Happy Friday Dinks.  I have a question to ask, are you taking a vacation this winter?  We don’t have kids and we’re not in our teens anymore so we won’t be celebrating spring break.  Even so do you still feel the need to go on vacation during the winter months?

I like to take a long weekend trip just before it gets too cold, but last year I didn’t since we moved October 1st.  However now I’m kind of feigning to get away, even though it’s cold.  I don’t want to spend thousands of dollars on a winter vacation but a few hundred on a long weekend to New York City might be a good idea.  What do you think?

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.
