• 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: about 1 year 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. I started with $10/paycheck 11 years ago, and now I have almost $20,000 invested as I kept increasing my automated deposits as my salary grew. Source: about 1 year ago

• 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

• I have a Derogatory Mark that is in Collections… How do I get it off asap? Plz

  But the debt may continue to impact your credit for longer than those seven years because the collections company can also place an item on your credit report. Depending on how the account is handled, whether it’s within the statute of limitations and whether you attempt to negotiate or pay the debt, the item can appear on your credit report for as long as around seven-and-a-half years from the last payment...

• Real Fico scores higher than Vantage?

  I read a lot about ignoring the Vantage scores provided by Creditkarma and while I'm satisfied with my Experian Fico 8 score, I got a trial membership on credit.com to see all the other Fico scores. Source: about 1 year ago

• Experian FICO Score 8 dropped by massive 44 points

  Just requested the credit.com people to remove it and also disputed on Transunion systems, hoping that it gets removed soon. Should not be affecting me negatively then, right? Source: about 1 year ago

• Experian FICO Score 8 dropped by massive 44 points

  So if I understand correctly, FICO 2/4/5 are used for mortgages. I then tired to dig deep into my report and got a free weekly trial from credit.com to see all other FICO scores. From 3 bureaus. And as per credit.com, my credit age and account mix ratings are either C or C- category (across all 3 bureaus). All other factors have either A or A+ (if that matters). Source: about 1 year ago

• Current credit score 612, how do I make it go up?

  I opened an account on credit.com, like you said, and canceled immediately. Credit.com shows my FICO 9 score as 668. It also shows that I have 2 negative records. They are both the same collection that I mentioned in my original post (2 different bureaus). Source: about 1 year ago
