mmmmm...beer 691 Posted January 20, 2019 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! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blame the Governement shutdown. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What percent of that $1000 do you attribute to the roundup, 2X, and the $50/month extra? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
