Good morning Dinks and Happy Friday. For those of you who could make it, I hope you all had a great time in St. Louis last week for FinCon.  Unfortunately I couldn’t make it this year, but the other members from Team Dinks were present, so I hope you got a chance to meet them.

I want to live vicariously through you all, please share your favorite moment from FinCon13.  I definitely want to hear all about it.  I saw some posts on Facebook and some pics on Twitter and it looks like everyone had a lot of fun.

Please share – what was the best part of FinCon13?

Have a great weekend Dinks.

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.
