Tightwad Tuesday: ING Direct

If you have been reading my blog for long, you know I am a fan of ING Direct. It is a safe, online bank, that has a much higher interest rate than brick and mortar banks. Even with the down economy, ING Direct has an interest rate on a typical savings account of 2.4% Since most investments are tanking right now, it is great to see such a nice interest rate on a savings account.

I also like ING Direct because money takes 2-3 days to be transferred. This means impulse purchases are much harder to process because your money is tied up. I have to stop and think about a purchase instead of buying the next greatest thing.
