Good morning Dinks. What if all your dreams could come true in the next 15 minutes – would you love that? More importantly, would you take the opportunity? I know that I am working towards goals in my life and I am going to love the sense of accomplishment that I will have when I achieve all of my personal goals.  I am not sure if I would like to have all of my dreams come true over night because afterwards what would I be working towards?  But just for the sake of fun let’s pretend.

If you could have three wishes come true right now what would they be?

Did you wish for money?

If you wished for money, why? Maybe it’s because you think that money will honestly make you happy, maybe it’s because you want to pay off your debt or maybe you wished for money because it will give you the financial freedom to stop working your 9 to 5 and start doing what you really want to do in life.

Did you wish to be successful at your own job?

Think about that for a minute, what do you really want in life – if you could have anything right now what would it be? Some of us like the security of having a 9 to 5 with a company so maybe your wish is to be successful at your job. But others of us have dreams of being self employed, building our own business and waking up every morning to do something we love.  If money wasn’t a factor, would you be self employed?

Did you wish to live a long healthy life?

Some of us may have wished to live a long healthy life.  I personally hope to be healthy long enough to do all the things I want to and visit all the places I want to go.  I also hope to have the money to do so.  Some people may think that being healthy is more important than money, but what’s the benefit of being healthy if you don’t have the money to enjoy your life? I definitely hope not to suffer from an illness in my life and at the same time I hope to be healthy long enough to travel all throughout my life.

Did you wish for someone else?

Maybe someone you know is going through a tough time right now and maybe you wished for something good to happen to someone you know.  It’s hard to see family suffer through emotional, financial or physical problems. It can make you feel good and relieve stress to help out a loved one with one of your wishes.

OK Dinks so tell us- if you could have three wishes come true right now what would they be?

Here are my three wishes:

1. To be a successful author, quit my 9 to 5 and write books or work in publishing for a living.

2. To spend 6 months of the year, aka the cold months, in a warm European climate preferably in Portugal or Spain. However I don’t want to be picky, I will take a nice little house on a tropical Caribbean island too.

3. Third wish to be determined…maybe get married?

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.
