Weekly roundup: Sports, boyfriends and Formula One

Posted on June 6, 2014 - 12:35 pm by Kristina Tahnyak

Good morning Dinks and Happy Friday. I hope you all have great plans this weekend. I have been laying flat for three days because I hurt my back earlier this week. I will be taking it easy this weekend (and probably won’t leave my apartment) while Nick will be out at the Formula One race.

As you know my boyfriend is a big sports fan so needless to say having the NBA playoffs, Formula One, the French Open and the World Cup all in the same month is taking a toll on our relationship. I am looking forward to July!

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.
