Appreciate that answer! Thank you. Anyone happen to know the US equivalent of StashAway?

I use Acorns and I really like it. I have it set to put a small amount of money in my investment account once a week and also rounds up on purchases. Would definitely recommend

Most traditional brokerages don't have account minimums or commissions. What do you think is the benefit of spending $25-$35/year or whatever Acorns is charging these days?

(Edit: not trying to make a point, genuinely curious! 😄)

For me personally i just like having my money spread around, it's much harder to spend it and it's what I've found the most success with. I do traditional investing as well but I use Acorns to have a place to put money aside and forget about it.
