Hi All,

I don’t know if you remember this, but a while back there was a big scandal with tainted milk coming out of china. Something like 4 children died and over 50,000 got sick because the Chinese milk had melamine in it. It was hugely costly for business as Cadbury and Lipton had to recall a bunch of their Asian products (1).

Well, looks like the Chinese government is going to give the former milk company CEOs the death penalty (1). Thats not messing around.

Sometimes I think the US justice system is too lenient on white collar criminals. It’s a joke that guys like Bernie Madoff aren’t eligible for the death penalty. If one harms as many people as Madoff did, under any reasonable system one would be a prime candidate for the maximum penalty.

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.
