Hello All,

Happy thanksgiving to you! Since Miel is in Afghanistan, I’ll be going over to a friends in Washington for a thanksgiving potluck dinner. In order to keep expenses and work down, my friend Danitza organized a chip in and bring your own food thanksgiving party. The main idea is that everyone chips in 40 bucks and brings a dish or two. This way nobody gets stuck forking over hundreds of bucks or slaving all day in the kitchen. If you’re single and stuck at home for the holiday’s its an appealing idea.

In the meantime – enjoy the cartoon and have a great thanksgiving!

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.
