Hi All,

There’s a lot going on these days. However, here is some potential legislation that could have a big impact on your bottom line. If you are planning on buying a house in the near future you might be interested in hearing that congress is cooking up a $15,000 dollar tax credit for home buyers. This is a credit, which means that it would be a dollar for dollar reduction in your federal tax liability.

Basically the impact of this legislation would be to wipe out income taxes for one year for most people who buy houses. Since many peoples state income tax is pegged to their federal income tax, the thinking is this could push a lot of fence sitters into the market.

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.
