The California Board of Regents recently approved a staggering 32% increase in undergraduate tuition over the next two years. California’s budget problems have been well-documented, but this figure blew me away. Obviously, this didn’t sit well with students, whose protests gained the attention of the police. If I was attending UCLA and paying my own way, this increase would probably spur a transfer. Yikes.

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.
