My Acorns account saves the day.

Recommended Posts

So I started an Acorn account last summer. It's an app that rounds up your debit card usage to the nearest dollar and puts it in a little investment account for you. I had it x2's my round ups and for most of the year had them taking out an extra $50 a month.

 

Little did I know it would come in so handy this month because of the shutdown.

 

We just withdrew $1000 from it to our checking. It's going to pay this months utilities and groceries.

 

Thanks Acorns!

Now we know why Fido was really put down. Blame the Governement shutdown.

What percent of that $1000 do you attribute to the roundup, 2X, and the $50/month extra?
