I'm not young. Sixty two. I have a financial advisor, a pension, 401 k, roth, and money market. All is doing well, but I want to do things on my own and learn. I've got a few hundred dollars to invest a month and I am excited to get started. Thanks for making this clear, easy to follow video.
I just started investing as a teen using the Bloom app, and this video was really helpful! Convincing my parents was hard but they are comfortable with Bloom and not robinhood lol

Man. THIS dude gets it. This felt sincere, personable, thorough and informative. God bless you for being selfless in your approach to subscribers & notification alerts. Thank you.
I just turned 23 yesterday and I’ve been seriously considering investing. I’d be lying if I said “I’m not nervous” to start moving forwards with this- but I feel like this is a smart life decision for me to partake in. I spend a lot of money every month, why can’t I put that away for investments instead? Leave something for my future. Thank you for being so insightful and for making this video easy to understand.
Im 23 and was intimidated by the concept of investing money, but your video is like a college professors wet dream in terms of how well you are able to explain this topic. Subbed!
Iv been concidering for a long time. Impsired by an old buddy who was introducing it to me when he past. I think your the first person i feel i can truely trust since. Thanks for the info! Ill be following
I’m new to investing and am in my early 30’s . I’ve subscribed to your channel because of how genuine you sounded in your attempt to help beginners. Looking forward to more information and growth.
You’re amazing. You completely understand INVESTING, for BELIEVING in a company and not trying to make a quick buck. I’ve seen so many people around me fail and I wish I could help them, but I realized I can send them this video because you took the time and communicated investing perfectly. Thank you so much for this video.
oh my gosh. first, thank you for getting to the point and not rambling like so many videos out there. I actually really enjoyed your content and felt comfortable taking you at your word. Your humor at the end about deep hatred, hit the dislike twice, THAT was funny! No hatred here, you made it easy to understand and not terrifying at all, thank you and lets see some more!
Thank you for the thoughtful and educational introduction to the over complicated world of beginner investing. I'm starting a little late in life upon the road of wealth management (49 and a half) for the simple reason that they have made investing more approachable to those of us who don't have 750lbs of surplus cash to drop into a brokerage account. I found your content to be unpretentious, honest and entertaining and as such have garnered a new subscriber. Keep up the important work my friend.
I'm new to investing and have watched ALOT of videos and yours has helped me understand more then the others combined. Thanks man! Please keep them coming!
I have watched slews of you tube videos on investing lately. I'm getting older (54) and want to get my money working for me . I just wanted to let you know that at the end of your video i thought to myself, " You know, I like this guy.."
Thank you for the info. I’m so tired of being behind the 8 ball so to speak. I work 2 jobs to support my family, which I’m fine with but I do t see myself getting ahead. I’ve never invested before, but seeing your video is giving me a light of possibility for myself and my family. Again thank you
Finally in a position where I have extra money and feel personally comfortable to look into investing, and this video was a great help. Thank you, I liked and subbed. 😎
Wow great video. I love that you really gave real information and didn’t talk all over the place. Such a refreshing video without the extra stuff we don’t need.
Great video, I also noticed that you actually answered to all comments, which is insane and awesome. Thanks for the video, I look into investing with acrons now!
I am looking to invest in the stock market with absolutely no prior knowledge, this video is the first I've watched and was so easy to comprehend. I applaud. Thanks for the info!
There are a number of very positive things that I could say about this video, however I'm confident that I would merely be unintentionally echoing the various praises of others before me... :( ....but since I've already said this much, I can't resist telling you something that I'm certain you've heard countless times, already: Your closing statements constitute the classiest, most considerate and (IMHO) most professional presentation ending created by an independent creator on UA-cam. Much Love and Full Respect, Jay (newly subscribed)
@xALLSTATEx Jay, wow, I’m a little speechless at your comment. Thanks so much! Just wanting to be a fair and helpful voice and it might actually be happening based on comments like yours. I really appreciate your encouragement! Hoping to be helpful in the future to you!
guys please answer quick if you can --- it says to confirm that you are US CITIZEN = you cannot use it as eu citizen .. :/ ? Is there another such easy app that you can use in germany ?
