    Robinhood gold member since 2021 and it’s been amazing. Been paying 5 a month since then but now the reduced priced of 50 a year makes it even more of a steal. Awesome video. Glad I don’t use acorns
  • @eldersprig
    2 related videos at basically the same time. Yay!
  • Robinhood is good for just trading. Acorns is good for banking and checking. The apy for checking and savings is almost unmatched 3% checking 5% savings is fire.

    Getting this setup in Acorns is super clunky. The non Might Oak checking dosn't qualify for the fee waver with $250 direct deposit. So I have to wait 2 weeks to make sure my DD doesn't go into the old checking I need to close. After that I'll close the account, open the new Might Oak checking and wait another two weeks for the DD to get setup, meanwhile I'm getting the monthly fee charged while this whole process takes place.

    I don't understand how RH IRA match works. I was thinking I would just start a new IRA over at RH because my one at fidelity is regrettably locked in with Fidelity branded TDF's. So with that in mind, do i need to deposit $7000 lump sum in order to get the 3 % match or can I pay into it month to month this tax season. Im only confused because of that transfer/roll-over deal that RH also had sounded like a lump sum deal.
  • Let’s end the war believe we would love to see a results on going with acorns and then going with choosing your own stocks to see the gains dividends and see if one is worth it. Only thing I will say for negatives is with other apps like robinhood you have to constantly move money or split the money when adding to different stocks acorns does it for you without you needing to play around do math on splits.
  • @irbe2091
    How long does the 1 % match last? Is this a 1 year thing or does this last forever
  • @roce6296
    Does Acorn IRA match any amount I contribute to my later account?
  • @yourmanzach2307
    i love the M1 finance layout, just wish they had a 1% match for free!
