We DINKs are super excited to roll out our new look and feel of our blog. We’ve worked hard to make sure that our readers are able to more easily access the last three and a half years worth of content.

Drop Down Menus
The thing we love most are our new blog are the drop down menus where you can research topics ranging from integrating couples finance, managing conflict, or planning for retirement. It is all there and easy to find the best of the best.

Online Bookstore
The DINKs proudly present our new online bookstore. As you can see from the book review section, we have read a great deal of personal finance books. We’ve built this online bookstore as an easy tool for our readers to find the best of finance lit. You can also search for any other books you might be interested in. For those of you who may not be aware, Powell’s books is the largest independent book store in America, covering a full city block in Portland, Oregon.

Finance Videos
Regular readers know that James in particular loves to find finance videos. We’ve sorted through and categorized them so you can find all of your favorites in one easy place. Enjoy watching!

New DINKs Writer
We would also like to introduce Michael, our new Finance Writer Extraordinaire and Chief Programmer. Recently married, Michael is also a DINK who has joined the team. He is a software engineer and a Computer Science Masters student in Washington, DC.

Finance Calculators
We also have a whole new selection of finance calculators. These include: Real Estate Calculators, Rent or Buy, CD Calculator, Credit Card Calculator, and Loan Amortization. Plus, to get back to the basics, we also have a finance glossary.

Downloads
We also have
new downloads for budget and net worth templates. Available on sidebar and below.



We hope that you enjoy the new changes to our blog. Please feel free to drop us a comment to let us know what you think.

Cheers,
Miel&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.
