ING Direct Canada $25 Is Yours To Save Your Money
Save Your Money For more information see www.saveing.ca Do you always plan to save money but never do? Well I’m here to suggest a decent bank for opening a high-interest savings account. It’s called ING Direct. I’m sure you’ve seen a commercial or two on TV before. If not I’ll explain a bit. Due to the economy, the current interest rate at the time of this posting is 1.05%. There are no service charges and you can transfer the money right from your checking account when you get paid to go right into your ING Savings account. You can get a bank card but it won’t let you do any debit transactions. If you happen to need the cash at any point you can go to a bank machine and withdraw the cash from there with no charge from ING. One of the reasons they can afford to do this is because they are basically a virtual bank. They don’t have any branches with tellers that you can go in and do any transactions with so that cuts down on their costs. Check the bank you use now and see what they’re interest rate is and what type of charges you will incur for withdrawing if you happen to need some of it. Remember, ING’s rates fluctuate but it’s always higher than most banks. For more information see http As an added bonus they have things once in a while where they’ll tell you that if you put in at least $20 for three months, they’ll automatically give you another $20. They have a lot of contests for cash prizes just for setting up an automatic savings plan. It’s a good idea. Now there’s …
Please Help – I need advice about taking money out of a retirement account?
I am not sure where to begin but my husband and I relocated to Rhode almost a year ago. I have been trying to start my business here which has been terribly difficult. After seven months of constant seeking my husband finally found a job that is earning him less money than I made at my first job. Needless to say were are not able to cover our monthly bills and have gone through most of our savings. We have a first and second mortgage but no credit card debt. The only money we have available is what is in my husband’s 401k plan. We would never think of touching this but it is our last resort. Selling our house at this point will be disasterous. We were waiting to do this until we absolutely had to (the next month or two)but I am afraid with stocks falling if we wait that long we will lose money that we need to survive. If we are going to take this money out what kind of penalty do we pay?
Where should we put this money so we can access it as needed and still earn interest?
How should I allocate my money throughout the government’s Thrift Savings Plan funds?
I am investing for the long term (i.e. 30+ years) and want to know what people think is the best allocation of TSP funds for now and/or for the long haul.
Right now I put %50 in the C fund, %25 in S, and %25 in I. Obviously I’m willing to be aggressive but I’m also not averse to switching things around every now and then if it’s going to help me.
For those not familiar with the TSP:
C Fund = Large US companies (S&P 500)
S Fund = Medium and small US companies (Wilshire 1500)
I Fund = International Companies (Europe and Japan mostly)
I need some money and I was wondering if I can take out my money from my retirement savings plan from Fidelity?
I need to get my car fixed and i was wondering if I can withdrawl the 2500 dollars in there. If I can, do they tax it alot?
Save Your Money! ING Direct Canada – High Interest, $25 SignUp Bonus! Refer Others, Make $2000!
NOTE: THE FOLLOWING DESCRIPTION IS FOR CANADIANS ONLY NOTE 2: READ DESCRIPTION THOROUGHLY If you’re reading this article, the title has obviously sparked your interest. I’m sure you’ve come across ads like this all the time only to be more than skeptical. Well, I would be too if I were. In fact, I’m always skeptical. But let me tell you this… There’s a “virtual” bank, called ING Direct. They are virtual, meaning they have no branches with tellers for you to go see, it’s strictly online. Now, with this bank, they have high interest savings accounts. I decided one day to open an account because at the time, the interest was 3.5% and I’ve seen it rise to even 4%. Now, go to your local bank, and find out what their interest rate is on a savings account. I can guarantee it will not be that high. Unfortunately, due to the decline in the economy, the interest has lowered down to 1.5%. But either way, here’s the kicker… ING Direct’s high interest savings accounts have absolutely NO FEES. This means you are never charged a service fee by them. You can take your money out whenever you feel via online money transfer, or bank machine, without ever being charged a penny. This also applies to their new Checking accounts, which I’ve also opened an account of. Now look at your last statement and tell me how much your bank robs from you each month, hell, each year, just to spend your own money. I thought so. But there’s more… When I first opened my account, I wanted to start a real …
How long should you let 403(b) go losing money before you change investments?
I know that with a 401(k) and a 403(b) you have to ride out the highs and the lows over time but how long should you let your account go when it is losing money before you make a change to your allocations?
In the past 18 months I have contributed $5400 but the balance is only $5067 currently. Is this really bad or are other people experiencing similar losses? My financial planner told me I should go for ‘aggressive’ options because I have over 20 years until retirement but it is discourage to be going backwards. Does anyone have any advice on what I should do?
