Happy Friday DINKS.  I hope you all had a great week.  Today we have rounded up the best posts from around the web about couples planning their lives together, rebuilding our finances after the recession, a different view on credit cards, as well as some money myths.

We learn how to do things correctly by learning from our mistakes.  But financial books, blogs, and websites can also be a great source for us to learn about money management, investing wisely, setting a budget and helpful financial tools.

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.
