You probably won&#8217;t miss the 21, 52, or 19 cents here and there that&#8217;s invested each time you get a coffee or make a purchase \u2014 but it adds up over time. Just like a change jar, but more productive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can get started on Acorns by filling out a short survey\u00a0covering your age, risk tolerance, current financial situation, and future goals. Your answers are transformed into advice and a custom financial plan tailored to meet your needs into which you can automatically invest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Recurring Contributions for Your Investing Portfolio<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>After setting up your account\u00a0and making your initial deposit, you can turn on auto-deposit and make recurring contributions to your portfolio which Acorns will automatically spread across your optimal investment mix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Acorns will create a custom portfolio for you filled with ETFs (low-cost, well-diversified investments) that invest in stocks and bonds. The younger and\/or more pro-risk you are, the more stocks will be in your portfolio. The older and\/or more risk-averse you are, the more bonds will be in your portfolio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the exact approach a financial advisor would take (remember, I would know).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Except there\u2019s one major difference: Acorns is FAR cheaper than a typical financial advisor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Acorns is the best solution for the vast majority of people.

That&#8217;s why Ray Dalio, founder of the world&#8217;s largest hedge fund, has gold make up 7.5% of his All Weather Portfolio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite knowing it&#8217;s a good idea, most investors don&#8217;t ever use gold in their investment mix. Don&#8217;t let that be you. Investing in gold is a smart strategy that can diversify your portfolio beyond stock market securities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Best of all?

You may also want to add some real estate to your portfolio (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreetzen.com\/go\/yieldstreet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Yieldstreet<\/a>) that has a lower correlation to the stock market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And if the Acorns\u00a0route is too hands-off for you, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreetzen.com\/go\/etoro-sign-up\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">open your eToro account<\/a>\u00a0and start investing in individual stocks and ETFs, after doing your homework.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-code-snippets-content\"><div class=\"disclaimer\">\r\nThis article is sponsored by Masterworks, LLC.
