Yeah! James & I are now officially finance book critics. James has already been doing this for years with a pretty extensive collection of finance books, not to mention having checked out every book worth while at the MLK library.

We recently brainstormed on ways to enhance our blog and came up with the idea of asking publishers to send us books to review. James sent out a couple of requests and got a hook right away. Our first free book to review and discuss showed up by UPS last night. In the holiday season where receiving gifts is always great, it was delightful to have the package arrive.

Our first book is the Online Millionaire – Strategies for Building a Web-based Empire on eBay and Beyond. I haven’t had a chance to take much of a crack at it, but perhaps you’ll find us surfing in our pajamas with loads of cash rolling in. You’ll have a full review soon to come, but I thought I’d share my excitement about getting free stuff at the holidays that my mom doesn’t have to send me!

Happy Holidays!

P.S. Never fear, we are fully free to give our opinions and don’t have to review anything positively, so you’ll get our real opinions on the books we review.

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.
