    @samuraikatana1منذ 3 سنوات My Acorns investment growth over the past year has been 35%. My only regret is I didn't have more to put in. Dave might wanna look into this a little more and revisit the topic. 475

    @jonathanfoster2263منذ 3 سنوات the misunderstanding here is you dont have to just put in spare change, you can put in as much as you want into acorns. They also have roth IRA's you can contribute to. I'm maxing out my acorn roth IRA 340

    @sterlthepearl1000منذ 2 سنوات Even if a home owners pays off their mortgage, they still won't own the home. Because in America, if you still don't pay your real estate taxes every year the state or county can foreclose on the home. 16

    @kbcinmedusnمنذ 3 سنوات I have the Acorns app and I can tell you that opting out of the nickel and dime investments is an option and you can basically just invest a larger amount id="hidden6" class="buttons"> recurring. The dividends start out a few cents a month but as your balance grows so does your dividends. Now I invest just the minimum $5/mo and get $7.50/mo in dividends so now I'm making some money off of it even though it's not much it is a relatively profitable amount. ....وسعت 122

    @Ninabeana1313منذ 2 سنوات You can tell he doesn’t know much about these apps, he’s become so far out of touch with the modern generation of adults investing. I think he needs to brush up on a lot of current ways people are saving. He’s been financially secure for so long, he has no idea what we’re up against in these times. Especially post Covid world, it’s awfully hard out there. Rent is insane and people need 3/4 roommates to even pay the bills!!! Jobs are getting away with letting people go that aren’t fully trained and perfect by 3 months. Unemployment/state programs are squeezing money back out of the poor people they just paid it to. It’s a very tough and different world out there. I think he needs to do some research about newer ways people are saving, it’s better to start small then do nothing at all!!! ....وسعت 27

    @barragan_musicمنذ 2 سنوات Here's the thing. I am people like me. And people like me wouldn't even be investing or even saving of it weren't for easy apps like Acorns. id="hidden10" class="buttons"> Not everyone is people like Dave. A lot of people are people me. (BTW this is why I don't like hearing the condescending comparisons. I'm only comparing me to the old me.) Gotta wonder why Dave doesn't encourage how to use a tool like Acorns properly.
    Nickels and dimes was a start. Then it wasn't enough. So I stepped it up, which you can do in Acorns. It's not a joke. It's better than I used to do. Now I'm debt free, and I have way more put away in various places than I have in my checking account, and it took a long time for me to even imagine something like that. I have a plan for growth. Thanks, apps like Acorns.

    @doducduy96منذ 3 سنوات I’m usually for Dave but he is so wrong on this one. It’s funny that this is coming from a guy who preaches “every dollar should have a name” and “best way to invest is automated investing”. A dollar consists of 4 chump changes quarters. 4 everyday transaction and a dollar is put into an automated investing account without you even notice it. And no the fee is not $3/month that’s the highest tier if you go with the base tier it’s $1 a month. I had a total of $4500 contribution in my Acorn account since 2017 and it now worths almost $7000. Last year my “chump changes” totaling up to $450 (now worth $580) or $37.50 average every month automatically invested for me, that’s 37.50% contribution of the “$100 a month from age 20 to age 65 will make you a millionaire” talking point of Dave. I can’t believe Dave discourages Acorns it’s like the perfect piggy bank for the people that he wants to help. ....وسعت 21

My husband and I are great savers but I like acorns because each week I have them take $20 and put it in my acorns account. I empty it every 6 months. About $500 in June that we use for vacation for food, entertainment, fun money… About $500 in December for Christmas. It is not our only savings for vacation or Christmas but it’s kind of nice to use it like fun money or a cushion that I never miss. It’s like the cup of change but I never pay in cash so it’s earning me more than I would ever earn with change! ....وسعت 13

    @Freddyyyy266قبل 11 أشهر Started out with acorns but I use a better platform now.

I work as an account executive, and make over $20000. $10000 goes into dividends, and the other $10000 covers my food plus living expenses. I am seeing improvements in my portfolio, dividends look certain, but I have to attribute this to only to guidance of a licensed fund manager who allocates funds to a plethora of assets. I have to stay disciplined, and remember that I’m in it for the long term. Just got my first property and hopefully looking to get another down the road. Good luck to everyone and thanks for the great video. ....وسعت 37

    @gabrielzarzuela7735قبل 10 أشهر I understand his point of view. What he meant to say is that at the long run, investing those dimes and nickles you would normally put on Acorn, you should id="hidden33" class="buttons"> put it towards a debt or a higher compound of an already invested area. For example a savings account with 5k, 10k or 20k. A stock or fund with 5k, 10k+, etc etc.
    That doesn't mean Acorn is useless. It's just a matter of prioritizing your money
