Hi All,

Its Monday and Miel and I are both busy taking are of business, so there isn’t time to get our usual wonderful blog posting together. In the meantime, there are couple of news items you might consider checking out if you’ve got some spare time.

First, the Sunday Washington Post had a great article on one journalists story of getting out of debt.

Second, I just had to pass this along to our readers. If you haven’t seen this story in the mainstream media, you should check it out. Supposedly this guy from Kazakastan named Aleksey Vayner applied for a job at an investment banking firm in New York. Apparently his application was plagiarized and the video he sent was so cheesy, its has quickly gone viral on the internet.

The story has nothing to do with personal finance, but its too good to miss. See what Gawker, The Daily Reel and Wikipedia have to say about the guy.

Enjoy reading and have a great monday.

Best,

James

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.
