I’ve been hearing about Acorns for a couple of years. I will probably sign up for it in a couple of months. I have to do a little more research on it first,

I’ve heard of a couple of these; thanks for sharing. Sadly as an Australian I don’t think we can get any of them (yet). Hopefully soon :)

Are these apps just for the US? I’ve not heard of them before. They sound really helpful though! :-)

Although my upcoming suggestion isn’t for everybody (it’s not an app) but you can also automatically have money saved with a Charles Schwab Investor credit card.

Instead of paying a 1% cash reward on all purchases, they automatically put the 1% in you Schwab investment brokerage account.

Obviously you need to be a Schwab customer & a responsible credit card user, but I thought it’s a unique reward option to help save money similar to Acorns without any fees.

Acorns is a personal favorite of mine. It has been performing well, pays dividends and I get no fees as I am a student. I think of it more as a savings account than investing though, just higher interest :). Heard a lot about digit but don’t want to download it until I start working.

I keep wanting to try Digit but I’m afraid it will take some of the money away that I need since I tend to budget very strictly, haha. I like how you can transfer money back to yourself and put savings on autopilot though.