Great video. I just installed M1, Acorns, and Webull and made accounts. I also subscribed after watching this video. I look forward to learning more about investing using your channel. Thank you!
you're right; it's hard to take the first step...I really liked the video, and also your approach. I appreciate the info - liked and subbed. Great content, flow and pacing - worthwhile 22 minutes. thanks, bro
You grabbed my attention very well with this video! I am easily distracted sometimes. I spaced off during the video but the moment I snapped back, I went back to a part I had already viewed and watched it again, just to get back on track. There is a lot of very sound advice and fair insight of the platforms mentioned in this video. The atmosphere and tone you presented in was very inviting and relatable. Thank you, good sir!
I don't usually comment, like ever, but your video was so great and so easy to follow that I had to let you know that. Keep making videos like this because it's helping people like me, a newbee, to make really life impacting decisions seem not so scary. Thanks!
So I’m new to investing. I appreciate your advice because I just started with Robinhood and I am going to stray away and start with something smaller. I’m eager to learn but definitely overwhelmed with the graphs, and allll the information. I just want my money to grow, I’m 22, so I like to think I’m at a good start. I really appreciate the ending, where you said “do not turn on notifications for me bc I don’t want to interrupt your day” out of all these apps trying to take away our attention, you respect our time and just want us to learn from you freely. Which makes me want to give you my attention bc of you being genuine. I definitely subscribed!
Thanks for your super kind words Niquey! It’s definitely a little overwhelming at first but you’re right, you are off to a great start at only 22. I wish I started in my early 20’s!
well put - I agree... Brendan is a straight shooter with a rare ability to explain concepts quite adeptly. ...got an Instant sub from me....I know quality when I see it.
Thank you! This video was just what this beginner investor needed to confirm the fact that I was getting ready to set-up an account with Acorn. Thank you again and God bless!
Thankyou for making this video, all other beginner videos talk about complex things that aren't easy to understand. This vid was extremely helpful. I also felt smart knowing I had already made an Ancorn account.
Have watched literally 10s of thousands of YT vids over the last 15 years and genuinely only feel compelled to comment approx once per year. Just wanted to say that was awesome and you earned an insta-subscribe. Love your bit at the end about protecting your time and not needing more notifications in life. Looking forward to seeing more from you. Cheers from South Africa
You’re totally right. I wish there was a way to “edit” the current video to add in such a note. I’ll add a line in the description since that is still editable!
Hi Brendan! First time seeing one of your videos and I really enjoyed it. You come across as genuine and that says a lot. I subscribed to your channel and I look forward to your future videos. Have a great day and stay safe!
For the last two years I’ve used this as a savings account for Christmas gifts. The fact you get cask back going through their app, and being able to use their debit card for those purchases makes this a no-brainer! It’s so much better than a “Christmas savings club” at a bank.
Thanks Jennifer! Take advantage of that 401k too, especially if your company offers a match! It’s free money! Typically you have to invest something like 5-8% of your pay to get the maximum free money so make sure you do that!!
I really appreciate you, I thank you for making this video and explaining everything. I was able to understand what u were saying. I will be moving to Acorn asap and I’ll be sharing this video with all my friends and family!
guys please answer quick if you can --- it says to confirm that you are US CITIZEN = you cannot use it as eu citizen .. :/ ? Is there another such easy app that you can use in germany ?
107 people put "thumbs down" - seriously? Nothing wrong with this video at all. Thanks for your time Brendan. I will share the vid with my sister and we'll both start an Acorn account.
New subscriber. Educational content. I got approached by email or some other marketing from acorns a few years ago. I regret not starting then. But I will give it a try because between you and graham I feel confident. Thanks brother.
This guy is a prophet made this video way ahead of its time lol idk if he’s a paid actor or not but if he is, give this man a raise. Also I like how you made it easy to understand and didn’t throw out some complicated stock terms that are difficult to understand for beginners. I myself just got interested in the stock market and you gave me an idea of how it works. Thanks.
