Has anyone actually made a decent chunk of money using Acorns? I just deleted mine because I couldn't justify it. The money I was putting in was not beating inflation.

 

"The new Millenial Investment Strategy"

 

I don't use accorn, but I do max out my IRA every year. You should think of investing in stock index funds as a long term investment. Over the long-term you're going to make money. You'll beat inflation. There will be years that it'll be down and years that it'll be up - but if you wait it out for the long term - you will almost certainly come out ahead.

 

From the 0.45 survey a bunch of us got rejected earlier.

Hi,
I forgot to precise in the qualifications that respondents needed to be either from US or Canada. I am really sorry about that. You are welcome to do the test again if you are from those countries. I have a call with Amazon today to tell them it is my fault, I will do my best to correct the situation.
Sorry for the inconvenience,
Constance Chaput-Raby

 

pretty sure im from the US. gimme a sec, lemme look out my window.

 

Nope you are in a padded white room thousands of miles away from the US.

just clacking away on a typewriter and giggling

Thanks. That's what I have been looking at. Right now I have about 5 stocks that I'm invested in, mostly tech and entertainment, but I have been watching a few ETFs for the last couple of months trying to figure out which one I like the best. I'm definitely interested in more long term investments. Not looking to day trade because I don't trust myself not to panic sell things. Haha!

 

This reminds me...
Is there a way to block requesters so we don't do any work for them? I know they can be blocked so they don't show up in OW and other scripts, but what about mturk in general? There are several I'd like to avoid already and add to the list when I see a sketchy TO.
