Good Morning DINKS and Happy Friday.  It’s almost officially summertime and that means the outdoor summer festivals are about to start (if they haven’t already) in cities all throughout the United States and North America.  I can’t think of a better way to spend an afternoon than being out in the sunshine with some good food, fun entertainment, great music, shopping, and the chance to meet some new people.

Many towns offer outdoor concerts in local parks along with the various festivities such as a Busker Fest or a Food Festival, and who can’t get excited out celebrating the 4th of July? I am definitely always in the mood for a good parade.

What is your favourite thing to do in the summer?

I hope you all have a great weekend. Be sure to check out these great posts that we have rounded up for you from around the web.

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.
