Miel and I have the joint goal of attaining networth of $4,000,000.00 by the time we are both 65. Most of the calculations we’ve made on-line seem to suggest that we can do it.

Why 4 million? That’s approximately 1 million in today’s dollars, assuming that future inflation patterns behave similarly to past inflation trends.

Here it is:

A few notes:

* The real estate category includes both our home as well as an investment property of ours in DC. Even thought its slowed a bit, the market in DC in our neighborhood s still strong.

* Most of the collectables category contains commodities, mostly silver and gold.

* The bulk of the stock is three issues, Hansens Natural, an energy company and Dominos Pizza. I enjoy eating dominos and drinking hansens so I figgure both of these are pretty good investments. Also, gas prices aren’t going anywhere but up, at least in the short term, so energy is a good bet right now. There are a few shares of the Vanguard S+P 500 index fund in there also, but I didn’t want to clutter up the post, so I left that category out.

If you enjoy discussing stocks, feel free to drop us a line. We are always interested in discussing whats going on the markets!

Best,

James & Miel

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.
