Good morning Dinks.  It’s Friday October 11 and Happy Canadian Thanksgiving to all our friends up north.  I wish that I could tell you I was on my trip in Washington D.C. right now, but unfortunately that is just not true.  And no I don’t want to talk about it.

I hope you all have a great weekend. Enjoy these posts from our personal finance friends.

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.
