How we do it

Save, Invest and Reinvest To Build Wealth

July 22, 2014 by James Hendrickson 8 Comments

It’s always astounding what a difference a few years of investing can make! One of the things my wife Miel and I have been doing is actively driving the process of how we build wealth by investing in stocks, saving aggressively (or not so aggressively) and self managing our real estate. Well, this long term investing appears to be paying off in terms of higher cash … [Read more...] about Save, Invest and Reinvest To Build Wealth

DINKs No Longer!

May 22, 2014 by Team Dinks 7 Comments

Yep, the original DINKs, James & Miel are about to no longer qualify for the status of DINKs. We are expecting our first child any day now and wanted to share a bit with our readers about the transformation. When we started DINKs Finance eight years ago, on the eve of our marriage, we were like many couples in their late twenties and early twenties. We really didn't know … [Read more...] about DINKs No Longer!

Tasty AAPL

April 24, 2014 by Team Dinks 5 Comments

We've been watching the rise of AAPL stock (Apple, Inc.) closely. Apple announced a 7-to-1 split coming up in June, and the stock jumped 8% today! The word on the street is that AAPL is poised for record growth on solid earnings. When I initially bought AAPL in July of 2011, James was a naysayer in that he felt the stock was too expensive. We've gone round and round about … [Read more...] about Tasty AAPL

We just took a big step in selling one of our rental properties. This was actually James' baby, which he purchased in August of 2003, four months before I moved out to Washington. This studio apartment, in the heart of Dupont Circle and a whopping 336 sq ft, was what we initially cut our teeth on for managing rental properties. Since then we've purchased two more rental … [Read more...] about Rental Property Sold!

Appliance Purgatory

February 4, 2014 by Team Dinks 2 Comments

appliance, broken appliance, rental properties

One of the realities of home ownership is dealing with repairs and maintenance, this is particularly true for managing rental properties. With our three rental properties, our own home, plus a vacation beach rental, we have more than our fair share of home maintenance. Even with all that we own, more often than not, things are pretty quiet. These last couple of weeks have … [Read more...] about Appliance Purgatory

How does money change you?

January 14, 2014 by Team Dinks 11 Comments

money, finances, money talk, personal finance

We were out at dinner the other night with a couple of close friends. We were discussing stocks, as we often do with this particular group of friends. When we noted that we had surpassed the Million Dollar mark, our friend commented how refreshing it is see that we've done so well for ourselves and yet still keep it real. James and I talked about this a bit on our way home, … [Read more...] about How does money change you?

Value of Travel Insurance

December 3, 2013 by Team Dinks 3 Comments

travel insurance, travel tips, travel advice

I travel all the time.  I buy plane tickets like other people buy gas.  Thus far I've been pretty steadfast in opting out of travel insurance, thinking it isn't worth the extra tack on in price.  Over the years I can't say that I haven't paid my fair share of fees for changes, the price to pay for travel. I am now a convert and vow to myself to always opt in for the … [Read more...] about Value of Travel Insurance

Change your Mind to Change your Life

November 19, 2013 by James Hendrickson 4 Comments

change your mind, mindset, change your life, goals

This week I’ve been reflecting back on a post I read on I will teach you to be rich.  The topic was regarding the classic line, “She should love me for who I am”.  Ramit shares about how friends of his are complacent to think that they can stay exactly as they are and still attract a good mate.  And, how readers of his have noted concern about changing if they were to become … [Read more...] about Change your Mind to Change your Life
