If you didn’t catch this story from Reuters a while back, you might be interested to know that the rating agency Standard and Poors appears to be concerned about the viability of the federal governments AAA credit rating (here).

Is this likely to happen? In all likelihood, probably not. That said, with the schizophrenic behavior of financial markets, the ongoing federal deficit and the future unfunded liabilities for social security and medicaid, it would be sensible to keep an eye out for any statements from the rating agencies regarding the national credit rating.

Best,

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.
