Hey Gang. 

A quick note:  Keep an eye on the stock market.  It’s been too hot this year.  Especially last week.  I pulled my money out because I expect a market correction.  Meaning I expect the market to go down.  If we get a few days of heavy losses, I’ll happily re-buy the 2 shares of IVV I just sold last week @ $153.50.

So that’s my stock buying and selling strategy.  Pretty simple hey?

Can you believe we’re 28 weeks into the New Year already?  Let’s see where everyone stands:

Bronze Savers: $700 (saving $25/wk)
Silver Savers:  $1,400 (saving $50/wk)
Gold Savers: $2,800 (saving $100/wk)

How much have you saved?  Are you a bronze, silver or Gold Money Saver?  Not sure what this all means?  You read my post where I talk about it.  Or Start from the beginning with just $1.

As most of you know I’m a silver level saver.  I recently got a pay raise at my job so I’ll be moving up to a gold saver in the next week or so.  It’s about time and I’ll write about it soon.

Today I want to talk about your ING direct Online Savings Account.  You know a lot of people are asking me where you can get 6% on your savings account.  I’ve seen ads for this, but they always say “$25,000 minimum” or something crazy like that.  So my answer is yes and no.  Let me explain. (more…)
