Blogging can have lots of upsides. For my wife and I it’s a way to stay connected when our lives get busy. Another big upside to having a blog is that it’s like running a business. And part of this means getting sponsorship for the site.

Sometimes, though it’s about getting the right kind of sponsorship. For example, we recently turned down a inquiry from two payday loan lenders, one in the UK and one here in the States. We’ve also turned down two requests from advertising services similar to adbrite. Both wanted us to host video ads on a pay-per-click basis.

While there is a healthy place for advertising on this blog, both Miel and I are dead set against selling space to payday loan lenders. We won’t be associated with rip off artists. Regarding the two advertising services, there are already quite enough ads on the internet without your being exposed to them here.

Hope you enjoy your stay with the DINKS.

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.
