Interesting, but....
yes - but

I sort of do that, but i do it because i check my accounts each morning. The person that wrote this or is profiled probably has TONS of disposable income.

They really should label that as an advertisement ...

I suppose it would work if someone doesn't have the discipline or interest in putting aside $ for savings. I don't want someone poking about in my checking or savings accounts, but that's me.

And I'd think you'd really want to pay attention to what's going on with it.

I do not use that app but I have used another app called Quapital, as well as one called Acorns. The acorns one will invest as you want it to. I loved both, and the rounding up. Never had an issue with either, although with my income the rounding up was closer to 40 a mo th, lol. Admittedly I do every single transaction with a card even if its 2 bucks.

I also have a savings plan with my bank where they transfer a dollar to savings for every card transaction.

That sounds like a nice savings plan, as long as you can budget those extra savings dollars into your plans. I might not be able to always do that. ;)
