Happy Friday Everyone and Welcome to FinCon Weekend.  I would like to say congratulations to DC from Young Adult Money and to Pearl who are two lucky winners in our Coupon Cabin Giveaway.  Pearl please contact us by email so we can mail out your prize. DC, we have your info from a previous contest. Congratulations again to both of you.

This weekend financial bloggers from all over Canada and the U.S. are travelling to Denver Colorado for three days of workshops, networking, and keynotes at The Second Annual Financial Blogger Conference.

I am arriving in Denver this morning so if you are reading this and you are in Denver please be sure to find me and say “hello”. I am excited to attend FinCon because I can’t wait to meet up with my online friends in person. I am also looking forward to learning about blogging as a business from other personal finance bloggers and I am really excited to finally be able to meet with some of my employers face to face.

Enjoy these great posts from some of our favourite personal finance bloggers. Have a great weekend.

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.
