2025 is now upon us. I hope everyone had a great new year's, but now it's time to start thinking

about our new year's resolutions. Every year I make a lot of big promises to myself, and rarely

do I end up keeping all of them. Several years back, though, I made a resolution to save more money,

and that's been working out great ever since, which is thanks to today's sponsor, Acorns.

Acorns makes it easy to start automatically saving and investing, so your money has a chance

to grow for you, your kids, and your retirement.

You don't need to be an expert.

Acorns will recommend a diversified portfolio that fits you and your money goals.

You don't need to be rich.

Acorns let you invest with the spare money you've got right now.

You can start with $5 or even just your spare change. When I started using Acorns

years ago now, that's exactly what I did. I set up an account, invested $5, and that took all of about

five minutes. So if you've got a New Year's resolution to save money and give that money a chance

to grow, head to acorns.com slash pirate, or download the

Acorns app and start saving and investing for your future today. Paid non-client endorsement,