@@BrendanEvan But he asked can you trade (buy and sell) individual stocks on Acorn as well? Like, if I sign up today could I buy 100 shares of AMC in the morning when the market opens? THanks
Brendan thank you! You are exactly what I needed! You explained, informed, and clarified so much for me as a first time investor. You hit all the concerns and offered up an understanding for all the who, what, where, hows, and even why's for a beginning investor. I have been listening to and reading a lot but still had uncertainty of which App to use. I feel confident now that choosing Acorn is the way to go. Glad I clicked on you! I may still use the others just for the free stock, lol.😉
@@BrendanEvan Hello Brendan!! I have to say that it was my very first time coming across your platform! I found your talking points on investing a breath of fresh air and very phenomenal!!! I do not have any knowledge about investing and watching your presentation certainly helped guide me in choosing Acorns as an investment platform going forward in creating passive income!!! I enjoyed how simple you explained everything from start to finish!!! And thank you for showing us what we will see once we open up the Acorn APP on a phone!!
I`m beginner in the investment field and I was looking for good option in an app that is easy to use, I`m from venezuela and we have a very bad economical situarion here, life here ain`t easy, thank you for showing me an open window, God bless you bro!!
I'm not particularly new to investing but I have several thousand invested with Robinhood and so far I'm not disappointed. I have 5 stocks and 3 ETF's. I do monthly investing cost averaging. I like this video however. Giving it a thumbs up. Don't panic sell or greed buy, just maintain a steady level of investing and forget about it for 10 years or so
Solid info. As a beginner in my 30’s I found Acorns to be extremely user friendly and I do like how they promote long term. I started back in May and some people knock me for paying the $5 a month but honestly I have enough money in there working for me and the kids to not really even notice the monthly fee If it’s not already on your agenda would you make a video regarding “back door Roth IRA “ ? I’m married filing joint and I’m soon going to be making too much to contribute to a Roth “traditionally” Great content keep it up 👍
Thanks so much for watching and for your thoughtful comment! I agree, the value they provide is well worth it! It’s not on my agenda yet but is a great one to add to the list! A back door Roth definitely falls under the category of “good problems” to have. I will start developing the video ASAP. (Likely 2-3 weeks out FYI) Stay tuned and thanks again!
Thank you very much for this information!! I'm 37 and working on my emergency fund and debt but really looking forward to starting investing and was super nervous about picking a platform!
Thanks for sharing this Brendan. So many people could have used this over the last few weeks. I like your philosophy and the care for personal time outside of the drain of the web and mobile devices. Strong stuff all around. I wish I'd known more about finance when I was younger. I am going to share your advice with some young folks I know. Even if they get a little takeaway and start thinking more about investing now, I'll count it as a win. Keep up the strong work! I look forward to seeing more of your work here.
Been thinking about investing for a few months now and I am very proud to say that I Just downloaded acorns as just made my first investment all thanks to you! Thank you so much I will be subscribed and looking forward to your next video. If you can give some tips on what companies you found are best. Thanks again so much take care! :)
Great video!!! You were concise and clear and for someone who wants to invest more I love that you broken it down easily. I will definitely tune in for more.
Thank you kindly Brendan I really appreciate the information you have provided in your video I know you helped a lot of people all over the world this this video. 🤓
@@donniefuson4074 that's my worry lmfao , honestly g I'm the same age as faded , have a good amount of money I want to invest in but I don't want to invest into the wrong thing. Have a feeling stocks is just a casino slot machine , you win or lose ....
Made it through the entire video! New subscriber! I just found your channel so I'm going to see if you have any videos on crypto but if not are you planning to make one! I want to learn about it and to see if its smart to get into at all
dude you're so right. as a beginner to stocks and relatable crypto these quick changes in the markets cause an instant gut reaction to see things in the short terms vision
@@BrendanEvan in the near future I might use Acorn or when understand the market better continue to use Robinhood with an open mind. Currently a learning experience and despite the loss it's been fun.
J- that’s so great! I’m really glad I could help a little! This video seems to be a topic that a lot of people want to know more about so I made another video that could be a little helpful too. If you want you can check it out here: What EXACTLY Happens To Your Money When You Invest? (For Beginners!) ua-cam.com/video/U0xqegvIq7E/v-deo.html
@@BrendanEvan Sorry I meant to say it sounds like it functions similarly to a 401k. Except no matching contributions from Acorn. It seems Acorn simply manages whatever money you put in at a premium.
18, trying my best to learn so I can get an early start. I want to make it somehow and on the side investing is a more than perfect option. I will have to do more research but currently trying to find the best app, your insight really helped. I was going it start with Robin hood but your insight has really changed my mind. Especially with how they start us with cash, they genuinely do treat it as a game no doubt.
