Saw this on social media last week. Its a posting asking the question “what would you do if you won the lottery”, so its got me thinking. I really don’t believe I’m going to win the lottery because I don’t play, but I’m curious to see what dinks readers have to say.

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.
