<prompt> Human: Ill be entering college as a freshman in August. Im considering using Acorns as my main platform of saving money to eventually pay off college. Given that college students do not receive any fees, I thought why not. By the time I graduate from college, I intend to have a serious amount of money to pay off student loans stored away in Acorns. Is it too risky, or should I just stick with a savings account with minimal growth?  <response>: Do not confuse an investment account with a savings account. If you need the money in 5-10 years, dont risk it in stocksbonds.
