Good Morning Dinks and Happy Friday.

This is a very special weekend for me because it’s my birthday weekend and it’s also Canadian Thanksgiving.

On Tuesday October 9 I am turning 32 years old and I am actually excited about it. With the break-up of my family in 2010 and my extreme hatred for the step witch (aka my dad’s girlfriend) my last two birthday’s have not been really great, but this year it’s different.

I like to measure my personal success each year on my birthday and I have to say that so far 2012 has been a great year for me. I went to two different blogging conferences, I am working on my first book and I hope to have it finished by December 31.  I am back in school studying journalism, and I went to New York City twice, so all in all 2012 has been a great year.

I hope you all have a great weekend and happy thanksgiving to our Canadian Dinks.

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.
