Happy Friday DINKS.  Can you believe that it’s already January 20… January is almost over. I feel like I just celebrated New Year’s Eve and in just a few days January 2012 will already be over. I hope that you have all had a great year so far.

Let me ask you a question DINKS… How is it going with your New Year’s Resolutions? Did you make one (or more)? If so what was it and are you sticking to it?

My New Year’s Resolution was to become more active with the Twitter Workout Promise. Now I work out 4 times a week on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays.  If you are on Twitter and you want a support group to help you get moving and get active in the New Year then join us at #TwitterWorkoutPromise.  We already have several PF Bloggers who have made the virtual pinky swear to become more active in 2012.

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.
