Hello Folks,

Its Saturday in the nations capital. We are both taking care of some personal business, but we wanted to turn you onto an article in MSNMoney looking at some of the reasons couples fight about finances.

Here.

The main insight the article offers is that most of the time people don’t actually fight about money itself. Usually there is some sort of underlying difference in values or communication that can drive the conflict. While not exactly earth shattering, its an important insight that bears repeating.

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.
