Happy Friday DINKS.  My boyfriend Nick bought me the Nintendo Wii video game Just Dance for my birthday last month, and for over 30 days I have been dancing to the song “It’s Raining Men”.  So in honour of my Nintendo Wii today we have rounded up the best posts from some of our Favourite Male Personal Finance Bloggers.

Enjoy and Have a Great Weekend DINKS!

– Trent @ The Simple Dollar talks about our biggest asset and possibly our biggest time consumer in the post “Is Your Home and Investment?

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.
