Hi All,

Last Wednesday was the long waited DC personal finance bloggers happy hour. A bunch of us met at a local Irish pub in Chinatown and chatted for a couple of hours over drinks and snacks. DC area pf bloggers are a likable bunch and these get togethers are good opportunities to network, chat and make jokes. Since this DINK had a great time here are the websites of the bloggers who attended:

Jaylin, You are Not Your Wallet

Donna Jean The Weight of Money

Mike Clever Dude

MapGirl MapGirl’s Fiscal Challenge

DebtHater, Debt Hater

Ms Micah, Mrs. Micah.com

J Budget, Budgets are Sexy

Mortar Board, Mortar Board Blog

We missed Jim over at Bargaineering.com, but otherwise a good time was had by all!

Thanks all!

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.
