Good morning Dinks.  Happy Friday!  I hope you all had a lovely New Year.  This week was back to the grind for me after a glorious 12 days off.  I spent the holidays empting our last few boxes, watching Netflix and eating way too much chocolate.  It was good times.  Trust me on Monday morning it was hard to wake up to my alarm clock for the first time in two weeks and leave my apartment in -21 degrees Celsius which is -6 degrees Fahrenheit.  Yes that’s cold!

If you had some time off during the holidays I hope you had a good first week back to work.

Enjoy these posts.

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.
