Good morning Dinks.  Can I ask you a question, do you spend more or less money on the weekends?

I’ve noticed that I spend way less money on the weekends because Nick and I usually just stay in.  I don’t have the costs of travelling to and from work or the costs of eating out at lunch and coffee breaks with co-workers.  That being said I spend a whole lot more on personal items such as toilet paper and paper towels because instead of being at the office 8 hours a day now I’m at home.

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.
