Hello Folks,

This quick video from Meredith Whitney caught my eye. Just as a reminder, Whitney is an independent analyst who called the housing bubble and subsequent crash back in 2008. She’s a smart cookie. In this one her comments echo what I’ve been hearing from Mortgage lenders in the DC area, so it might be an informative watch if you’re investing in real estate or mortgage backed securities.

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.
