We know that these days there is nothing but gloom and doom in the financial news. I thought we’d share with you a success story from our recently featured DINKs appropriate real estate.

Back in May we featured my twin sister’s place in Portland, Oregon. They put their place up on the market on Memorial Day Weekend and had an offer signed two weeks later.

They were also able to find their dream place and sign on it for a bit below the asking price. They’ll be all moved in less than two months from their initial listing.

While not everything moves this fast, keep in mind that anything is possible. Overall James & I are still waiting for the bottom to drop out before we consider buying any additional real estate.

Readers: If you have any real estate success stories we’d love to share some good news these days!

Cheers,

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.
