BF and I have been planning on opening a savings account together for awhile, but hadn't gotten around to it yet, and had just been setting our money aside together in an envelope for now. We finally got it opened today, and what a good day to get around to it! They were having a Black Friday sale, $100 bonus for new savers! Since BF has never had a savings account with them he qualified! You do have to open it with a $1000 deposit to get that, but we just opened it with the $1000 and once it is available will transfer it back out. Our opening deposit was $235, + $100.00 bonus, so we already have $335! YEAH!

We also set up auto deposits on each of our paydays of $25. So our account will go up $100 a month.

Current Balance $24,600.00

Balance $24,935.00

Local Savings $1,100.00
ING Savings $23,500.00
Joint ING savings $335.00
Total Savings = $24,935.00
