Good morning Dinks. I hope you all had a great Christmas whether you spent it partying with family and friends or sitting cozy by the fireplace.  Are you going to partake in the after Christmas shopping festivities? I definitely have a few things that I need to get but I’m not sure if I should order them online from the comfort of my own home or save on the shipping and go out to the mall and brave the cold winter.

Are you shopping today?

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.
