ING Direct Savings Account...

I have a ING Direct savings account since the first of the year. I have seen examples of other savings accounts from banks yet I seem to be fond of this one.

Ever since the start of the year the APY has continued to rise. Now it is currently at 4.25% APY and seems to continue to rise every other month or so. Now I know it doesn't offer the highest rate at this time, I really do enjoy having a savings account with them. I like the web interface and it was very simple and easy to open my savings account I would reccommend ING Direct.

They currently offer a refer program if you open a account with the link you receive from me with atleast 250 dollars you will receive $25 dollars for free, with me earning $10 so if you are interested please contact me via email at trumayhem@gmail.com and I will send you the link to sign up.

Check it out here then email me if you want to sign up...

Everything Has A Beginning...

Well I thought I would start this blog to help kick start some interest of mine. Plus it will help me keep track of things I want to remember in the whole money world. Also allowing me to set goals and have some process to help me keep them along the way. Also hopefully with some of the few people who happen to come across this site can help with ideas and offer me some tips and suggestions.

Im currently in the process of gathering information about online brokers. I have yet to start a account with anyone and I am in the process of finding the right one for me. So I will probaly be focusing on that for the start of this.

I already have a checking account and I have established a savings account with ING. So accessible money and short term and mid-term savings have been started. Now its time to get long term savings started. My goal is to start a brokerage account before the end of this month. So with that said and this the beginning of my online finance journal I bid you good day.
