As part of our quest to become millionaires, we have updated our net worth for May. I am pleased to report the value of our wealth increased by nearly 9 percent over last month. This appeared to be driven by at least three factors:
1) Our wedding savings: As you may have gathered, we’ve been aggressively saving to get married in July. We anticipate that we should be nearly twenty thousand dollars poorer after the wedding. But, its a small price to pay for a lifetime of happiness!
2) HANS: The value of our Hansens Shares has increased by nearly 50 percent since we purchased them. It goes without saying that we’re very happy about this.
3) Expected tax returns: We anticipate getting nearly $14,000 in tax returns back from the DC and Federal governments. While some people don’t think its appropriate to credit money that we don’t actually have in hand, we are fairly confident the government will pay us.
Enjoy!

DINKS (Dual Income No Kids) Finance is a blog discussing personal finance for couples. While by no means financial experts, we own a variety of assets including real estate and stocks. We've been up to our eyeballs in debt and have made tons of financial mistakes. However, we've successfully retired that debt and we both do learn from our failings. We hope that our voice in this blog can help others in achieving their goals!
