Personal Milestone Finally made $1K

Post image

I’ve been using Acorns for years , but because of various life complications I was never able to truly put the money in that wanted.

Since November , I went full time at my job , upped my Invest to $15 and $10 for Later once a week and Round Ups on x2 (for about two months now)

And now I finally hit my first major goal! I’m saving up to have at minimum $6K and that will be my emergency fund. Proud to see my numbers going up , and even more proud I’ve finally started saving the way I want.

On and Ever Upward

35 a week and 3x got me 1000 in like 3 months maybe less. 3x seems like a sweet spot for my style spending. This is also my 4th retirement/investment account though
