<prompt> Human: Im a college student who has a very time intensive schedule where I wont be able to work much during the school year. I realised about half way through the summer i wasnt making as much as I wanted for the upcoming year. Looking for jobs and just general money making opportunities I was pointed to acorns. It was basically another option to make money over the course of the year even if its not a lot. My girlfriend is getting incredibly angry with me. She believes the Acorns investing app is a Pyramid or Ponsie scheme. Is there anything backing this? If so what other places can I use to invest? Is acorns safe?Ive begun looking into Stash and even investing on my own. But if its safe I would keep my money with Acorns.  <response>: Your girlfriend thinks acorns is a pyramid scheme cause thats money youre not spending on her lolActually though, Acorns is reputable for picking up a few cents here and there but they take 1 a month which doesnt sound like much but dependent upon the sizereturn of your portfolio it could be. Also check out robinhood, commission free trading, great app to get started.
