ING Direct, one of the leading online banks has come up with a Declaration of Financial Independence. It's pretty cool. There are 10 "declarations" that you are making by signing it.

1. You will spend less than you earn.
2. You will build equity in your home.
3. You will take care of your money
4. You will defend your credit worthiness
5. You will ignore unsolicited credit card marketing
6. You will know the cost of your borrowing
7. You will invest for the long term
8. You will take care of the things you have
9. You will remember what matters
10. You will be heard

On the web site, the list above is explained. You can print it out. It's a cool reminder to have it in print.

As of this post, there have been 28,664 people who have signed the declaration. 28,665 with my signature.
