Good Morning and Greetings to All!

Since we DINKS have holdings in Canadian energy trusts, I wanted to let you know that there has been some news since the last time we blogged about Canroys current tax predicament. It looks like the energy trust industry and the Canadian government will be meeting. As near as I can tell from the article, the energy industry is going to try and stall for time, approximately 10 years worth of time.

While I’m not an expert, this seems like a good strategy to me. In a few years, the current government may be gone or Canada’s macroeconomic situation may change such that the tax is no longer necessary.

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.
