Good Morning DINKS and Happy Friday.  We are still in the middle of a heat wave in the sweaty North East and I haven’t really done very much this past week except for eat popsicles and watch movies.  Last week my boyfriend Nick and I went to see the new Spiderman movie and on Tuesday I saw the movie Magic Mike with my girlfriends. Tonight Nick and I are going to see the new Batman movie.  I am not a huge comic book or super hero fan, but Nick is; and we both appreciate a good action movie.

The next action movie that I really want to see is the next film in the Jason Borne series. It is being released in August and I can’t wait to see it.  The Borne Legacy stars Jeremy Runner who is currently my favourite actor (tied with Ryan Reynolds).

I absolutely love going to the movies, and the best part is that I am not paying for any of my movie tickets.  I belong to a Movie Watcher program that allows me to accumulate points towards free movie tickets.  Since I hate the cold weather I very rarely go outside during the winter months, therefore I accumulate rewards points all year round and I use them to see all of the summer blockbuster movies for free. What is your favorite rewards program?

Have a great weekend DINKS 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.
