ING Offers Social Networking Site: We, The Savers

The news is in: Black Friday sales were up 3% this year. Obviously, there is still a lot of spending going on. It doesn’t have to be that way. But savers may need some moral support as resolutions to save money and get out of debt fall to the wayside in the throes holiday shopping enthusiasm.  ING Direct has a solution.

You can find mutual support for your savings habit at the new We, The Savers website. This site is designed as a social networking tool. According to a press release I received from ING Direct:

The website features savings calculators, social networking and online polls. The website also encourages Americans to give the “gift of savings,” which, unlike the newest gadget, actually appreciates in value over time. The “gift of savings” can also help recipients reach their personal New Year’s resolutions.

This is actually a very handy website. You can figure out how to maximize your savings, as well as connect with other who can help keep you on track. Instead of spending this holiday season, sign a declaration of savings. It’ll be better for your personal finance situation than spending yourself into debt.
