I have finally made the decision to go ahead an pay myself first. I was already putting 5% of my pre-tax earnings into the 401k and putting another $50 per week into my kids 529 account so what is another $10 per week? I went ahead and opened an ING Direct Orange Saving Account with an initial deposit of $25. I immediately made a 100% return on investment because ING gave me a $25 bonus for signing up! Now what I should really do is take my original $25 out and just let the free money work its magic. That's acutally not a bad idea now that I think of it. Maybe I will open another ING account under my wife and get another $25 bonus! Then I will deposit $10 per week automatically into one of our accounts and watch it grow!
Decided to pay myself first...
