Good Morning DINKS and Happy Friday.  This was my first week back to work after my eye surgery and I am working only progressively because working on a computer is definitely straining my eyes.  I keep telling myself that the pain is only temporary and it is for the greater good, but honestly I am getting really sick of living with pain really fast.  I am definitely looking forward to getting back into a regular routine.

I hope that you all had a great week.  We have collected some great posts for you this week from around the web, so enjoy and have a great weekend.

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.
