Look at your past expenses.  Ideally you have records from the past few months.  You will probably have some money you spent that you can not account for.\n\nFigure out what expenses are required and what are discretionary.  If you are spending too much try to limit your discretionary spending.  You may also have to determine what of your required expenses are actually necessary.\n\nA budget is like a diet, you need to build some fun in or it will not work.  You have to give yourself some money to spend beyond the minimum.  While having a limit may seem like a pain at first, it can also make you be creative with how can I enjoy this $20 I can spend on fun to have the most fun.

if you are running a business from home or deducting some home office expenses then you could deduct a portion of the security system as needed to protect the business assets and production of income.\n\nirs.gov would be a place to read up about deducting business or home office expenses.

As a rule of thumb: take your expenses per year and multiply by 20.\n\nFor example, if your total expenses per year are $30K (rent, food, car, taxes, medical etc...), you will need $600K.\n\nSounds like a lot ? You need to (1) start saving immediately (2) reduce your expenses and lifestyle, for example, drive a small car, find a cheap place to retire...

Inventory - well just ask the accountant for a list of all purchases during the last two years, if they ask if you need it tomorrow, tell him or her that if you needed it tomorrow you would of asked for it tomorrow.\n\nThen count all the computers, monitors, and servers, printers, office desks, chairs, give a brief description of each and give them to the accountant to determine a replacement cost, and  a current market value... and again if they ask if you need it tomorrow, tell him or her that if you needed it tomorrow you would of asked for it tomorrow.\n\nIf anything goes wrong - blame it on the accountant...\n\nif you want any more advice on how to climb the ladder your going to have to send me money.

You're a step ahead of most people.  By now, you have a good grasp of what you're spending money on.  Take a good hard look at how you're spending your money.  Some expenses are "fixed" - meaning they don't vary each month.  Some expenses are essential (food, gas, housing, etc), while others are not (morning latte, manicure, movie tickets, etc).  Take a look at where you can cut back on those "wants" rather than "needs" and you'll find that saving money is not that difficult.\n\nNow set some goals for how much you'd like to save.  Start each month by paying yourself, so to speak, and put money in your savings account in order to build a nest-egg.  Some people find that having money automatically withdrawn from their paycheck is the easiest way to "force" them to save.  \n\nYou may want to check out this cool calculator that can help you manage your budget:  http://www.fuzeqna.com/smcu/consumer/kbdetail.asp?kbid=1929\n\nYou might want to use a software program such as Quicken to help manage your finances and goals.  But the system isn't as important as the action.  You're on your way!

Hey, Grad Guy,\n\nForgive me for just wanting to ask you a question first.\n\nOn what basis are you deducting the other costs of her thesis expenses?\n\nIf you are already doing so, you just continue on that basis, no big deal.\n\nIt is so hard for me to think that you haven´t thought these things through already.  To offer suggestions, I have to assume you are not, as Judge Learned Hand opined, ordering your affairs to pay the lowest possible tax.\n\nIf you want, post up under details that you want some suggestions....\n\nGood Luck.

Use software like Excel by yourself to manage your daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly and yearly expense.  Do monthly comparisons to know why do you spend more this month vs. last month and suggest yourself where to cut cost in the coming months.  After a few monthes later, you would be in control and have an overview of your financial status and a clear prospect of how much you would save in the future.

First you need to write everything you pay for in a month in a notebook. This will tell you where some of your spending problems are. After this create a  budget. Leave your self spending money so you don't feel like your depriving yourself. Many people will not leave anything for themselves , feel bad, and blow their budget. If you have credit cards put them in a metal coffee can and freeze them. This will take some of the impulse out of your spending because while you are taking the time to thaw them out you are really thinking whether or not the item is worth it. Thats why you put it in a metal can so you can't use the microwave. Lastly remember to pay yourself first. Always make sure to put something away in savings. If you can do this with direct deposit, I would recommend this highly so that after a couple of weeks you won't even remember that you had it. Good Luck:)
