Robin Hood Investing - Comission Free Trades

-
Investing can seem scary and out of reach for the average person. It doesn't have to be this way! Commission fees and minimum investing amounts have dropped significantly over the last several years. In fact, with Robin Hood (free app) you can start buying stocks for free (no commission fees). While this may not take the scariness out of investing, it might minimize it due to the small dollar amounts you are working with. Scroll to the heading FREE STOCK to find out how to get an absolutely free stock right now. Really, really. I included a picture of the free stock I got when signing up!

No Minimums

There is no minimum when working with Robin Hood. Unlike larger companies or investment firms that require anywhere from $500 - $10,000 to open an account, Robin Hood had no requirements besides having funds available for the stocks you wish to purchase. Start with $10 or $20 to get comfortable with the idea of investing. If you don't like the idea of buying single stocks, use the app to buy an index fund like VTI (S&P 500 fund). You can make periodic small transfers and watch the savings add up!

I signed up using a friend's link. After signing up using the link, a claim link will appear in your "History" within 5-10 minutes. Hit claim and that's all there is to it!
My free stock was Sirius Radio (SIRI) valued at $5.29. I would not have chosen this stock for myself, but it was a free $5. Turned out to be a great choice. It is now valued at $6.08 = 14.9% increase.

Thrifty Crafter: Natural Egg Dyes

Spring has sprung and Easter is around the corner! Such a fun time, filled with bright colors, candy, family, and more. It can also be a scary food time -- candy filled with corn syrup and other artificial ingredients, eggs dyed with petroleum products, and thousands of empty calories to name a few issues. I can't stop you from overindulging on your ham dinner, but I can help out reducing some of the artificial ingredients you're putting at your table this year. Colored Easter eggs have long been a staple at Easter time, whether you hide them for a Easter Egg hunt or put them out as decoration. Coloring Easter eggs is also just plain fun! That is until you start looking at what is in that dye you are using. Yellow 5, Red 40, blue 2.... Does that sound like something your body can digest well? If you dig a bit deeper you find that these colors are actually petroleum based and are known carcinogens. Yet we use these on food we are feeding our families. This year you can ...
