 Hey, what's up you two? I'm Zeke and welcome to the dream green show and this episode I'm gonna show you how I made a little over $10,000 by just investing into the app acorns Now I'm gonna start off this video by saying this video is not sponsored by anybody at all is not sponsored by acorns This is just my three-year honest review now I've been investing to acorns a little over three years now in my account is now sitting at $10,000 now I know a lot of you guys are trying to start off the year by investing to the stock market and you're not quite ready to Dive into the deep end and just to go head first into the stock market Well acorns is an app that takes your pocket change every time that you swipe your card It rounds up to the nearest dollar and invests into the stock market for you So this is a very simple way to get your feet wet in the stock market learn a little bit more about it Investing into the stock market with pocket change that you won't even notice missing at all And then it continued to grow your account over time into the stock market So for example if you was to go to the corner store and buy 75 cent piece of gum It will round up to the nearest dollar. So it would be 25 cents So you would pay 75 cent for the gum and that 25 cents to the nearest dollar They would take that and invest it on the acorn app inside of the stock market So you're really not gonna miss a lot of your change that you usually get other than taking your change Home and putting inside a pettie bank. Now you're taking your change and putting inside the stock market and letting it grow for you So in this video, I'm gonna show you what stocks that acorns is investing your pocket change into And I'm gonna show you guys my settings that I use on the acorns app So if you want to copy my settings, make sure that you stick that the entire video So you don't miss out on any crucial information So if you're ready to get started inside the stock market down here and scroll down and hit that thumbs up button Hit the subscribe button and share it because that helps out this channel more than you can even imagine But before we dive into this video if you guys want to earn some free stocks I'm gonna leave a link to we will down in the description sign up the positive any amount of money And you'll receive two free stocks valued up to $2,600 with those two free stocks You could keep it inside the platform and decide to use it or you can sell those two free stocks and withdraw All of your money is literally free money guys Also in the description is a link to coinbase That's about for the easiest way to buy and sell cryptocurrency and the last link is acorns if you guys would like to try the acorns app I'm gonna leave that link down in the description, but enough talking. Let's go ahead and dive straight into this video Welcome back dreamers as you guys can see why I made this video is that my account just reached a little over $10,000 I've been using this platform a little over three years I'm sitting at $10,000 and $26 and 70 cents But let me first get into the settings that I'm using just in case if you guys want to use the same settings I'm using and then I'm gonna show you exactly where they're taking your pocket change and investing inside the stock market So first here we are right here. My portfolio is set on aggressive mode Now there are many different modes that they have if you guys want to lower your risk You can is set on aggressive. They have it all around conservative 100% is in bonds 0% is in stocks On Marley conservative 60% in bonds 40% on stocks. The next one is moderate 40% in bonds 60% of stocks 20% in bonds 80% of stocks and then aggressive no bonds all stocks But I really do think that aggressive and with them being 100% of stocks is still not Aggressive enough for me, which is why I still invest inside of the stock market But this is a great way for beginners to get their feet wet inside the stock market Get to learn a little bit more about the market before they dive completely deep into the deep end So that is my portfolio settings right there have mine set on aggressive now a quick of a disclaimer I do have to announce this is that my account is at $10,000 But I but I did a year ago withdraw out around $4,500 and I took it out. You're never supposed to take out investments You're supposed to always let it continue to grow, but I took out $4,500 so I really would have been at $10,000 a long time ago way quicker than three years But I did not take out $4,000 and go take a vacation. That's why I really was Started my acorns account for it was to save my pocket change for vacations But I took out $4,000 and invested into Tesla which turned my $4,000 to $8,000 really really fast So if you guys do want to be part of a trading community where I invest into stocks I'm gonna leave a link down in the comments sections of pen comment that'll take it to my patreon the patreon to take it to the Discord over in the discord. I post every single time I buy and sell stocks every swing trade And then we also have pro traders in there that day trades every single day guys every single Market day of the week So if you guys want to be a part of a great community of investors where a whole bunch of knowledge It's all in one place So click the link down in the comment section and sign up for the discord if you guys want to be a part of that community All right, so yeah back to my acorns account I really would have had $10,000 a long time ago, but yeah setting number two that I use is the roundup setting I have mine's on automatic times two So like I told you guys earlier if you bought a 75 cent piece of gum 25 cents would have been invested into the acorns app into the stock market But since I have miles on times two it takes a 25 cents and multiplied by two and now they're investing 50 cents It's a into the stock market So I do have mines on rounding up to the nearest dollar on times two You can have it on times two times three or times ten if you guys would like that All right, and then the third way that I have my settings is on recurring investment I invest $10 every single Friday to me every Friday of the week 52 times a year I'm gonna invest $10 so 52 times 10 That's around five hundred and twenty dollars a year that I do on recurring investment But I'm telling you guys right now My swipe my car so much that I get a lot more from my roundups than I do from just investing $10 every single Friday So here we go over the last 30 days. I invest a hundred and seventy nine dollars and thirty seven cents $47 is from roundups $40 is from recurring. That's $10 every Friday $82 is from dividends and I did get two friends to sign up So I received $10 in referrals. So over the last 30 days, I invest 179 dollars and 37 cents So this is really money that you won't be missing from you Just swiping your car and rounding up inside of the stock market. Take a look at this graph right here all time I am up 17% around $2124 and it's not a linear curve guys once you continue investing to the stock market The compound effect really start to take place So if if I was to take a screenshot and do this just a linear curve a linear line like that right there that would be Just invest into the stock market if the price didn't go up at all But because the compound effect start to take place It actually do this when you continue to invest into the stock market. It goes up Boom just like that guys It goes up and it's going to continue to grow up. So let's say the first year if I only made $200 the second year I won't make another $200. I might make $350 and in the fourth year it's going to continue to compound on top of each other to where me making $10,000 in three years I can make $10,000 in one year to me eventually making $10,000 in one month So that is the the power of the compound effect inside of the stock market So I know you guys are asking what exactly is a corns investing my money into well Let's take a quick look at my portfolio and show and I'm going to show you where they're investing my money So if you're here on this chart, you could swipe up and then look at where they're putting my money I have $5,000 in large company stocks a thousand dollars in media company stocks $500 in small company stocks and $3,000 in international stocks now if you used to click on it the large company stocks that they're investing into It's a ticker symbol VLO that is an ETF. They invest inside the top 500 companies in America guys So when they're buying shares of the large company stocks, they're just buying the ETF VLO Medium company stocks. They're buying the ETF IJH the small company stocks. They're buying the ETF IJR And for the international company stocks, they're buying the ticker symbol IXUS So those are the four companies that Acorns is investing my pocket change into I already know about the stock market So I know how to invest my own money inside of these ETFs So I really don't have to use Acorns, but I love I absolutely love this platform Because every time I swipe my card, I know that they're investing my pocket change inside of the stock market I don't have to worry about Taking quarters and dimes and nickels home and putting inside the pity bank and it's in there doing absolutely nothing at all So that is one of the main reasons I use Acorns is because of that round-up feature So there we go guys, let me know down in the comments section.
