About Half a Dink Lifestyle & Personal Finance
Who are we?
Welcome to Half a Dink, a website for DINKS, from the perspective of the half that does most of the cooking, cleaning, financial planning & vacation planning. Basically, the super half!
Yes, I called myself the Super Half! When you juggle several responsibilities including work and home, and enjoy doing so, you really should be applauded.
What I hope this site becomes is a hub for DINKs covering topics that matter most to me: food, wine, travel, and personal finance topics that matter to DINKs.
Travel & Adventures
The Hubby and I are passionate about food and wine and love travel destinations which mix beautiful scenery and unforgettable meals. We visit Napa, Sonoma and Carmel Valley often and just recently did a road trip to Paso Robles. We hope to share our adventures with you!
Cooking at Home
It was only when I started cooking during the pandemic that I really learned to cook. On those weekends I cooked for fun. I loved meals that took three hours to prepare. I enjoyed learning and applying new techniques and trying new ingredients and ending up with restaurant quality meals that would make my partner go for seconds or thirds. I'll share some pics and recipes of some of my favorite meals & recipes I'm just trying out!
Personal Finance for DINKs
I enjoy reading personal finance blogs, and just lately have been watching “I Will Teach You to be Rich” videos. I also love going to Retirement Calculators and seeing the range of responses of how I’m doing. My Hubby and I have always kept our finances separate. I hope to write about why I think this is important in some relationships.
Both Halves of the DINK
The Hubby and I have been together for over 20 years. We met in college and have been with each other ever since. As we’ve aged and our incomes have increased, we’ve now spent more time traveling, eating out and enjoying wine.
We’re not the same people we were 20 years ago, but as we’ve grown and changed throughout the years, we still love, appreciate, and are entertained by each other.
