Barbeque Friday

Good morning Dinks and happy last Friday in May. I hope you all had a great Memorial Day and now we can officially start enjoying our summer.  Some people think July 4th kicks off the summer but I think it’s Memorial Day.  Just think about it for a second.

Memorial Day is the first time we have a family barbeque and I think that kicks off the summer season.  Spending my weekends outside, firing up the barbeque and enjoying ice cold iced tea definitely means that summer is here.  Oh and it’s the first time all season that we eat fresh corn on the cob. I just love everything about Memorial Day weekend.

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.
