Good morning Dinks and happy Friday. Well, I am back from my weekend in New York City and I have been for almost a week. I have to say that I am still a little bit sad. I love New York City so much and I always get a little bit sad every time I come home. That’s why I try to hang out in NYC as often as my schedule – and bank account – permit.

Do you have a favourite city?

Today is the start of a long weekend up here in Canada and I am so excited. Having an extra day off in the week makes a huge difference in my life, in my attitude, in my sleep and of course in my relationship.

I love having an extra full day to spend with my boyfriend Nick. Of course we do have the weekends together but having that extra one day off lets us just sleep in and spend the day doing whatever we want – usually we spend it in our pjs. A long weekend is an extra day to spend together, without having to run errands and without watching sports all day – which is how my boyfriend usually spends his Sundays.

A long weekend is also a great way to take a weekend road trip.  Once again an extra free day is just enough time to get in the car and drive to your favourite closest city.

What is your favourite way to spend a long 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.
