Too Busy To Worry About Investing? Acorns has made it extremely easy to help you invest behind the scenes. You do not need to do much or get too involved with this investing platform. After your initial set-up and entry into the market, you can pretty much leave your account to work for you. It works behind the scenes to invest your money into a custom built portfolio that works for your lifestyle and risk tolerance.  This mobile app has been a great tool for me to invest in the market daily. I utilize this app to deposit $5 each day into the market, no matter how the market is performing. Because of this, I am able to purchase into my portfolio when the market is down, meaning a lower cost on those stocks/funds. This allows for greater returns when the market corrects itself and returns back to normal.  There are plenty of reasons to use Acorns, and hopefully, I can explain why it is a useful investing tool for those that are interesting in investing but have been ...

Result From Monday - 11.12.18 It was a bank holiday today because of Veteran's Day falling on a Sunday. This means that I didn't have any money fall into any of these investment accounts today. I'm sorta sad about this because I had quite a bit queued up for today to purchase into these portfolios, and with today being a very down day for the market, it would have been nice to buy at a lower cost to me. However, if tomorrow goes even lower I will be a happy camper because I will be buying into them even lower which should give me greater returns later on.  Acorns M1 Finance Bumped

Results From Friday 11.9.18 We I kinda knew those 3 green days were too good to be true. These last two days of the week really took away from everything we had gained back this week. That's alright though because I'm still pumping $5 into Acorns daily so I'm just going to keep buying the funds "on sale". Not how I wanted to end the week but it could have been worse. Also, M1 Finance initiated my trade that would have been for the upcoming Monday to happen today because of Veterans Day in Monday and the banks not being open. So hopefully the transaction went through and I got some discounted funds within my M1 portfolio as well. Always look for a silver lining, guys! Acorns M1 Finance Bumped

Results From Thursday - 11.8.18 Well, we can't have a green week the entire week. That's okay though because the losses today can easily be made up. I'm sure the post mid-term hype is just starting to ware off and that's why we saw a little slump in the market. All market corrections take some time, I suppose. I am pleased with how quickly our Bumped account is filling up, though. The video I released a few days ago has gotten quite a few people talking about it and I think it will really help a lot of people get more from the purchasing they we're already doing. I can't wait to see what further engagement I get about it! Acorns M1 Finance  Bumped

Results From Wednesday - 11.7.18 I'm pretty sure this is the best market day post mid-term election we've had in about 30 years. I'm really close to being out of the red that I suffered from the month of October. Pretty soon I'll be back to all gains. Bring on the dividends. Acorns M1 Finance Bumped

Too Good To Be True? The sound of FREE stock rewards sounds almost too good to be true. I thought this as well when I first heard about Bumped, an app that rewards you with free stock in companies that you purchase from daily. Bumped is an app that allows you to link a credit/debit card within the app (or multiple cards) to get rewards back on purchases you make with those cards. I will be posting a video explaining how it works but I will also give a brief run-down in text form of how it works. In lieu of having to pay a lot to gain brand loyalty, companies are able to reward consumers with small fractional shares of their company. This is done simply by purchasing from that company. Say you make a $100 purchase from Walmart. You would get 2% of that purchase back in stock reward in the form of Walmart stock. So, in this case, you would get $2 worth of Walmart stock into your Bumped account. This may seem a little too good to be true but I have thought about it and I be...

Results From Tuesday - 11.6.18 Hey, it's election day and the market stayed in the green! I was actually really expecting the market to behave all crazy today considering there was "political stuff" going on in America. I'll take two green days in a row though, for sure! Acorns has managed to pass the $720 threshold and M1 Finance was almost up by $10 today. Bumped also made it to $20 total value. So it's been a pretty good day overall! Acorns M1 Finance Bumped
