It’s the last Friday in May and tomorrow June starts. What are your plans this summer Dinks? Nick and I are planning a trip to Niagara Falls and I can’t wait. The last time we went to Niagara Falls was almost five years ago, my how our lives have changed since then.

When you say it – five years – it seems like such a long time ago but I remember our last trip to Niagara Falls as if it was last week. Think about your life five years ago – is it completely different now? A lot can definitely change in five years.

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.
