Fucking Ashton Kutcher and his stupid youtube ads about acorns turned me off to that shit.
Acorns is a little different in that it tracks your spending for certain debit/bank accounts that you tell it to, and it rounds purchases to the next dollar and then puts that difference into an investment account. Not a traditional broker where you deposit money(though you can set an amount to deposit every month if you choose) and pick stocks/funds/etc, it pretty much does it itself just based on your risk you select.
