You can tell we had an exciting weekend when our big outing was going to the bank to deposit our jar of change! We filled our depository to near overflowing. We knew it was time to deposit it when our cats were beginning to push off the change in the morning to make noise and wake us up!

So we triple bagged the change and headed down to the bank. True, the bag was heavy, but it didn’t appear to be that substantial. Just before we dumped in the change we wagered a bet as to how much money was there.

In the end both our estimates were far off. James guessed $45 and Miel $50. In the end it was a whopping $85.80! Looks like we’ve got more change than we expected!

Enjoy your Monday! We’ll be busy studying and contemplating change!

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.
