Not that I am trying to advertise for them or anything, but I love my ING account. Gotta love that interest rate. Of course there are other internet banks offering the same or higher interest rates. I liked the ING interface. My only problem now is that I have the bug and I get impatient with myself, wishing I could pay down the last of my remaining debt quicker. I COULD pay it off, but I do like to take the kids on a vacation each year (using the cash from refund). As it is, I am applying more towards debt than I am savings, but as this summer goes along, that trend will start to reverse itself. BTW, if anyone is interested. I saw this on Suze Orman's show. There is a TDAmeritrade account that you can sign up for that is called Plan 170. You put $50 a month in for 12 months. That money is put into a standard money market account and is supposed to draw 4.5%+ interest. You can pull out at any time, but if you put in $50 "every month" for 12 months, on the 13th month, Ameritrade will put in $100. Only downside for me is that I have to send an electronic transfer each month instead of doing a DirectDeposit from work. I figure I drink $50 worth of sodas each month, so what the heck. But PLEASE, investigate these things for yourself before entering into anything. I only mention them to demonstrate how I have caught this savings fever and offer details in case anyone else is interested.
