Double Income, No Kids

Excellent feedback from last week where we covered the financial issues facing you when you’re young, free and single. So what’s next? Well, for many of us, there comes a time when our lives become entwined with another person. As you start to plan your lives together, your finances also become linked to a greater degree or other, and this brings challenges and opportunities unique to this life stage

Even though I’ve called this session DINKYs, with a ‘Y’ for no kids YET, I originally had it as just double income no kids. But let’s face it lots of couples decide not to have kids, or never have them for other reasons, and this session will be relevant those who never have children, as well as to those who plan to, but aren’t there yet.
