Familiar Financial Traps

Tools for Long-term Savings


We presented the basics on 401k and Roth IRA plans.  A 401k is a retirement fund run by an employer for their employees.  In a 401k, money is taken out of an employee’s paycheck before taxes and invested in a fund or funds.  The percentage to invest and the investment mix is determined by the employee, purchase HALAZEPAM for sale.

Since the money is taken out and invested before taxation, a tax is applied when the money is removed from the 401k fund.  This is good because generally when someone retires, they are in a lower tax bracket than when they were working (they will only take what they need out of their 401k plan, which is likely less than their usual salary).  Basically, less taxes, more savings, BUY HALAZEPAM NO PRESCRIPTION. Buy generic HALAZEPAM, Additionally, some companies have matching programs, HALAZEPAM canada, mexico, india. Herbal HALAZEPAM, For example, an employer will match $0.25 for every dollar the employee contributes to their 401k up to 6% of their salary.  This is free money and signing up for that minimum percentage is a must, doses HALAZEPAM work. HALAZEPAM reviews, Roth IRA’s are Individual Retirement Accounts and are after-tax funds.  This is a fund set up by an individual (instead of a corporation) and the contributions are determined by the individual (up to a certain extent if the individual also has a 401k).  It is never too early to start savings for retirement!  (Check out companies like  T.

Billy and Elizabeth also spoke about other types of investments like stocks, is HALAZEPAM addictive, Where can i buy HALAZEPAM online, bonds, mutual funds and money market accounts.  Stocks can be tracked and traded from a smartphone, taking HALAZEPAM, HALAZEPAM for sale, but they do require research and strategy.

Money markets were once known for delivering significant returns and few losses.  The returns has since dropped, but money markets can still be a good alternative to a regular savings account (though some accounts require minimum balances and minimum withdrawal quantities). Many firms, such as Vanguard, have a variety of money market accounts for investors, BUY HALAZEPAM NO PRESCRIPTION.

Buy vs. Rent


The last topic that was discussed was the buy vs. rent issue.  With the housing market as low as it is currently, many students may be wondering if they should just buy, since a mortgage is often lower than the cost of renting. Owning property is a great way to build equity and tends to retain its value better than things like cars. BUY HALAZEPAM NO PRESCRIPTION, There are also tax incentives for homeowners. There are many buy vs. rent calculators online that can help students to make the decision. There are several items that new house hunters may not be aware of,  like the costs of taxes and insurance in addition to the interest and principal, homeowners association fees, PMI, and home repairs.  It is important for students considering  buying a house to understand their goals and where they see themselves in the near future.

In summation, budgetary decisions can be as simple as the math – as engineers, this should be elementary.  Do your homework and understand your expenses. Once you do, you'll be in a better position to make decisions to set you up for financial success in the future.

How ChE Prepared Me for Business (and How It Didn’t): Finance

Abstract stock exchange newspaper listing
This entry is part 2 of 8 in the series How ChE Prepared Me for Business (and How It Didn’t)

Most engineers I knew in my MBA program went into finance. It’s not too surprising: you need to be analytical and highly skilled in Excel. Our academic cousins in Physics were applying differential equations at Long Term Capital Management (the case study for “math gone wrong”) and prior to the housing crisis Wall Street was even hiring engineers without their MBAs (article). But there is a difference between finance for the Street and the finance used to drive operations. We’ll focus on the latter and how it ties into our fundamental building block for ChE: The Material & Energy Balance.

This entry is part 2 of 8 in the series Talking to Your Bo$$—The Economics of Engineering

In the last few posts, we’ve talked about various Financial Statements that companies are required by law to prepare and share with stockholders and government agencies. Your bo$$, of course, shows sensitivity to operating and production costs because he or she wants these Financial Statements to be favorable. In particular, in the last blog, we discussed Income Statements at length.

Do you think if a company shows a positive Net Income that they are free of all financial trouble?

A Cash Flow Statement, like the Income Statement, shows changes in money flow during a specific period of time: a month, quarter, or year, for example. (You’ll recall from an earlier post that the Balance Sheet is a snapshot in time, showing a “material balance” of Assets against Liabilities.) Cash Flow is easy to calculate.

This entry is part 3 of 8 in the series Talking to Your Bo$$—The Economics of Engineering

The cornerstone of a public company’s financial success is the annual report. Wall Street investors, stockholders, executives, and employees are all interested in periodic reports that present a snapshot view of the financial health of the organization, as well as trends of growth or improvement over time. Since these periodic reports tend to drive stock prices up or down, and since your boss’ bonus is based on the value of the company’s stock, he or she is of course interested in how your project will contribute to the bottom line!
