In the personal finance blogsphere we talk a lot about investing and saving money. However, one thing we don’t discuss is the proper policy for educating children about personal finance. Accordingly, todays posting is a video from the New America Foundation on precisely this topic.

Again, the video is a bit long, so as usual I recommend that you minimize your browser and play the video in the background.

Also, to round things out, we’re including a link to Assetbuilding.org. Assetbuilding.org is a website, again from the New America Foundation, with links to policy papers and economic data. if you want tips on saving money, its probably not the place to go. But if you want solid economic data and analysis about consumer finance, its a good spot to check out.

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.

6) Avoid high interest debt. Credit cards and title loans are financial cancer.

7) Diversify. Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
