• 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

• Can you opt out of State Pension?

  Go to m1finance.com, create a roth ira brokerage account. Source: almost 2 years ago

• m1 holdings export

  Did M1 recently change their web url from m1finance.com to m1.com? I think it broke the chrome extensions to export holdings as I am trying to update my spreadsheet and now the extension options are no longer there when right clicking on holdings screen. Wondering if anyone has a fix? Looking at the extension in chrome it only has 1 safe url of m1finance.com and no way to add more :(. Source: about 2 years ago

• Unable to login?

  The website changed from m1finance.com to m1.com and it threw off LastPass. Login worked, but LastPass freaked that I now have 2 of the same passwords. Source: over 2 years ago

• Is m1.com legit?

  The encryption certificate for m1finance.com is also valid for m1.com, and the help link at the bottom of the m1finance.com page goes to help.m1.com, so I'd say it's legit. Source: over 2 years ago

• Email asking for SSN from m1finance.zendesk.com legit?

  Yes, I hate it too when companies like these don't bother to set up their 3rd party services fully with their domain names. It takes 5 minutes of google search to find how to configure zendesk so that mail comes out from m1finance.com domain. Source: over 2 years ago
