Exploring how creativity, culture, and technology connect us.

I started investing my spare change with this service called Acorns and have enjoyed every minute of it. It is very satisfying to see your money grow. Especially money you don’t even notice going to investments

Here’s the ways I use Acorns and have had success with:

  1. Round-ups: I linked my most used credit cards to Acorns and it’ll round up every transaction to the nearest dollar. I also set transactions ending in .00 to round up $1 (a $3.00 transaction will round up and invest another $1 in my account)
  2. Recurring, Weekly Deposits: I chose something small enough that I wouldn’t notice it isn’t even there. I started at a meager $5/week and now I’m up to $10/week.
  3. Acorns Earn: I use any of the plethora of services listed on Acorns and earn cash back towards my investments. Examples I use a lot are Uber, Uber Eats, 1-800-CONTACTS, and Ticketmaster. There are plenty ways to make a few extra bucks for using services you would use anyway!