I'm a 26 year old in Community College and I want to start investing in componies to grow my money over time I was confuse at first but good thing you clarified everything for me I start investing now thank you.
Honestly was a little skeptical because this video (atm) is 7 months old and I wasn't sure how accurate the information would be. But after giving the whole thing a listen, it honestly feels like I learned way too much. Thanks Brendan!
Thank you for providing such valuable information to a beginner like me. Watching your video was not at all painful due to how you laid it out and easy to understand language. Thanks to you that I feel comfortable enough to go ahead and start my journey in investment through the Acorn app. Thank you once again for your time and looking forward to watching all of your videos on investing.
The stock market is constantly changing leaving traders perplexed and riddled about what to do, who recalls last year around this same period anyone who invested heavily on either crypto or Ev stocks was probably laughing his or her way through last year. All I can say is invest! Invest! Invest! Put in your monies into anything the professionals are putting you on.
You a real one! Thank you for all of the advice! I personally don’t like acorns lol but I like everything else you mentioned! Great ideas! I’m just starting my investing journal! Can’t wait

Thanks for sharing your knowledge!!! Im excited in to do my first investments !!!
I have a 401k but am clueless about investing, just clicked on your link for acorns, gonna start there. Thanks!
Thanks Jennifer! Take advantage of that 401k too, especially if your company offers a match! It’s free money! Typically you have to invest something like 5-8% of your pay to get the maximum free money so make sure you do that!!
@@BrendanEvan yes I do 8% and get matched 6%, it's great! I just feel like I should do more. Your videos on how to get started are very helpful
That’s great! Thanks!!
I really appreciate you, I thank you for making this video and explaining everything. I was able to understand what u were saying. I will be moving to Acorn asap and I’ll be sharing this video with all my friends and family!
Thanks!
guys please answer quick if you can --- it says to confirm that you are US CITIZEN = you cannot use it as eu citizen .. :/ ? Is there another such easy app that you can use in germany ?
Thank you for making this so concise! You definitely more than sparked my interest.
Thanks Teo!
Prices going down?Sweet, everything’s on sale.💰 Credit for your informative content.🤑
Everything’s on sale!
107 people put "thumbs down" - seriously? Nothing wrong with this video at all. Thanks for your time Brendan. I will share the vid with my sister and we'll both start an Acorn account.
Thanks for watching flans for the encouragement Michael!
It’s just my opinion after all, but people do like to disagree.
New subscriber. Educational content. I got approached by email or some other marketing from acorns a few years ago. I regret not starting then. But I will give it a try because between you and graham I feel confident. Thanks brother.
Thanks Joe! And mentioning me and Graham in the same sentence is a big compliment!
Excellent video and I appreciate what you said at the end...time is priceless so thank you for that!!
Thank you and thanks for watching!!
This guy is a prophet made this video way ahead of its time lol idk if he’s a paid actor or not but if he is, give this man a raise. Also I like how you made it easy to understand and didn’t throw out some complicated stock terms that are difficult to understand for beginners. I myself just got interested in the stock market and you gave me an idea of how it works. Thanks.
Hahaha, definitely not an actor. Glad it helped a bit!
@@BrendanEvan But he asked can you trade (buy and sell) individual stocks on Acorn as well? Like, if I sign up today could I buy 100 shares of AMC in the morning when the market opens? THanks
They only allow ETF’s that invest in a bunch of companies at one, not individual stocks
Brendan thank you! You are exactly what I needed! You explained, informed, and clarified so much for me as a first time investor. You hit all the concerns and offered up an understanding for all the who, what, where, hows, and even why's for a beginning investor. I have been listening to and reading a lot but still had uncertainty of which App to use. I feel confident now that choosing Acorn is the way to go. Glad I clicked on you! I may still use the others just for the free stock, lol.😉
Regina you get the award for the nicest comment of the year! It’s a privilege to be able to be a tiny bit of help along your journey!
@@BrendanEvan
Hello Brendan!! I have to say that it was my very first time coming across your platform! I found your talking points on investing a breath of fresh air and very phenomenal!!!
I do not have any knowledge about investing and watching your presentation certainly helped guide me in choosing Acorns as an investment platform going forward in creating passive income!!!
