For a lot of people, the idea of investing is intimidating. After all, you need to drop thousands of dollars if you want to buy stocks that anybody has heard of, right?
Wrong. Thanks to an app called Robinhood, you can invest in companies like Google and Tesla no matter how much you’ve got to spare, whether it’s $5 or $5,000.
Better yet, Robinhood doesn’t charge commissions or trading fees, so every dollar you make on your investments goes directly to you — you’ll never have to give a cut to a broker.
