562867117_48bc3d9b3c_zHappy Friday Dinks.  I need some help.  You know I love our new apartment.  I really do!  But we’ve been here a month and a week now and IT’S COLD.  I need some tips on how to keep Nick and I from freezing into icicles – and it can’t involve turning on the heat.  We are paying for hydro now which includes electricity, hot water, heat and A/C.  Our first bill for the first 16 days we lived here was $65 and we didn’t turn on anything, that was just basic electricity consumption.  YIKES!

Maybe it’s because we have hardwood floors maybe it’s because we have a brick wall or maybe it’s because we have old windows.  I’m honestly not sure.  All I do know is that we’re freezing and I need some money saving tips on how to stay warm.  Please Help!

Enjoy these posts from our friends.  Have a good weekend Dinks.

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.
