Things haven't been great since the pandemic but I'm still sitting at more than 1k profit (aggressive portfolio) after the $3 monthly fees for Acorns Investment, Spend, and Later. Now let me give you my scenario, I'm doing $10/week in recurring since last 3 years with a few one time investment of a moderate amount of money.
That is, if you continue to invest 5 dollars a month. ACORNS)) in speculation, you're most likely going to lose money even with the dividends. Now, if we take a flat 6% return (annual profit margin for an average Acorns investment portfolio, preferably Aggressive (source. Now, do you spend the least amount it would require to cover that monthly fee in a given month? Probably!! If you're doing $5/month for recurring, what you're really investing is $4/month as I assume you're just going to use Acorns investing (which excludes 'Spend' and 'Later' and newly added 'Early') which requires a fee of a dollar per month.

THe advantage over putting the money aside (I assume you mean in a savings account) is that long term, investing is much more likely to make you more money than savings account interest.Īlso, you can turn off roundups at any time in acorns. I personally don't think I can beat the professionals at their job. The advantage of acorns over the other apps is that it's virtually hands off and you're leaving it up to professionals to pick the investments. Getting a handle on your month to month expenditures will help you figure out how much a 3-month emergency savings is in dollars that other people are recommending. It's counter-productive, at least to me, to be investing when you are paying interest from debt, especially CC debt. Especially if you're not paying off your credit cards each month. Do this for a few months and get a handle on where your money is going. Literally put every single purchase into it. get Quicken and start tracking all your finances.
