Hi All,

Well, the spending packages in Washington just keep getting bigger and bigger. These days the numbers are becoming astronomical. This months latest bailout package is nearing a trillion dollars. Now, I think the dollars spent in Washington are nearing amounts where most people don’t actually understand them, simply because we’re not used to dealing in figures that large. For example, I wouldn’t know what a trillion dollars looks like if it hit me in the face – there are only six bucks in my wallet.

So, here is a quick news clip summarizing the issue and trying to make the figure intelligible.

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.
