3 Reasons to Shop at Small Businesses
PHOTOGRAPHER
Sam Young 925-301-7448
Big box retailers may offer certain conveniences, but shopping at a small business near you can be more satisfying -- from the personal service received to the unique items you may find, not to mention that shopping on Main Street benefits the local economy.
The Monthly Grapevine® We’ve 8440 Brentwood Blvd., Suite C Moved Brentwood, CA 94513 Available in Person Monday - Thursday 8:30am - 4:30pm After hours & Friday by Appointment Office: 925.634.0880 Fax: 925.634.7822 Write or text us info@TMGmag.com 24/7 at MonthlyGrapevine.com
Here are some retail trends and other things to consider as you shop at your favorite small businesses. The Local Economy By supporting small businesses, you are supporting local job creation. In fact, small firms accounted for over three-fifths of the new jobs created between 1993 and mid-2013, according to government statistics. Spending your shopping budget locally strengthens Main Street and can help your community’s economy thrive. New Technologies A common stereotype of mom and pop stores are that they are antiquated and overpriced, but many small businesses are adopting new technologies to streamline their operations; which can be an important consideration for shoppers in a hurry or on a budget. New Android based point of sale terminals, such as the ergonomically designed V-R7000 and V-R7100 from Casio have widescreen LCD touch panels, and an intuitive, high-resolution interface for faster sales and fewer transactional snafus. For example, these terminals come equipped with a battery to protect memory data in the event of a power failure, and offer efficient store operations
4
by eliminating common hardware problems experienced with PC based hardware. These information terminals can transform retail management and offer small businesses a chance to compete against their big box counterparts. Exclusive Items From the gift shop with handmade crafts made by neighborhood artisans, to the bookshop selling the works of local authors, shopping at small businesses means encountering items on sale that you won’t find elsewhere. Whether you’re redecorating your home or revamping your wardrobe, going local can help you get inspired. The next time you’re on a shopping spree, consider making a point of supporting your small, local businesses.

Who’s Who... in East County
A fresh coat of paint is the easiest way to transform the interior and exterior of your home and add value to your investment. Whether the goal is to revamp your current residence or sell, having your house painted by professionals adds indoor ambiance and greater curb appeal that undoubtedly attracts a wider range of potential buyers. Dollar for dollar, contracting with S. Page & Son Painting of Antioch is one of the simplest and least expensive ways to renovate and increase the worth of residential and commercial property. In addition to cosmetic enhancement, painting protects building materials and drastically reduces the risk of costly future repairs. Exterior painting provides a defensive shield, guarding against severe weather conditions that erode structural surfaces. Expert painters can also make recommendations to protect buildings from unwelcome and detrimental insect infestations. It’s no wonder that the owner of S. Page & Son, Jason, has a passion for painting, ceiling work, and drywall. His grandfather helped to paint the Golden Gate Bridge when it was built and his father began his own painting business in 1979. Inspired by these men, he followed in their footsteps and now has over 20 years of experience. Like his forefathers, he takes great pride in his work. A self-proclaimed “on-site boss,” he personally oversees each job to assure the work is done as agreed upon, resulting in a high level of customer satisfaction. S. Page & Son Painting offers competitive pricing combined with quality products and exceptional workmanship. Ask about their complete interior and exterior home discounts and the rate reduction for senior citizens. Take advantage of their years of experience by allowing skilled experts to get the job done right, on time, as promised.

Top 5 Estate Planning Mistakes People often ask me what the most common Estate Planning mistakes are. There are 5 mistakes that are recurring. They are: 1. No Estate Plan. The most common mistake is no Estate Plan. No Will, no Trust, no provision for guardianship of minor children, no Healthcare Directive in the event of illness, no Power of Attorney which would allow for bills to be paid. It is so sad to see children coming into my office needing a conservatorship for a parent because there was no Trust providing for incapacity. 2. The Estate Plan is not Current. Most existing Estate Plans that I see are out of date and provide for AB/By-Pass Trust which is no longer necessary for 99% of the people. It is very important that you amend a Trust with AB/By-Pass Trust provision prior to the incapacity of a spouse. If a spouse does not have capacity to amend the Trust, it is too late
3. No Government Benefit Planning provisions. Most existing Trusts that I see do not have any provision for Government Benefit provisions. If there is any possibility that you will need government assistance such as skilled nursing, your Trust should include the power for your Trustee to deal with governmental agencies and to apply for benefits such as Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and other services. 4. Failure to put Assets into Trust. The failure to put assets into the Trust is the most common mistake for all Revocable Living Trusts. Real property must be put into the Trust through a Deed that is recorded with the county recorder. Bank accounts must be in the name of the Trust or they will be subject to Probate unless there is a beneficiary designation on the account. 5. Failure to have Beneficiary Designations on Assets. To the extent that assets are not going into the trust, you need to make

sure you have the correct beneficiary designations on your accounts. I recommend checking all of your accounts once a year. A common problem is that accounts get moved to new bank/ brokerages and you have forgotten to do beneficiary designations on the new accounts.
to remove AB/By-Pass trust provision. Also, make sure your Estate Plan still reflects your desires. Are their new grandchildren you wish to provide for, should there be a Special Needs Trust for any of your beneficiaries?

How to Budget for Your Future Travel Plans Your budget may not have allowed you to take the vacation you wanted in the past, but don’t let the same reason hinder your wanderlust indefinitely. A few changes to your routine can help you reach your vacation goal.
• Budget your time: Before making any travel plans, check your job’s vacation policy so you can budget your days off from work accordingly. If you don’t get paid time off from work, the pay cut is also an important item to consider in your financial budget.
Here are a few quick tips to consider:
• Temporarily skip extras: Which of your daily expenses are necessary and which are optional? Consider packing your lunch for a month or using the company coffeemaker instead of indulging in a daily latte at the café around the block. At the end of the month, calculate the savings and “pay yourself” by directing this money to your vacation fund.
• Contribute to a vacation savings account: Big travel purchases, like airfare and hotel accommodations, are hefty withdrawals if you don’t set aside money specifically for a vacation. Earmark a portion of each paycheck to send straight to a dedicated vacation savings account. Once it’s there, don’t touch it until it’s time to pay for your trip. • Create a budget: A budget is the only way to track your spending and ensure you have more coming in than going out. Make your budgeting as seamless as possible with Casio’s new CLASSWIZ fx-991EX scientific calculator. Typically a
• Consider coupons: Vacation packages found on daily deal sites can be just the ticket you need to get the vacation you want for less. Other travel sites often offer special rates if you bundle purchases. Investigate these options before resigning yourself to an expensive a la carte plan.
• Be on time: A missed flight or train could cost you a pretty penny you did not account for when drawing up your vacation budget. Invest in a watch that will help you stay true to your itinerary, such as Casio’s line of EDIFICE timepieces. These watches automatically adjust to the time zone and come with daily alarm settings and countdown timer settings. You don’t need to defer your vacation again this year. A few tips can keep you on track for a memorable vacation.
