Good Morning Dinks, Happy Friday, and Happy June 1st.  As my favourite television shows are all on hiatus for the summer I have found myself being forced to find other ways to spend my time.  I know that it’s sad to admit that I live in a world that is ruled by my daily television schedule, but unfortunately it’s true. I started walking outside more often now that the weather is nicer and I have slowly started to exercise again since recovering from my eye surgery.

I am trying to find new things to do in my neighbourhood because I don’t really like to take public transportation and I also don’t want to be too far away from home in case my eye gets tired or sore and I have to lay down and rest it.  We need a new fruit bowl for our kitchen table and I am considering making it myself at this cute little ceramic store that I found a few blocks away from my apartment.  Don’t let my creative writing fool you, I am only creative on paper; my visual art talents are definitely not up to par as far as decorating and colour coordinating are concerned…so the ceramics and pottery should definitely be interesting.

I hope you all have a great weekend; here are some great posts from around the web this week:

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.
