Unlike many of our peers (nobody we know personally, that is…) we’ve elected to pay for our wedding the old fashioned way: by saving for it! After we got engaged, we set a date for the ceremony which gave us plenty of time to save enough money to pay for the event.

Because we added some discipline to the process, we actually met our savings goals early and paid for the honeymoon to boot! We are happy to have been able to cope with cost overruns and lift the financial burden a bit from our families.

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.
