I’m not sure if you still need more ING links, but I’d certainly be willing to provide you with some if need be…

I thought I left a message saying that I had referrals too. I didn’t get a message from you. :( And I check my spam filter very carefully…nada.

I would love to be included.

re: “do you save more than 10% of your salary?”

although i do feel i spend way too much, today i estimate am saving around 27% this year out of my income ($8800 to 401k this year, roth annual maximum [5k this yr], & ing savings acct for the rest). last yr was probably about 30% savings out of gross income ($7800 401k, roth max 4k, ing savings for the rest), but salary is different this year, and my % will change if my prediction doesn’t turn out to be right for the rest of the year (if income less, % will be automatically higher without changes to current retirement account allocations. same 401k & roth goals will be in place regardless. i plan to increase the savings if part of this year’s income increase continues [freelance gigs may continue. money owed to me paid back this year won't continue after total payback to me is reached midyear] in that case will pad the ing acct much more. maybe i should up the 401k too though….[no match]), but i do have an expensive [& educational] trip coming up.

figuring out these percentages is helping me be more clear on this year’s allocations!

thanks for posting the referrals, flexo. it’s a win-win for both existing ing customer readers and new ing customer readers! i am so glad more and more people are opening up savings accounts. especially ones like this which are slightly harder to spend needlessly (or at least will delay that a little…).

your comments on the water made me chuckle to myself.

I’m noticing that the CD’s I have set up on ING Direct are “paying” interest because I had set it up to distribute interest monthly, but had subsequently changed my mind. I’m wondering if the interest will in turn be compounded if the balance of the CD is showing that it’s increased since the account opened?

Thanks for the heads up Flexo! I wouldn’t have known you sent the email without this post of yours. I had to fish it out from my SPAM folder :(

Glad you mentioned it!
