Happy Friday Dinks.  We have some great giveaways and great posts for you today.  It’s almost the end of February and March is just a few days away.  I love March because it starts to get sunnier and a little bit warmer up here in the cold Northeast.  The end of February is the light at the end of the winter tunnel, it’s the hope that spring is coming soon.

I apologize to all you winter lovers, but I am just not a fan of the cold weather.  I love spring because it’s a promise of better things (aka the warm weather) to come. I love the fresh flowers and the sunshine, however I could live without the rain; although any Northeastern-er will probably tell you that rain is way better than snow.

What do you love about spring?

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.
