There is a lot written about how couples can get along financially on the net.  There is so much in fact that it is sometimes hard to find good resources on how couples can get along financially.

To help you cut through all the junk on the web, here are several of the best resources we could locate.

1. Finance Guru Suze Orman did a pretty good interview on Oprah.com. Her advice: communicate, communicate, communicate.

2. Loren Berlin at the Huffington Post has some thoughts about how to avoid fighting over your cash.

3. Money Management International has a whole ebook devoted to love and money. Clicky here. Most of their guides are about basic money management for individuals, but there are sections on getting integrated as a couple and dealing with divorce.

4. Scott Reeves from Forbes argues you should have a pre-nup.

5. Cameron Huddelston over at Kiplinger has a nice little round up of financial mistakes couples make.  Here is a hit, its probably not a good idea to spy on your partner’s credit or lie to them about how much you spend shopping.

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.
