Good morning Dinks and Happy Friday.

It’s a short work week for all our American friends celebrating Columbus Day and all our Canadian friends celebrating Thanksgiving.

How did you enjoy your long weekend?

I got back from my week long trip in New York City and enjoyed five lovely days of rest and relaxation because I came home from New York with a killer cold.

That’s what I love about long weekends (and vacations) – no alarm clocks, no schedule and absolutely nothing to do if we don’t want to.

To everyone who is in St. Louis right now enjoying FinCon – I wish I was there.  Post lots of pics, I ‘ll be following your moves on Twitter.

Enjoy these great 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.
