Anyway that's up in the air for now but what we want to do is set aside a certain amount of money each month into an account that we won't touch and will give a good rate. A friend of hers mentioned ING.

Seams like a good rate but is there anything you guys would recommend?
We're looking to put ~$300/each out of our paychecks every month so ~$600/mth is going to be put aside. Then we figure in a year and 1/2 or so we'll have enough to make a decent down payment on a house.
Draw up a partnership on the house for joint ownership and spell out all the details. Keep your savings separate until you get married if you get married. Sorry for the cynicism.
