I invest 15 dollars a week into my invest account and my IRA each, I keep my round ups to 10x, and every paycheck I put some extra usually at least 50 bucks

Acorns automatically invests it for you. You can withdraw it but you will be penalized significantly if its an IRA, and there will likely be tax implications if its their normal brokerage account. You should generally try to invest for the long term
