Good Morning Folks,

Today’s posting is about something rather old-fashioned, saving money. While I’m not a fan of a lot of traditional advice about saving money, I did want to make our readers aware of a new and innovative program called America Saves.

The reason why America Saves is so awesome is because of dismal state of financial literacy in the USA. A lot of Americans have only a poorly developed sense of the importance of things like interest rate or the importance of managing debt. America Saves is a coalition of activist groups, think tanks, banks and local governments who’s aim is to promote healthy money saving habits among American families.

Its worth looking into. If you’re interested in starting a savings program, but really have no money at all, they can help. If you want tips on saving money, they’ve got em. If you’re interested in helping American become a better place, I’m sure they’d welcome the input from anyone who wants to assist in getting a program set up locally.

Check it out. America Saves.

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.
