Thinking about checking out one of those micro-investing apps? They can be really handy to build a regular savings account or try your hand at investing some money on a smaller scale. You connect the app to your credit card, debit card or bank account and the apps round your purchases to the nearest dollar and funnel the money to an account that will build for you! Instead of having to set aside larger dollar amounts at a time, the money comes out in increments of less than a buck so you’re less likely to feel the financial impact. Plus, some of the apps even offer a sign-up bonus!
Check out some of the more well-known options including Acorns, Stash, Vault, Stockpile, and Robinhood.
