Hi All,

Here is a quick “living frugal” tip for Saturday. Avoid bottled water. The economics make a lot of sense. Bottled water costs 89 cents to 2 dollars a gallon, but home filtered water is costs from 3 to 18 cents per gallon. Tap water is free. Also, a lot of bottled water is essentially filtered tap water, so you’re not always getting a good value. If you want a frugal home, tap water is the way to go.

Today’s tip: skip the bottled water.

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.
