Each week (give or take one or two here and there) I share three things I like – It could be a book, a movie, a podcast, an album, a photo, an article, a restaurant, a food item, a beverage, or anything else I simply enjoy and think you might too. You can find a whole pile of things, especially books, I like and recommend HERE.
1) Acorns
I have shared this one before, but here it is again because I still use it and still appreciate it. I am not a financial whizz of any kind, but I have some sense of the wisdom and benefit of investing money for the future and putting it to work to grow in value. I have been using Acorns for a few years now and find it really helpful for someone who wants to set aside money in investments but isn’t educated enough or rich enough to get deeply into the market. It is as automated as you want it to be (helpful for novices) or you can be more hands-on. You can give direction what kind of portfolio (small business, growth stocks, conservative, aggressive, etc.) and you can customize it to your preferences as well. They have built out their offerings in rrecent years so you can set up accounts for your kids or set up retirement accounts too. For a beginner investor who just wants to put your money to work Acorns is great.
