Debt, Budgets and Failures, get out of debt, dealing with debt, budgeting

Good morning Dinks.  It’s Friday and we’re another week closer to Christmas.  Are you getting excited yet? I am.  I love the holidays, everything about the holidays from the smell of Christmas trees and eating cookies to spending days in my pyjamas and binge watching Netflix.

I know some families celebrate the holidays with a big ol’ fancy party where everyone has to dress their best.  Nick and I are more of a be comfy only get dressed if someone is coming over type of couple.

How do you celebrate the holidays?

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.
