Happy Friday DINKS. It’s the beginning of August and I for one am enjoying summer.  I recently signed up at a health club and gym.  Every week I try to swim laps in the pool, sit out on the lounge chairs in the sun and take advantage of the eucalyptus wet sauna.  I also take a zumba class on Mondays and a Yoga class on Wednesdays. That’s at least 4 times a week that I hit up the gym to relax and enjoy myself. Paying $47 a month has so far been my best purchase of the summer…after the 6 dresses that I bought for only $100 when Nick and I went on vacation to Niagara Falls.

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.
