Happy Friday DINKS! Our retirement savings strategies are very important for our financial future.  We all work at our jobs, and save our money, in hopes of eventually retiring with enough money to live comfortably.

We have rounded up the best retirement posts from around the web that discuss everything from setting realistic retirement goals to Annuities as a retirement investment option.  We hope you enjoy these posts.  Have a great weekend DINKS.

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.
