Fall is Fundraising season among many corporations and now it’s time for DINKS to Give Back.  If you are looking for a great new cause I suggest you donate to Love Drop.

It is a new site that I discovered (from a reader’s recommendation) over at It Starts With Us. I mentioned on a previous post that I choose to donate my time and volunteer with various charitable organizations such as United Way, Ovarian Cancer, and the Children’ s Hospital.

However, I chose to donate money to Love Drop because I think the concept is amazing. “Spend a dollar, Change a life” is the concept of Love Drop. Every month Nate St. Pierre from It Starts With Us and J. Money from Budgets Are Sexy will be dropping love to families and individuals in need via money through financial assistance, or donations through physical goods.

The amazing thing about Love Drop that sets it apart from many other charitable organizations is that donors can choose who receives their financial contributions.  Through a monthly VIP Membership of $20, $50, or $100 we can give to a great cause as well as suggest someone close to us who needs a bit of help. VIP Donors will also receive 24/7 access to the Love Drop community website, AND (drum roll please) an invitation to the Love Drop end-of-year celebration event.

This is for the lady DINKS.  There is a video posted online of Nate who is the founder of It Starts With US and it doesn’t hurt that he is extremely cute…I can`t wait to see Jay.  I love donating for a charitable cause, especially if it gets me noticed by two cute guys. I know that we are all in committed relationships but a little looking never hurt nobody! Smart, cute, and generous…Ladies, could we ask for anything more.  The world would be a much better place if we all dropped a little love more often.  Please “Spend a Dollar and Change a Life” with Love Drop.

I know that we are in a less than ideal financial situation right now and all of us could use a little extra money in our lives. However, please keep in mind that there is always someone who needs it more. I signed up to donate $5 a month. Every little bit counts; we should all drop some love for the greater good of those in need.

Please DINKS, visit the Love Drop website and Face Book Page to learn more about what the Love Drop team is doing.

If you have a financial product, service, or charity that you would like us to recommend to DINKS readers, please contact us by email.

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.
