Timing belt???
Every morning when I start my car, I hear this squeaking noise, like when you're turning a wheel with no oil, as soon as the car warms up it goes away, is this a sign that I might have to change the timing belt??

Yeah, but it could also be your AC compressor...
try starting w/o the AC on and see if it still happens. If it does, try pushing on the belt and see if there is a lot of play. But at 73k you should probably replace the timing belt soon anyway.

push the ECON button and see if it quiets down...
I'm saying this because my compressor makes noise even when it is cold and I don't have the ECON setting switched on. Just a wild shot.
I'm thinking that it is not the case and the aux belt itself is slipping on start. If your timing belt was slipping you would know it b/c something very bad would happen. Search the forum regarding mileage of timing belt changes. You are about due anyway.
