The DINKs proudly present our new online bookstore. As you can see from our book review section, we have read a great deal of personal finance books. We’ve built this online bookstore as an easy tool for our readers to find the best of finance lit out there.

We’ve read and tested all of these books and think they all offer some value to the reader. We’ve highlighted our favorites with *asterisks* to make it even easier to find our top pics.

If you have other books that you would recommend to us, please drop us a comment and we’ll try to read them when we can.

Clicking through and buying from our websites does a couple of things:

  1. Save Money: We’ve checked the prices of the major online bookstores and found Powell’s to have the best prices, often having used books as well. Plus, Powells is located in Oregon, so you never pay sales tax!
  2. Support DINKs: We’ll get 7.5% for referrals and will help pay us for our time bringing great content to our readers.
  3. Support Powell’s Books: If you don’t know already, Powell’s is the largest independent book store in the US and covers a rocking city block on the fabulous Portland, Oregon.

In addition to previewing by topic below, you can also link to our bookshelf directly at Powell’s to see everything we’ve picked.

You can also click through to sell books and we still get the referral, or you can search below for books of any kind. Those from the Pacific Northwest can also keep in mind that you can order online and pick them up in store, these include lots of books that are stored in their warehouse.

MANAGE YOUR MONEY TOGETHER

Here are some simple guidelines for DINKS to build wealth:

1) Collaborate: Meet regularly to talk about money, set goals together, track and monitor them.

2) Understand and respect your partner. Take time to understand your partners values about money.

3) Watch the numbers. Get a budget, monitor your spending and track your net worth.

4) Max your retirement. Maximize contributions to your tax deferred retirement accounts.

5) Invest in stock. Stocks perform better than bonds or cash.

6) Avoid high interest debt. Credit cards and title loans are financial cancer.

7) Diversify. Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
