Good morning Dinks. Well this is it, the last Friday of September and October is creeping in.  With the change of a season – especially a colder season – comes all kinds of costs.  This time of year our heating bill gets high and we need to buy warm sweaters.

I don’t know what it is about the change of seasons but it just makes me want to shop.  As a former spender who was out of control I try to keep my spending to a limit or avoid the temptation all together.

How to you keep your home costs down?

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.
