Indepence & Money...Yes Please!!!

Well I guess it has been a couple of money making and money saving days, so now what, celebrate?

While we all are going to celebrate the date of our Nations birth with cookouts, family and friends, but the running we are all doing will still continues. And this year their is much more to celebrate as well!!! ING Direct is offering reductions on their already outstanding offerings for everything from Savings, to Checking, to Home Loans, to Retirement & Investing with the year of that great day of American history, that's right, 1776!!!

This deal only goes on through for the next couple of days. But, I would urge you at least look at their options before deciding which one is right for you, but the Electric Orange Checking is coming with a $76 bonus. And I am in. Yep, seventy six beans in my pocket, just by adding a checking account to my normal checking account. Sure I have to make 4 purchases of any value with 45 days, but otherwise the cash will mine!!! ARR!!!! (Say it with me, like a pirate, ARR!!!!)

For me this also solves an additional issue. My former back was great, and I mean just great. Their customer service, their locations and their ability to work with a customer, were just great!!! Then around 9 months ago my bank was taken over by a new brand, with a different look, and a much different idea of what it really means to handle a customer. They have caused me nothing but grief, but this is not like a cable box that I can simply just cash it in, no, this is another of those "wins" we have spoken off, and important they are. When I originally signed up with my old bank, there were no fee, except for overdraft, but they would allow you have that charged reversed one time every year. This new bank however, has it completely wrong. Now, we are required to maintain a balance above $100 so to not have to incur a "cycling charge" Cycling charge? Does my Piper have a bike? And it so, how big is it? Non the less, every time you go under $100 limit the back charges you $15!!!!


So , thanks to our friends over at ING Direct, there is another game in town where the words free, actually mean FREE!!!

I hope you have enjoyed this post, and certainly hope you take the time to see it an ING Direct Option might not be a good option for you an yours!!!

I look forward to you replies!!!

Happy 4th of July!!!

And, and as always, thank you...The Runner
