‘Social’ Spring’s App of the Week Makes it Easier to Save Money

'Acorns' is a free investing app that collects all your spare change into extra cash in your pocket over time.

I was out eating with a friend when he said, "wait I need to see how much I have on Acorns." Immediately, I had to ask what in the world is 'Acorns?'

You know how squirrels collect acorns throughout the year to prepare for the winter? They collect little by little so eventually they have their winter supply. Well, this is exactly how 'Acorns' works!

Connect your card, make a purchase, and Acorns will round your purchase to the nearest dollar. It's easy forget how much change is left over whenever we use our cards, so you'll be surprised how much you can save!

'Acorns' is a handy app if you're looking for more ways to save money or learn about investing. See how it works in their video below:
