The recipe to good personal finance is quite straightforward as you mentioed, its just that life gets in the way! In regards to savings accounts, I recently did a review of ING (vs HSBC) and while it is probably the easiest to use account, it has one of the lowest APY around. HSBC is about 0.5% higher, which can make a big difference in the long run. Discipline and control is the key to achieving any of the items you mentioned.

I was not aware of the lack of a POD or beneficiary application, and assumed something like that would be covered with a will. I still like ING and think they offer a great service that almost everyone can take advantage of. Gail,

However I may be changing my mind. Two years ago, I had cancer and leukemia and almost died. My will was set up, however ING does not have a POD (payable on death) or beneficiary application. Can you give me a reason now to hang onto ING? But yes, space your money out in other high yield accounts. I have been with ING Direct for several years and have always been happy.

I don't have accounts with ING Direct, but I do keep accounts at three different banks. Putting unexpected income to work is also extremely important: otherwise I think you just won't get ahead if you squander even those gifts. Yeah, I think you’ve covered all the basics here.
