Happy Friday Dinks. This weekend is BlogHer’13 in Chicago and unfortunately this year I wasn’t able to attend.  I absolutely love attending conferences to learn about blogging as a business. Last year I attended BlogHer in New York City and The Financial Blogger Conference in Denver.

They were both totally awesome. New York is a lot closer to where I live and it was a lot more affordable to visit for the weekend than it will be to go to Chicago. I just couldn’t justify the expense to Chicago this year – especially since we just got back from our couples vacation in Niagara Falls.

I have never been to Chicago and I really want to go, mostly for the conference, partly for the pizza and a little bit because I heard Chicago is an awesome city.

What is your favourite city in the world?

Enjoy these great posts from our friends this week and have a great 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.
