Wow!
Jordan and I have put away $2500!! Since we started saving in February, 2009. We've also have $6 in interest - so grand total $2506, which is 7.16% of $35,000.
Currently the interest rate is 1.35%, we started at 3% - unfortunatly it's gone down. However; eventually we know it will go back up. At the current rates, and current savings plan ($150/bi-weekly alternated by Jordan and I) ING figures we'll reach our goal by May 2013.
As jordan and I get raises, and additional monies - we plan on increase our contributions. But for now - this works for us.
Hurray!
