Hi All,

Today’s money saving tip is: skip the booze.

I met some friends out for dinner last night at a lovely restaurant in Eugene, Or. We ended up having a four course meal, with appetizers, salad, a main course and desert. To garnish it all off, we ordered wine and coffee. While it was a great opportunity to meet with friends and family – my mom paid – we could have shaved the bill by avoiding paying for the $20 bottle of wine.

Since liquor and alcohol can be a large expense, you might consider avoiding alcohol all together and instead finding a cheaper substitute like sparking or tap water.

Your liver and your wallet will thank you.

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.
