Co-author Shawn is a new daddy!

My BFF Shawn and his wife are the proud parents of baby Ava as of yesterday evening. His wife was in labor for a grueling 18 hours (1am to almost 7pm) and eventually had to do a C-section. Both the mother and baby are healthy and doing well, and Shawn didn’t faint (or at least he won’t tell me).

If you’d like to contribute to the baby fund AND earn yourself a free $25, you can hop on over to my ING Referrals page to open an ING Direct Orange Savings account. The minimum to open is $250, but you get $25 bonus cash instantly upon creating the account (as long as you’re not a current customer). There’s no minimum balance required on the account, just the $250 to open! And since the referrals are from Shawn, he earns an extra $10 for each account opened!

As Shawn was writing the article Caveat Emptor: Buyer Beware, his wife’s water broke and he rushed her off to the hospital. Luckily, the hospital has free wi-fi, so he was able to finish the article and a couple others. You’ll be seeing them posted over the next few days, along with a number of other guest author articles.

Congratulations Shawn!
