Happy Friday DINKS.  I hope that you all had a great week and I am sure that you are all looking forward to the weekend.  I always look forward to the weekend, even if I don’t have plans, even if I don’t have anything to do I always look forward to the weekend.  I enjoy being able to sleep as long as I want to, I enjoy not waking up to the annoying ring of my alarm clock at 7:15 every morning, and I enjoy being able to stay in my pyjamas all day if I choose to do so.

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.
