Happy Friday Dinks.  Once again it’s that time of the week when we all go to work with a little more energy because we know that in less than eight hours we will be home for the weekend.  It’s March first and hopefully the weather starts to get warmer soon so that we can take full advantage of our two days off.

What are your plans this weekend?

My weekends are usually full of grocery shopping and cookbooks because I am learning to cook.  I used to spend a huge amount of money on eating out in restaurants and getting takeout food because I told myself that I was too busy to cook.  But that’s not true. The truth is that I was too lazy to learn to cook.  One of my goals this year is to save an extra $15k and I am going to do it by trying to eat out less by learning to cook.

I have to say that I am not a huge fan of the mess and the dishes, but I am actually enjoying grocery shopping and cooking at home.

Do you have an easy to make recipe that you want to share?

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.
