How Would You Like to Save?

I have been saving money for about a year to get ready for my trip to Mexico, and it hasn't been easy. I wish I would have known about the many options that WaMu has for saving money. It's really cool. You can open an Online Savings Accounts with Wamu for as little as $1.00! I've never heard of something so cool. Plus you can access you money with a debit card. They also have a savings service called Statement Savings. With this service, you get the same rate no matter how much you deposit, and you can open this account with as little as $5. Then there's getting a traditional, an online cd, or a liquid cd. Getting a CD is the best way to save if you know you can put your money away for a while, because you get a higher interet rate. The traditional CD lets you lock interest rate for one month, or up to ten years. You can even improve your rate with a feature they have called "Bump Rate". I think it's very progressive of Wamu to offer such a variety in ways to save money, because that is something that everyone should do. Seems like they are a little ahead of the crowd.

That's so awesome. I had no idea that WaMu offered so many different savings account options. I wish I had known about that when I was saving money for my trip to India! I will definitely look into that! Thanks!

Thanks for the tips! That really sounds good. I'm wondering if I shouldn't start a savings account at WaMu. Good luck on your saving for your move to Mexico. And good luck with your schooling.
Thanks for the info on Wamu. ING is also a good place to save. It's an online bank, but it's FDIC insured and they offer great rates.

Hey All

Hi everyone! It's been a little while since I last wrote. Just wanted to catch you all up. I have been very busy with so much going on. Went to a couple of water parks and other places out of town. There is a water park in Caton Texas that is very nice and relaxing. Not too many people the, it's not too big. But you can have lots of fun. It is owned by Christians, so they play contemporary christian music all day, and the people are dressed in more than just a few strings. So, I think this water park is the most family friendly one I have found so far. It's called Splash Kingdom. So if you are ever in the area, you should check it out.

My New Smile

I am very excited. Yesterday, my braces came off, and I have a new smile. It feels so different and so much better. Maybe I will take a picture and put it up, so you all can see. I have to say my orthodontist did a nice job. His name is Dr Richard Herrscher, and his practice is in Athens, Texas. I highly recommend him for anyone needing orthodontic work done.

Glad To Be Back

Well, I am really glad to be back home to the US. I have been able to spend some time with my family and friends, and that has just been awesome. I still have to unpack, and catch up with lots of people and my voice is not 100% so I haven't really been able to talk about my trip that much. But, all that will be over soon. Right now Im just glad to be back.
