Where to put my money for buying a house?

The T-Bills look interesting so I might look into those more too. Just depends on how lazy I am (answer: very).

That's the beauty of the system. Thanks to Treasury Direct, you do have to get off your duff and mail in one form. After that, though, you can do everything online. I think we have something like 20k or so in T-Bills. Everytime I get around to checking ING and see that it has topped 1k I go order another bill from the next auction (ok, really it is whenever I check the account it is is over - tends to be a 2k or so).

Yeah, T-Bills are a great investment choice for those who are risk-averse or for those who want a small but guaranteed gain. In this situation, T-Bills would work quite well for you, since you can't afford ot lose a lot, and want some type of growth.

As with anything, the potential for return is directly proportional to the level of risk, so it's best to keep that in mind when considering the different investing otions open to you and the scope of what you're trying to accomplish.

Per the ING website.... here's the deal for getting the $25. They used to not have a minimum deposit so that part must be new....

"If your friend opens an account with at least $250, we will deposit a $25 bonus in their new account and a $10 thank you bonus in your Orange Savings Account. If 25 of your friends or family each open a new account with at least a $250 initial deposit, you will earn $10 each up to $250."

I'm willing to also send you a referral so you can get your $25.

If you have another code, I'd appreciate it. (and you get another 10 bucks?)
Thanks,

Ben
