That ING Thing

December 2nd, 2006 at 07:20 am

This is, I think, my 5th entry today, do go and read my SheRa post if you must pick and choose, it has a lot to say in a spending way.

I read on someone's blog that ING has gone up to 4.5%, cool. I went to check my account and I have earned 98 cents for the month of November, bringing the total in that account up to $276.38. I have earned a total of $1.38 in interest beyond the $25 bonus, since I opened the account in October.

I did notice a few people asking around for referrals to ING in some of the blogs. I have some, so if you want to leave a reply to this entry I can send you out one. I only ask that you are serious about opening the account as I don't want to waste them.

I have been lax about transferring money from my CU to ING, I kept planning on it, but never did, so tonight I got on the ball and transferred $250 on over. Procrastination loses me interest, so I really need to stay on top of that whole thing.

I think I will be setting up an ING account for DH next payday so I can get the $10 referral for me and the $25 for signing up into his account. Right now we want to keep a certain amount of cash in the brick and mortar CU so I haven't done it yet.

I think some of savings may have to go into a car repair. My goal is to not let savings dip below $1000, though. There's a cable or bunch of wires that are hanging down under the front dash and I keep bumping them with my foot when I brake, so whatever is going on with that needs to be fixed and then the check engine light is on, though I think it may just like to be on. They couldn't find a reason for it at Midas last time I had it in for brake pads, but I'll check with the dealership when I get the wires put back where they are supposed to go.

    Unused invites - you invite someone and they don't take you up on it within 30 days - come back to you.

    My check engine light was on too and they wouldn't passed my car for inspection. It turned out I needed a new Oxygen sensor, among other things. It was pretty expensive 480.00. I hope that is not your problem.

    I finally got my check engine light fixed & now the airbag light won't go off. There are little people living inside my dashboard I think.......changing stuff around all the time!

    This vehicle is a 'special needs' vehicle.........whenever I signal to turn left, the wipers come on! I've just got used to it.........although I look really stupid in the summer!

    Ima--the minimum for the $25 bonus is $250. If you don't want the bonus, you can just open an account with $1.
