Hi All,

Well, it looks like the economy isn’t out of the woods yet. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation is announcing that three more banks have failed. This time its:

Southern Community Bank, Fayetteville, Georgia

Cooperative Bank, Wilmington, North Carolina

First National Bank of Anthony, Anthony, Kansas

Personally, I’m looking forward to the recovery. It will be nice when this steady stream of bank failures start to wind down as I’m starting to lose track. It’s an unfortunate activity that reminds you we simply are not the “prosperous” society we once were.

The gory details are 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.
