Maybe this will motivate me to get this done faster? Progress so far: paying my rent for the first time from ING; filling out a form for transferring Direct Deposit to ING (though I may need to get them to send my employer a paper check, I’m not sure).

Yet to do: find out that my rent was successfully paid; get the Direct Deposit forms set up and turned in; transfer my automatic utilities bill payments to draw from my ING account; set rent payment up as an automated monthly payment.

It doesn’t sound hard. It just hasn’t happened yet, after a month or two of saying I’m going to do it!
