Happy Friday Dinks.  It’s the first Friday in May, what are you up to this weekend? Iron Man 3 starts today so I am hoping to see that movie this weekend.  As I get older I am not as tolerant of crowds as I used to be.  I definitely won’t see Iron Man 3 on Friday night but maybe Nick and I will go see it on Saturday or Sunday afternoon in an attempt to avoid the crowds.

I loved all of the previous Iron Man movies but sometimes as a saga goes on the quality of the movies gets lower, especially if the director changes with each new film.

What is your favourite movie trilogy or saga?

Many people may say that their favourite movie trilogy is The Godfather, but not me.  Don’t get me wrong those movies are great and definitely classic, but my favourite movie saga of all time is Jaws.  I really like all 4 of the Jaws movies but over the years as technology advances and cast and crew members decide not to take on the next project the movie has moved away from being thrilled by suspense to being thrilled by terror.

I admit there is something terrifying about knowing that the killer shark is under water but not being able to see it.  But I love a good shark attack scene and Jaws 4 has one of the best shark attacks that I have ever seen.  The shark emerges from the water and bites a woman right off a banana boat.  It’s really great.

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.
