    For the last two years I’ve used this as a savings account for Christmas gifts. The fact you get cask back going through their app, and being able to use their debit card for those purchases makes this a no-brainer! It’s so much better than a “Christmas savings club” at a bank.

    So I’m new to investing. I appreciate your advice because I just started with Robinhood and I am going to stray away and start with something smaller. I’m eager to learn but definitely overwhelmed with the graphs, and allll the information. I just want my money to grow, I’m 22, so I like to think I’m at a good start. I really appreciate the ending, where you said “do not turn on notifications for me bc I don’t want to interrupt your day” out of all these apps trying to take away our attention, you respect our time and just want us to learn from you freely. Which makes me want to give you my attention bc of you being genuine. I definitely subscribed!

    Solid info. As a beginner in my 30’s I found Acorns to be extremely user friendly and I do like how they promote long term. I started back in May and some people knock me for paying the $5 a month but honestly I have enough money in there working for me and the kids to not really even notice the monthly fee
    If it’s not already on your agenda would you make a video regarding “back door Roth IRA “ ?
