Favorite Things: ING Orange
December 12, 2008
Desperate times call for desperate measures, or in your financial case, too-easy-and-effective-that-you’d-be-silly-not-to-do-it measures. I’ve got one word for you: orange.
I was first turned on to this little nugget of monetary sanity by an article posted on Ramit Sethi’s Blog, I Will Teach You To Be Rich. When I looked further into the ING Orange savings program I truly found no down side–and that’s a rarity for any service in general, much less a service offered in this recession.
So if you haven’t already check it out. It has great interest rates, no fees and is super easy to manage online. And what better way to start out 2009 than by making the effort to store away a little cash for a down payment on a house or that sweet new mint green Vespa you’ve been eyeing?

Marilyn – Also check out Smarty Pig. (www.smartypig.com) They are awesome. 4% interest on savings accounts and no crappy fees.
How it works: you set a financial goal and a date. They automatically transfer $XX each month into your Smarty Pig account so that you’ll reach your goal on time.
Note – I have no affiliation w/ Smarty Pig… they’re just really cool people.
