For example, let\u2019s say I shop at WalMart and spend $100.09 using the Found Money link in my Acorns app.<\/p>\n
After the purchase is made, Acorns will round up my total and put $0.91 aside to be transferred and invested in my account. WalMart will put $1 of their money into my Acorns account as well.<\/p>\n
\n- First, you have to shop through the Found Money link in your Acorns account, otherwise you won\u2019t get the money.<\/li>\n
- Second, there are limits. Some retailers cap the Found Money amount. WalMart caps it at $60 a month. Also, the money doesn\u2019t show in your Acorns app right away. It usually shows up in a few weeks. But you will get an email letting you know you are getting the money and it will show as pending on your Acorns app.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Here is a short list of some of the retailers that take part in Found Money:<\/p>\n

I am a big fan of keeping things simple. The less complicated things are, the more likely I will keep doing them. Take saving money for example. I could make the effort every couple of days to make transfers to my savings account, but over the long term, this isn\u2019t going to work.<\/p>\n
