Good morning Dinks and Happy Friday! Today is my boyfriend Nick’s birthday.  When I first started thinking of ideas for his birthday gift I really wasn’t sure what to get for him.  I mean after all what do you buy for your boyfriend after 14 years? But then he did something that he never actually does…he gave me a hint as to what he wants for a birthday gift?

After reading about Nick and our relationship here on Dinks Finance for almost four years can you guess what I bought him for his birthday gift this year?

Let me give you a crash course in Nick: he’s in his mid 30s, he works in computer programming, he loves sports – probably more than he loves me – and he’s over six feet tall.  OK so what do you think I got him?

Here’s a hint: It’s related to his profession, but he won’t use them at work.

Tell us on Twitter @dinks_finance or leave a comment below and tell us what you think Nick wants for his birthday.

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.
