I tend to spend far too much time messing around online.  This afternoon I came across a very cool website called usdebtclock.org and I wanted to share it for all the finance nerds on this site. USdebtclock.org is basically a super simple data aggregator that gives you a broad view of the economy as a whole.

It has sections on:

1. The national debt in real time, broken out by biggest expenditures

2. Workforce statistics

3. The money supply

4. National assets

5. Car sales

6. Wealth and Poverty (including the number of homeless and number of millionaires)

7. Money and banking history (here)

The site basically pulls data from a bunch of sources and aggregates them all into a single dashboard.

Check it out if you get a chance.  Its an entertaining little corner of the internet, and you might get a kick out of watching the numbers increase.

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.
