Go to View | Encoding -> More -> Japanese (Auto-Select).

It's not perfect but it at least shows some characters.

Kasei da okane o chokinsuru youni shite kudasai?

Sounds like it's asking you to save up your money. Is that a bank statement?

?©?¹?¢?¾?¨?©?Ë?¨?¿?å?«?ñ?·?é?æ?¤?É?µ?Ä?­?¾?³?¢
Homework huh? Well, the statement would be easier to translate with some kanji, but here's a quick break down:

?©?¹?¢ can mean any of 100 things, but I'm taking it as assistance
?¾ is a particle
?¨?©?Ë is money
?¨ is another particle
?¿?å?«?ñ is savings as in bank savings
?·?é is to do.
?æ?¤?É?µ?Ä is in order to or to make sure that
?­?¾?³?¢ is please.

Actually...

kaseida is the past form of kasegu, which means "to earn (money)"
chokin suru means "to save money" (usually in a back account)

...suru yoni (shite kudasai/ onegai shimasu) is a polite way of asking someone to do something.

So, your sentence means something like this:
"Please make sure to save up the money that you make."

Online dictionaries are your friends.

Here's a great English-Japanese one: http://www.alc.co.jp
You enter the word in the form found in the frame on the left, then pick Japanese or English. This dictionary has a lot of examples, you will find it very helpful.

Another one: http://www.aa.tufs.ac.jp/~jwb/wwwjdic.html
This dictionary has a few great features, one being that you can search with romaji, ie. kasegu instead of the same stuff in kana. They also have a Java applet that is much like the handwritten IME pad. It allows you to draw kanji with your pointer and search for their meaning and compounds.

i know that youni shite oite kudasai means "please make ready" but how do you add in hiyou (expense) and nihon e ikeru (go to japan)
If you definitely have to use "... youni ... shite kudasai", then you could say:
Nihon he ikemasu(or ikeru) youni hiyou wo junbi (means "prepare") shite kudasai.

But this sounds a little clumsy. I would say:
Nihon he iku tame ni hitsuyou na(necessary - "na"-adjective) hiyou wo junbi shite kudasai.
