You don't remember that conversation we had on HAN that one day. It was about that thing. It was related to that other thing that we were talking about bringing to that show we were suppose to meet up and discuss our ideas about that other thing.

Yea........

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.

didn't read thread, but the best piece of advice I can give you is don't buy a house with your girlfriend. If you're serious about it, get married, then buy a house.

florida must be taking a big hit if that is possible. not saying its not. just seems so easy.