I enjoyed how simple you explained everything from start to finish!!! And thank you for showing us what we will see once we open up the Acorn APP on a phone!!
I`m beginner in the investment field and I was looking for good option in an app that is easy to use, I`m from venezuela and we have a very bad economical situarion here, life here ain`t easy, thank you for showing me an open window, God bless you bro!!
I'm not particularly new to investing but I have several thousand invested with Robinhood and so far I'm not disappointed. I have 5 stocks and 3 ETF's. I do monthly investing cost averaging.
I like this video however. Giving it a thumbs up. Don't panic sell or greed buy, just maintain a steady level of investing and forget about it for 10 years or so
Thanks Jeffrey!
Solid info. As a beginner in my 30’s I found Acorns to be extremely user friendly and I do like how they promote long term. I started back in May and some people knock me for paying the $5 a month but honestly I have enough money in there working for me and the kids to not really even notice the monthly fee
If it’s not already on your agenda would you make a video regarding “back door Roth IRA “ ?
I’m married filing joint and I’m soon going to be making too much to contribute to a Roth “traditionally”
Great content keep it up 👍
Thanks so much for watching and for your thoughtful comment! I agree, the value they provide is well worth it!
It’s not on my agenda yet but is a great one to add to the list! A back door Roth definitely falls under the category of “good problems” to have. I will start developing the video ASAP. (Likely 2-3 weeks out FYI) Stay tuned and thanks again!
@@BrendanEvan awesome! I look forward to it and your future content. and yea I hit the notification 🔔 sorry not sorry haha
Finally got your video on Backdoor Roth IRA’s done and uploaded! Sorry it’s taken so long!
Thank you very much for this information!! I'm 37 and working on my emergency fund and debt but really looking forward to starting investing and was super nervous about picking a platform!
Misty you’re on the road to an awesome destination. Good job handling those two first! Thanks for watching!!
You rock guy. Love the knowledge and dig your presentation of it. Super helpful and fun to watch!
Hey thanks!!
Wow thanks for the all the info, I had so many questions and you have provided many answer. Great video.
🙌
You are so funny and honest. Thankyou for making this video.
Thanks Naomi!
He actually knew the truth about robinhood 🤯
Thanks for sharing this Brendan. So many people could have used this over the last few weeks. I like your philosophy and the care for personal time outside of the drain of the web and mobile devices. Strong stuff all around. I wish I'd known more about finance when I was younger. I am going to share your advice with some young folks I know. Even if they get a little takeaway and start thinking more about investing now, I'll count it as a win. Keep up the strong work! I look forward to seeing more of your work here.
Wow Chris these are powerfully positive words! Thank you!
Wow Chris these are powerfully positive words! Thank you!!
Hope you invested in your thumbnail because it's so profitable now.
Bullish on the thumbnail
@@BrendanEvan Hahahahaha. Best answer ever!
I'd advise opening up the bitcoin etf portion of your acorns portfolio as well. It only makes up about 4% of the entire portfolio
When I made this video that wasn’t an option 😜
Been thinking about investing for a few months now and I am very proud to say that I Just downloaded acorns as just made my first investment all thanks to you! Thank you so much I will be subscribed and looking forward to your next video. If you can give some tips on what companies you found are best. Thanks again so much take care! :)
Great video!!! You were concise and clear and for someone who wants to invest more I love that you broken it down easily. I will definitely tune in for more.
Thanks Ashli!
Thank you kindly Brendan I really appreciate the information you have provided in your video I know you helped a lot of people all over the world this this video. 🤓
Thanks Ariella!
You just earned yourself a new sub🙌🏻 I’m 23 and ready to get into stocks!
Still young with tons of time to invest!
Tons if time to fuck up too. Be safe man
@@donniefuson4074 that's my worry lmfao , honestly g I'm the same age as faded , have a good amount of money I want to invest in but I don't want to invest into the wrong thing. Have a feeling stocks is just a casino slot machine , you win or lose ....
Made it through the entire video! New subscriber! I just found your channel so I'm going to see if you have any videos on crypto but if not are you planning to make one! I want to learn about it and to see if its smart to get into at all
dude you're so right. as a beginner to stocks and relatable crypto these quick changes in the markets cause an instant gut reaction to see things in the short terms vision
Thanks! Yeah it’s bound to cause some negative reactions.
