It has occurred to me in my recent travels that while our blog may be focused on finances, it is really all about creating possibilities. It’s about doing more with what you have, and creating abundance in your life. I believe that by taking control over your finance life you also create a freedom that isn’t possible otherwise.

For me our blog has created the possibility of:

  • Creating a forum to discuss financial pitfalls and successes with my husband;
  • Focusing on goals and going after them;
  • Touching lives around the world. Check out our world hit map on the left navigation bar and you’ll see how many hits we’ve had in just the last three months. Seeing this inspires me to keep creating new content;
  • Being accountable for how I handle my finances. Our blog creates an atmosphere where we share our challenges as well as achievements. This keeps me in check to be straight about how my actions affect my overall goals.

While James & I will continue to focus on finances, we hope that you are able to take our insights to areas beyond your financial lives.

Enjoy,

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.

7) Diversify. Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
