Hi All,

I just saw a great article on the AP wire. Evidently more Americans are selling their stuff on-line. Why? – The article says the main reason is that high gas and food prices are obliging more people to drum up extra money to make ends meet. The websites they are using are craigslist.com, ebay.com, Livedeal.com and auctionpal.com.

For what its worth, I’m feeling the pinch a bit also. The price of a pound of ground beef at Safeway today was $6.60. Last year it was about half of that. Yipes! Some of my DVDs may be going on the auction block soon as well!

Best,

James

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.
