Alternatives to Digit Savings: HOW TO Automatically Save & Invest
I have used Digit Savings for the past couple years...no more! Today they decided to start charging for the benefit of them saving money for you. Crazy! (more info in this article: https://goo.gl/0nupIA)
I closed my Digit Savings account today. Here's an easy link to do that: https://digit.co/close-account
Here are three (much better) alternatives. These are all Robo Advisor mechanisms which means they automatically invest money for you :
1. Acorns - They round up every dollar you spend to the nearest dollar and automatically invest it for you. Pretty sweet!
2. Wealthfront - You tell them what your risk profile is, how you want to save, and how much and they'll do the rest!
3. Betterment - Very similar to wealth front
