• Astra is kaput!

  For those curious Astra is an automated bank transfer API marketed specifically towards fintech companies like Yotta. For those of you who have tried to set up faster deposits Astra is the service that Yotta uses to provide the faster deposits. I personally haven't looked at this in a while so I don't even know if that service is being used anymore but this is likely what it is used for. However, I very weirdly... Source: over 1 year ago

• Yotta says I don't have recurring transfer, but takes out $25 every other Wednesday?? I remember setting up the $25, but don't see it here or any way to cancel?

  I would try to sign into astra and see if it’s scheduled there https://astra.finance - yotta uses them for some of the apps features. Source: over 1 year ago

• Feature/Quality of Life Improvement Wishlist.

  An automation platform for moving money. It's pretty neat. You can download the app, create an account, link your bank and then set up a bunch of neat automated transfers. https://astra.finance/. Source: almost 3 years ago

• What to do with extra $13k as a 20 year old

  Go to betterment.com and put it in their cash reserve. You'll get a good interest rate that should help at least reduce some inflation risk. Source: 11 months ago

• Financially illiterate

  If you want a less frightening way to invest, betterment.com was my gateway into investing. It has a pre-selected basket of index funds and bonds, and you can just select your risk tolerance, set up a deposit schedule, and they take care of the rest.

• Weekly note about a direct competitor outdoing M1+

  Also about Betterment: they too started offering crypto at exactly the wrong time, but unlike M1 they have the decency to hide it from view! If I go to betterment.com now, I don't see any reference to crypto on the main page unless you scroll all the way down to the site map at the bottom. That's something else that M1+ could offer:.

• Moving out at 18, no idea how to be an adult.

  Lastly sign up for a free investment app like acorns, betterment.com, robin hood etc. Once you've got your budget setup dump everything else into those when combined with your credit card buffer you can always pull back out or preferrably reduce next months investments if you find yourself low on funds one month.

• Newbie Question - Investment Account

  There are muuuuuuch better options today that Edward Jones. Your "local guy" makes a living adding maintenance costs to your account. The original poster here could do really well by checking out betterment.com and just following the on-screen prompts (they offer IRAs, too). Next time you meet with your local guy, ask him how much (the exact dollar amount) he's made from the fees on your investment account...and... Source: almost 2 years ago