@@BrendanEvan in the near future I might use Acorn or when understand the market better continue to use Robinhood with an open mind. Currently a learning experience and despite the loss it's been fun.
The way this aged SO WELL
Thank you so much you've clarified so much for me I'm glad I found out about you before I messed up my first start👍
J- that’s so great! I’m really glad I could help a little! This video seems to be a topic that a lot of people want to know more about so I made another video that could be a little helpful too. If you want you can check it out here:

But acorn has like the highest fees in the business
IMO, the features to help you start investing well outweigh $1-5/month.

@@phatduong208 hi phat, are you based in Vietnam by any chance?
@@andystm i live in florida , U.s
Robinhood is stalling transferring my money back to my bank account.
Oh my god! This video is a sign of the universe! This is just what I needed. Blessings!
Thanks Maria!
We can talk all day about investment but the most important thing in this video is the cow face in the background..
Great content
🐮
Thanks for the advice that app looks a whole lot easier than the other one especially cuz I'm a starting investor
Awesome, Investor Ryan! That’s got a nice ring to it.
Who’s here after the Robinhood mess lol
Before, during, and after
@@BrendanEvan 😂🧠love it
@@BrendanEvan so acorn is basically like a supplemental 401k manager?
@@Silanghet92 no, because your 401k is tied to your job. Acorns is not connected to your work at all.
@@BrendanEvan Sorry I meant to say it sounds like it functions similarly to a 401k. Except no matching contributions from Acorn. It seems Acorn simply manages whatever money you put in at a premium.
Thank so much for this video! You explain everything so well.
Thank you!!
Dude your so real your very good you dont need or want your just explaining do ever lose that about you stay as you are you genuine
Thanks!
18, trying my best to learn so I can get an early start. I want to make it somehow and on the side investing is a more than perfect option. I will have to do more research but currently trying to find the best app, your insight really helped. I was going it start with Robin hood but your insight has really changed my mind. Especially with how they start us with cash, they genuinely do treat it as a game no doubt.
Stock trading is essentially a game.
Working on my comprehensive Stock Market Investing class (that you can get for free) so stay tuned. Hoping to publish it in 1 month!
This struggling single mom appreciates your information!! ❤️
I rewatched. More info on the 2nd viewing - thank you!
I'm a 26 year old in Community College and I want to start investing in componies to grow my money over time I was confuse at first but good thing you clarified everything for me I start investing now thank you.
That’s awesome, thanks!
I thought you were great. You were the 1st video I chose on beginner investing. Thanks!
Thanks Eric! Very nice of you!
Honestly was a little skeptical because this video (atm) is 7 months old and I wasn't sure how accurate the information would be. But after giving the whole thing a listen, it honestly feels like I learned way too much. Thanks Brendan!
Ha! Thanks Jonathan! That’s awesome

Heyyyyyy, thanks “Patrick”!
Thank you for providing such valuable information to a beginner like me. Watching your video was not at all painful due to how you laid it out and easy to understand language. Thanks to you that I feel comfortable enough to go ahead and start my journey in investment through the Acorn app.
Thank you once again for your time and looking forward to watching all of your videos on investing.
Wow thanks Eddie!
The fact that I got a robinhood ad is pure gold with the thumbnail
😆
You honestly did the best I know nothing about investing and you definitely helped me
You're the best. I'm so glad i recently found your channel. Thanks for all that you do!
Wow thank you!!
The stock market is constantly changing leaving traders perplexed and riddled about what to do, who recalls last year around this same period anyone who invested heavily on either crypto or Ev stocks was probably laughing his or her way through last year. All I can say is invest! Invest! Invest! Put in your monies into anything the professionals are putting you on.
You a real one! Thank you for all of the advice! I personally don’t like acorns lol but I like everything else you mentioned! Great ideas! I’m just starting my investing journal! Can’t wait
Thanks Sara! No worries, whatever you like is fine!
super helpful. I was mislead by the Robinhood train and so now I'm going to withdraw my investments and move them to M1 or Acorns
Great! Thanks Rica!
This was actually really understandable. Great video!
Thanks a bunch, that was the goal!!
