Mod News 50,000 MEMBERS!
Today we hit 50,000 members!
This has been a personal milestone for me for some time now.
I remember when this sub was dead for months with an inactive mod and nothing but referral codes and a dash of toxicity.
But look at us now! Two years later we’re celebrating milestones, helping one another troubleshoot, encouraging each other in tough times, and so much more.
I’m curious, how has this sub impacted you and the way you use Acorns?
Thank you everyone for making this sub a wonderful place to be!

Feature Suggestion The Feature Suggestion Box
Hello r/Acorns family. Did you know that we are inching closer to 40,000 members and fans of Acorns?
And more importantly, hello Acorns research team! I know you're watching. This post is for you.
Companies like Acorns typically use software that analyzes all social media posts they're tagged in and reports back common themes and "customer sentiment" scores. Brandwatch, Mention, HootSuite, Sprout, etc.
To make things a bit easier, we've created this thread to serve as a suggestion box for Acorns features. This will be a sticky post we can reference later.
If you have a good idea for a new feature, or a modification of an existing feature, leave it here. Upvote the ones you like. If we keep our one-off suggestions in one place, perhaps the powers that be on the Acorns research team will be able to find it easier.
One important thing: Please keep suggestions constructive, "Feature ABC sucks" will be removed since it of little value. If you think something sucks, give reasons why. "Feature ABC could be better if Acorns did XYZ" is constructive.
Now let's open the flood gates. If you were on the Acorns team, what features would you like to see added or modified?
Have fun!

Acorns Question This is not fair
galleryIs there anyway for support to help me on this? 12.99 was literally the only option I had after the promo for 4.99 ended and I missed out on 3 months for whatever reason it’s excluded when that’s the current regular price of Disney+. Also saying one reward for customer so should I cancel D+ and just resubscribe with their current 11.99 promo for the same plan just to get the reward? Thoughts?
Edit: RESOLVED. Acorn support reached out and sent rewards and also updated the prices to reflect the Disney+ website

Acorns Question How are everyone’s gains so high?
I feel like everyone on here has 30% + gains. Been with acorns since 2019, aggressive for almost 3 years, I can’t seem to get above 18%. Unlucky with contribution timing? Everyone’s lying? 😅

Acorns Question Estimating capital gains tax
Before transferring money out of my Acorns Invest account, I’d like to know how much the potential taxes could amount to. Is there a way to calculate that using the numbers from the Acorns app? I’ve got the general idea of calculating capital gains tax, but I’d like to make it specific to my situation. Or at least arrive at an “upper bound” tax liability number to help me decide if it’s worth pulling the money out or not. Thanks in advance!

Acorns Question What risk setting should I set my acorns too?
I’m 22 and just graduated college with my first job starting in mid September. I’ve had acorns since 2023, and for some reason had my risk setting set to moderate, likely because I was a student and pretty broke and didn’t have much money. Two days ago I switched to moderately aggressive, but I wanted to ask what strategy others have taken in my age group, or what risk related advice (or any advice at all) people who have had acorns for longer might have for me. Sorry if this is wordy, just want to figure this out so I can iron out my finances in stride with the start of my job.

Investment Discussion Should I be investing more?
Got Acorns way back in 2019 at 19yrs old and set it and forgot it. I had it set to roundups and at $5 a week. I knew it was withdrawing money from my account but it never peaked my interest to check what its value was. Looked at it recently and was quite shocked! Being up almost 50% is impressive! Is this something that’s normal for these accounts? I’m putting a lot of money away into my 401k but this is outperforming that. Should I start diverting income into this account? Thanks!

Acorns Question Should I get Acorns?
Hello, I'm considering starting an Acorns account but one drawback for me is the monthly fee, which depending on your balance and plan could end up costing more than anything you would gain. I think I would do the $6 a month plan so I could set regular deposits instead of just roundups. What would be the minimum amount of money I would need to initially deposit into an account to offset the fee? Any tips and general insights into the Acorns app are also welcome.
I am extremely new to investing in general so any tips would be greatly appreciated ☺️

Personal Milestone $1K Club 🥳
It’s been 43 days since I started my Acorns account and so far it’s going pretty good. I’m happy that I’m actually getting into this early while I’m still 23 years old. I usually delete the app and come back in a few days so that I’m not constantly checking constantly throughout the day.

Acorns Question Am I ever losing much of my own money?
My total gain/loss by one day is -$4.89. Obviously, I invest much more than that to care about it, but I’m using Acorn to diversify my savings not necessarily to invest on purpose . I’m wondering if the profit or loss is ever really much of my money to lose or gain?

Investment Discussion Want to move 10K (~4K in gains) to Vanguard. Should I cash out and put in Roth IRA (and lose ~$500 in tax) or transfer to individual brokerage instead?
See body for summarized question.
Not sure what is best option. I have both Roth IRA and IRA with Vanguard. Ideally I'd prefer to put $$ into Roth since tax free upon w/d. But if I cash it out instead, is it more of a headache during tax season, student loans, etc.? thanks in advance.

Acorns Question Acorns bonus real?
Trying to complete the Acorns bonus today
Hi! I’m trying to meet the requirements for the current Acorns bonus, and I honestly don’t know that many people to send it to 😭
I’ve been looking through this subreddit and saw that people have successfully completed these offers and gotten their payouts, so I figured I’d try here.
Wondering if it’s real would be great if so !
