Good morning Dinks and Happy Friday.  There are only 5 days left until Christmas and let me ask you a question, are you ready for what’s to come? If you have a big family the planning and the parties have probably already started.  But if you are like me then you are planning to spend the holidays quietly at home with your loved one.  That’s how my boyfriend and I will be spending our Christmas holidays this year – 5 blissful days of peace and quiet in the comfort of our own home.

Happy Holidays Dinks.  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.
