I remember sitting at my computer early in 2017 looking at my shitty savings account.  Don’t get me wrong, I have the usual responsible investments, 401K, etc.  I had this savings account that didn’t have much in it.  I didn’t make enough to make it grow, and I was tired of seeing the generous .8 cent interest payments from the bank.  I saw an ad for Robinhood, an app that offered zero commission trades.  I had never traded a stock in my life, and I had no idea what was good to buy or when to buy it.  Sounded great!  I moved my small savings over to Robinhood and started my adventure.
