$300
If you read my post on Tuesday then you already know about the 9 cents I earned in interest from my bank. If you haven’t read it then click here and check it out. Now let me tell you about some good news, I managed to save $50 a month for the first six months of the year and that means that I have $300 big ones. I am going to take that money and put it in my savings account and watch it………………just kidding. Seriously, I thought about opening a CD, buying stocks or opening an account with ING. I am sure all of us have seen those ING commercials advertising their Orange Savings Account with all those bills running around. They have a 4.50% rate that beats the measly 0.20% that my bank paid me. I am going to think about my choices and then decide for the one that is best for me. I work hard for my money and I expect my money to do the same. This would be used as an emergency only account, we all know those show up when we least expect them.
