<prompt> Human: I have 500 dollars to invest. I currently use acorns but I want to make sure I am putting my money in the right place. How would you guys invest 500 if you were new to investing?Edit : I have an emergency fund and a pension retirement plan and a 401k plan through my employer. My age is 29.  <response>: Follow the Prime Directive If you havent paid off all high interest debt, established an emergency fund of 3-6 months expenses, and maxed out all tax-advantaged retirement accounts already, this money would better serve you doing one of those things.
