We have been researching this ever since I read about it on your blog. We heard great things from people putting money in, but for those using it more often, ING was actually closing their account. I will be interested in reading how things go once you increase your usage with ING. I will be interested to know how things go once you start using you ING account more.

First of all, I am still alive! I am just working on some side stuff right now so the blog has been on the back burner. I am really trying to make some extra money to put into savings :) Looks like you are headed in the right track and speeding the fast lane with your savings plan. You go girl! I wish I could save that much per month. Well, I just wanted to let you know I still stop by everyday and I will talk to you later :) Hey Girlie!

For us there is only a $1 hold for gas purchases with our card. I didn't like using the credit card because the bill came due in a different month than when we purchased the gas so it messed up the budget. Living on $1,800 is impressive. We pay more than that in rent! (don't think we are living in a mansion, it is a 3 bdrm townhouse!) I would check with your bank about the debit card.

When we built up our emergency fund, we found our bare-bone monthly expenses- bills, groceries, gas, plus payments we HAD to save for like car insurance & car registration, to come out to $1800, and that's the number we based our emergency fund off of. When my husband's laptop died recently, we decided to hold off buying another one & go down to one computer until other priorities are taken care of. So far, so good. We DO use our ING Direct account as our main account, for the most part. The only money in our brick-and-mortar account is what we need to cover bills and gas. Everything else sits in ING making interest, or is withdrawn for our "envelope system" This is what works for us.
