There is a great read in today’s New York Times. The story is about David Swenson. Mr Swenson is the chief investment officer for Yale University’s endowment. While David has been at the helm, he’s averaged an annual return of 16% for the Universitie’s Endowment. This performance has handily outstripped the average 11% market return over the 21 years Swenson has been investing.

If you have a spare moment, I highly recommend you check out the story. Its a great tale of how one person has made a lot of money while being true to his values and the profession he loves.

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.
