This week DINKs will share tips on frugal travel – whether free or reduced.

Now while we DINKs are known to be frugal, this doesn’t mean that we have to rough it. We’ve both experienced days as back packers with nights on buses and trains, not to mention train stations, to save a buck. These days we’ll admit to being hotel snobs.

We’ll share tips on how to:

  • Get free travel guides
  • Maximize your frequent flyer miles
  • The best of hotel rewards
  • Talk your way into free rooms
  • Cruise for free
  • Trade your skills
  • Couch surf
  • Shop for your friends
  • Design your own tours
  • Drive cross-country
  • Go farther on less cash

Our tips wouldn’t be complete without the tried and true backpacker tips from those who have been there, and done that.

Enjoy fabulous tips all week long! Trust me, there’s something for everyone – unless your version of travel is the only on the Discovery Channel!

Safe Journey!

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.
