Happy Memorial Day Weekend!

I’m excited to announce that my twin sister and her husband are putting their place up on the market this weekend. They live in a perfect DINKs place in a great neighborhood in Portland, Oregon. Previously DINKs, they’ve enjoyed their place as DIOKs (Dual Income One Kid) for the last couple of years and are now planning to upgrade to DITKs (Dual Income Two Kids)!

If you live in, or have friends, in Portland please pass this on to anyone who might be interested. If you don’t live in Portland, you can drool at what $274,900 can buy you in the beautiful Pacific Northwest!

Attractive and energy efficient home right across from Arbor Lodge Park. Full of original character & features. Hardwood floors, tiled fireplace, French doors, original millwork. Beautifully landscaped with native and perennial garden, pleasant backyard with covered patio. Many mechanical upgrades. Low energy costs from full insulation, new windows, efficient furnace, & more.

Live a low-carbon lifestyle in this fully insulated energy-improved home. Leave your car at home with a bus, lightrail line and New Seasons market nearby. There are plenty of restaurants and coffeeshops too. Enjoy free time on the large patio or in the 9-acre park next door. Arbor Lodge is a hot neighborhood, with tremendous appreciation in recent years.

Enjoy the long weekend!

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.
