your entire paycheck. If you can, set it up so a portion of your paycheck is automatically deposited into savings or into a retirement vehicle. At Budget Set Go, we have personal financial coaches who can help you learn to budget and save for the future. ...read more

When it comes to saving money at the grocery store, nothing can help you do that quite like couponing can. As such, one of the best tips for stretching your grocerybudgetinvolves couponing in order to purchase food at the lowest price possible. If you’ve always wanted to try couponing but didn’t know how to get started, perhaps these tips for beginning couponers will be helpful. Get organized You’ll want to start a filing system for coupons in order to be able to locate them quickly. A portable accordion-style file will work well for this. A number of couponing websites list local deals by the week, thereby allowing you to file Sunday newspaper inserts by date without even clipping them. You could have one accordion file for these inserts and another for coupons you get from other sources that are filed by category. In addition to creating a filing system, you’ll also need to organize your cabinets. Create separate space for canned goods, dry goods and bulk items so that you’ll be able to see at a glance how much of certain items you have on hand. The ability to do so will come in handy later whenever it’s time to go shopping and stockpile items. Make a List Now that you have your coupons handy, look through sales ads in order to find items that are at rock bottom prices. Next, make a list of these items so that you can plan to purchase them. Find the coupons you need-a coupon savings website can be an invaluable source when it comes to helping you locate the coupons you have filed by date. Double-check your coupons in order to make sure they have not expired, and then head out to the store. Go Shopping In the beginning, it could be best to stick to only one grocery store when couponing-at least until you get the hang of it. When shopping, keep in mind that grocery sales tend to repeat themselves every six to eight weeks. As a result, you should plan on buying enough of a particular item to last you that length of time in order to maximize your savings. In time, you’ll find couponing to be second nature, and will find it easier to shop at multiple stores in order to find incredible deals. Successful couponing requires some time and effort, but is well worth it in the long run. ...read more
