Hi All,

Remember that glowing headline earlier this week – Goldman Sachs bank makes oodles of money?

Well, it turns out that the company decided to switch from a fiscal year to a calendar year when doing their accounting. This left an “orphan” month in their figures. Provided the month had been included, Goldman would have had to include a post-tax loss of $750 million to their figures.

In short, media reports may be overly rosy. They didn’t necesarily create as much wealth as is being portrayed.

Don’t believe me, check it out for yourself – here.

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.
