I had been saving for quite a few years, but only recently did I discover Acorns. This investment app has helped me save much more efficiently, yet the work it takes is like nothing. "Too good to be true" was what I thought at first, but I did my research and decided to give it a try. What I love is that Acorns has a code which gives you $5 to invest in your future right away. This is helpful for someone who is interested but still unsure. Acorns also works with companies that will invest in your future if you ever buy from them. Some of these companies are: eBay, Lyft, Uber, Forever 21, Sephora, Nike, TOMS, Airbnb, etc. So much to gain and nothing to lose, isn't it?
"How does it work?" you might ask. So after downloading the app, all I had to do was selecting how much and for how long I would like to invest, as well as how "aggressive" or "conservative" I am as an investor. I selected "aggressive" just to reap the most fruits of my labor. Then, my investment was distributed to different stocks and started working for me.
After just a month, my investment has gained over $7, which would have been $0 had it sit in my bank account. I could only imagine the gain after a year or several years from now, and remember that I did not have to do a thing! This simple tool shows me everyday the power of delayed gratification, an ability that I found helpful to become real-world professional. Not only that, Acorns will definitely help me save efficiently for medical school.
I hope you find Acorns and the code for $5 helpful. Regardless, start investing in your future today, because the little things do add up. Tomorrow, you will thank yourself! As always, I am here if you have any questions. Cheers to the new year and I hope your resolutions kick off :)
