Acorns

I started using this app a while ago. I'd like to share the pleasant experience I've had with them.

Acorns is an investment portfolio that is simple to use, and easily accessible via your App Store. It takes about ten minutes to sign up, link your bank account, and get started.

Acorns hidden gem is their round-ups. The app will monitor your daily spending and round your spare change up to invest with. For example, if you make a purchase of $3.75, Acorns will take the remaining $0.25. After your round-ups total $5, they will withdraw from your bank and start investing the spare change.

You can invest without even thinking about it. There are also options for weekly automatic deposits seperate from your round-ups. Acorns will setup a portfolio based on your goal, whether it be a short-term investment or long-term.

Hope this can help some beginners or even pros begin to dabble with the power of investment. These passive investments are extraordinarily beneficial and even more so when starting at a young age.

 

How much have you made from them so far?

How much money have they took from you to invest with? and how many transactions did it take them to get that amount of money?

 

Do we get a choice of what to invest in or do they do it all for us? o.o
