I explain my first experiences with investing, the results I saw, and how I feel about it.
Buying a house is no joke. It takes time, effort, and money. And keeping good investments that will continue to help you along the way is a tall order when you're looking for money to move around. While stocks are liquid enough that they can be used, sometimes it's not the best option if you …

Stock are volatile. Headlines, memes and reddit posts, influential people posting on social media, speculation and gossip, expectations and earnings; many things can make a stock pivot up or down. Following those trends is not something I am good at. When I heard about Gamestop, AMC, and other stocks that soared the week of January …

Emperor is now closed. Emperor was a great experience, before they closed their doors. Due to low demand and the fees associated with the account not being enough to sustain them, Emperor had to cease operations in November. The website was easy to understand, easy to navigate, and decent to use. My chief complaint was …
Nvstr has been a good experience. The website is easy to understand, decent to navigate, and decent to use. My chief complaint is the commissions on stock buy/sell orders. It is also sometimes a little confusing where to go for different things, like Activity versus History if you don't pay attention to what category it …
Fundrise has been a very interesting investing experience. The website are easy to understand, easy to navigate, and easy to use. My chief complaint is that it is a little harder than I think it should be to invest your own money into specific eREIT positions. Out of 100, I would give this website a …
WorthyWorthy is a 5% fix-rate bond website and app (though I haven't used the app) that allows you to purchase bonds at $10 per bond, with daily accrual of interest (as long as it is a multiple of $0.01, otherwise accrues until you hit that threshold) and no penalty for withdrawing your money at any …
