I just got the check for my deductible in the mail from when a truck hit my parked car in a parking lot!  Yay!  I got my $250 back!  I knew I would get the whole deductible (I wasn’t even in the car when it happened) but I didn’t know how long it would take.  It took… a while.  But whatever.  Yay!

This changes a few things.  I took that money out of my emergency fund to pay my deductible, so it is going back into my emergency fund.  This brings the emergency fund total to $900.  So, my $216.57 surplus from last month, I only need $100 of it to get my emergency fund up to $1000!  So the remaining $116.57 will be snowflaked to Capital One on Friday, over and above my minimum payment and any other snowflake earnings I have this month.  YAY!  This is so exciting!  I feel like I am making some real progress now.

Now the hard part will be waiting until Friday when my spouse gets his first August paycheck to get the ball rolling :).

Thanks to the person who used one of my ING Direct Savings Referral links last night! My daughter’s college account thanks you for the $10 bonus!

I still have two more referrals left up at Blogging Away Debt, so if you’re looking for a referral to earn $25 when opening an ING Direct Savings account with an initial deposit of $250 or more, head on over and check it out. :)  One of my kids’ college accounts will get a $10 bonus when a referral is used.  Thanks!  And thanks Tricia for hosting my referrals!

Thank so much Tricia and Happy savings!

Today someone used link #3 to open an ING Direct savings account and get a $25 bonus with an initial deposit of $250. So my son’s college account got a $10 bonus. Yay!

Thanks so much to the three people who used my links. It is other people’s turns to benefit from the link love and at some point it will be my turn again. I can’t wait :).

Thanks Tricia for hosting my links and thanks to the three people who opened ING accounts! Happy savings!

Tricia at Blogging Away Debt has been hosting some of my ING $25 referrals since she used up all of her own. I got an email just now that someone used another one of my referrals, which means they got $25 and my daughter’s college account got $10. Thanks so much to whomever opened an account with my referral and happy saving!

I still have one more referral listed on Tricia’s site, if you open an ING Direct savings account with an initial deposit of at least $250, you will get a $25 bonus in your account and I will get a $10 bonus (deposited to my son’s college account). So if you’re thinking about opening an ING Direct savings account, check it out!
