Hello All,

I just wanted to give our readers a quick update. Miel and I landed safely in the Aloha state. For the past couple of days we’ve been visiting relatives, swimming, doing yoga and enjoying what Hawaii has to offer. For those of you who are Hawaii fans, we’re staying on the north shore of Oahu, which is famous for its big wave surfing and pristine beaches.

We don’t have much personal finance news to report, largely because we’ve been busy relaxing, but we did get an interesting stock tip yesterday. We’ve got a “connection” who is the “mutual fund industry” who says that Nintendo should do well for the rest of year, as sales of the Wii will likely remain strong. We don’t usually rumor monger – mostly because nobody shares rumors with us – but we thought we’d monger this one along for your enjoyment.

Greetings from Hawaii!

Aloha.

-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.
