american flagHappy Friday DINKS and Happy 4th of July week.

How did you celebrate the 4th of July? Some of us may have watched the fireworks or went to a parade, some of us may have gone to the beach and worked on our tan, and some of us may have stayed at home and had a barbeque in our backyards.  I take advantage of any day off from work to catch up on my sleep and watch game shows for the better part of the morning.  I also really love watching Live with Kelly if I wake up early enough to catch it.

Enjoy this 4th of July week and enjoy these 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.
