 How much did I make investing into acorns for one full year? Let's find out. Hey YouTube, it's Zeke and welcome to the Dream Green show. Today I'm going to show you my gains on how much did I make by investing into acorns for one full year. For those that don't know, acorn is an app to where you connect it to your bank account, you connect it to your cars, and every time you spend your money on your car or swipe it, it rounds up your change and then invest it into the app for you. So I've been doing this for about a year now. If you guys want to check it out, I made a video on this not too long ago, showing my profits, but now it's been a little over a year and I'm about to show you guys my gains, okay? All right, we take a look at acorns. Right now I have $2,125.67. But exactly how much of that is profit? If I click on performance details over the last year, well all time I'm up $159.81, up 8.13%. But let's take a look at the year to see if I'm beating the market. I am, I'm up $167.05, that's up 8.53%. Putting me at $2,125.67. Now a year ago I only had around $400 in my account and it slowly grew over time, accumulating dividends and growth by me investing my change into it every single time I swipe my car, it rounds up. Let's say I buy something for $1.25, it'll round it up to $2, so it'll invest 75 cents into the market, to the stock market for me and do automatic buys. And it also reinvests my dividends right back into the platform. So these is my details for the year. This month has actually been a pretty banger. I'm up 6% this month, $121.47. So this month right here along has been doing very, very well for me the last 30 days. So that put my account well over the $2,000 mark. So that's pretty darn good if you ask me. Now if we take a look at my roundups, the total number of times that I have done a roundup on Acorns is 1,675 times. So that's 1,675 times that they invested into my Acorns account. Right now I'm at $4.42. So around when I get around 60 more cents it'll invest $5 more into my Acorns account. A amount invested total of my money from roundups is $1,263 just from swiping my card for entire year and rounding up to the next level. Now why I have a $2,000 account is because I actually spend $10 every single week into my Acorns account. So $10 every single week into my Acorns account plus my rounded up change set me just above the $2,000 mark in a year. Another way that I have invested into Acorns is by Earned Found Money. If I click on Earned Found Money I have a total of $6.15. So let's say they have these bounties. Every time I go to Chevron and get gas from Chevron they invest 25 cents into my account. Or if I use Airbnb they invest a certain percent back into my account. So if I click on Earned Found Money if you buy Levi's from their website they invest 5% back into your account. Me and these have a great deal going on they invest 20% back into your account. Uber would do 50%, I mean 50 cents on every ride left would do 25 cents on every ride. They go to Chevron, I was talking about 25 cents for getting gas at Chevron. Walmart has a 1% back. So there's plenty of opportunities just by connecting your car to Acorns that you will get percentage back every time you spend and use Earned Found Money and it will be reinvested back into your Acorns account so it can grow into the stock market over time. Now the reason that this is called Acorns is because right now you're starting off early planning a little bitty Acorn that's eventually is gonna grow into a big gigantic oak tree. So if we look at my potential, years down the line if I continue at this path right here investing $10 a week and just using my roundups by the time I'm 69 I will have 161,865,000 dollars. So that's not bad just from my change alone by investing $10 every week plus my roundup change let's say 40 that's around bam and 40 at the age 40 I have a little over $17,000 but let's say I want to change my potential from going from $10 a week to $10 a day. So let's change that to $10 a day, bam at the age 40 I have $65,000 and 69 now I have around over $660,000 but let's say I invest into Acorns just like I invest into Robinhood by $200 every single month. So no $200 every single week. So let's change this back to weeks and $200. $200 every single week will make me a millionaire by the time I'm 69 I have $1.7 million and by the time I'm 40 the snowball thick will have really kicked in at the age of 40 I would have over $169,000. So that's how the little be the Acorns can eventually grow your oak tree slowly over time and look at the exponential curve the longer you hold on to your Acorns the faster it will grow down the lines but this is a long-term strategy to grow wealth and have passive income without you even noticing it just by investing pocket change every single time that you swipe your card. Okay, I actually just invested $10 into Acorns right now I received around $28.65 into Individence about money $6.15 in referrals $20 by telling my friends and family to sign up you usually get around $5 if they signed up but right now Acorn actually have a deal that if you sign up five people in the month of November they will invest $250 worth of money in two year accounts if you sign up five people you will make more money than I have in a single month than I have in a entire year if you could sign up five people using Acorns. So it's pretty tough to do but if you get five year friends to sign up you can earn $250 and that will put you well over beyond the 8% growth in a single year. But yeah, so let me tell you about the strategy that I use I have an aggressive portfolio. Having an aggressive portfolio you will have large company stocks of 40% small company stocks of 20% emerging market stocks of 10% real estate 10% and emerging large company stocks of 20% that is an aggressive portfolio compared to a conservative portfolio which is ultra short-term corporate bonds so they will buy mostly bonds with your money and your account will grow slowly over time but it's super, super safe compared to having an aggressive portfolio. In fact, their aggressive portfolio to me is almost still conservative it's also very safe I wouldn't really consider this aggressive at all real estate stocks only 10% but hey, you know, I'm trusting them with my money and they say this is aggressive so I'm sticking with aggressive and it's been working out for me so far. Roundup settings is times two so if it rounds up a quarter I have it multiplied times two so it invests two quarters instead of one and of course like I said earlier $10 every single Friday would be invested into my account and it's been working out just great for me so far putting me over $2,125.67 Every now and then you can make a one-time investment you can come in invest 10, 25, 50 or other so you can invest $500 into it at once if you want to and let them grow your money over time slowly but it's to me, I want it to be less noticeable coming out of my bank account and just by me swiping my cards in the roundups it's super simple and safe to me that I'm not investing a big large chunk of change to me over time. This is a great app if you're just getting started and don't know how to invest this is a great app if you just want to watch your money grow slowly over time without really having to look at your bank account and be like, dang, I just spent $200, $300 investing into something that I can't touch right now but yeah, this app has been great to me so far.
