Happy Friday DINKS!  As the weather gets nicer we may start to think about planning our vacations for the year.  If you are available the first weekend in October I invite you to join the Financial Blogging Community at the Financial Blogger Conference in Chicago.

The Financial Blogger Conference will be held October 1st and 2nd in Chicago, although the exact location has yet to be determined.  Financial Bloggers, Social Media Experts, Financial Professionals, Authors, and Financial Companies will all be attending the event.  Whether you are an employee in the financial industry, if you are a financial enthusiast, or you are a financial beginner, everyone is welcome.

The two day Financial Blogger Conference includes discussion panels, keynote speakers, social events, and an unlimited number of networking opportunities.  I invite everyone to come out and meet your favourite financial bloggers.  Confirmed guests who will be attending the Financial Blogger Conference October 1st and 2nd include Andrew and Gyutae from Money Crashers, J.D. Roth from Get Rich Slowly, and Adam Baker from Man vs. Debt.

The guest speakers at The Financial Blogger Conference are going to be full of good ideas and will be sharing their financial tips.  If you love finance, if you are trying to prioritize your finances, or if you have a financial goal then you need to be at The Financial Blogger Conference in Chicago October 1st and 2nd.  Come join us in the Windy City to eat some deep dish pizza, listen to some blues music, and enjoy The Financial Blogger Conference.  I have always wanted to go to Chicago and I am going to try and be there.  I hope I can make it, but if not then I hope to hear all about it.

Here are some posts about financial goals and priorities from around the web:

  • Get Rich Slowly offers an organizational worksheet in his post Establish Your Financial Priorities.
  • In honour of Financial Literacy Month Enemy of Debt posted a video and asked us to choose what is most important to us financially in his post What You Can Learn in One Minute a Day.
  • Money Crush tells us to seize the day and start planning and living for our financial goals in her post Stop Waiting for Perfection.

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.
