How to maximize the use of Acorns?

Hello,

I've had my acorns account for a month or two now and I only have the regular investing at $10 a week and round-ups at 10x. I have the silver status on it. I have a Robinhood account that I haven't touched either with $20 in it. I also have a Roth IRA that's on a separate account from Acorns. I was messing around with the app and accidentally opened another Roth IRA. Sorry, just wanted to establish what I have.

For my questions:

  1. Is it worth it to upgrade to Gold status?
  2. What do I invest in and how do I determine what's best to invest in?
  3. How can I maximize my use of this app and maximize my return on investments?

I am 26 and I make $45,760 ($22/hr) a year at the supply chain company I work for. I haven't started my 401(k) yet. Any advice would greatly be appreciated. Thanks!

Brazilian Customs and Documentation

Morning everyone,

I am a shipping and logistics coordinator at a medium sized computer component company. I have been here for a year and a half now. I have learned quite a lot in my time here despite our shipping queue being very steady. My biggest question is in regard to Brazilian Customs and Documentation. We have many customers based in Brazil and most of them utilize freight forwarders to handle the export out of the USA. To my knowledge, we are required to provide 2 commercial invoices and 1 packing list, with all three signed and stamped in blue ink. If we are shipping to a freight forwarder, we add an SLI that is also signed and stamped in blue ink. Aside from those 3 (or 4) pieces of documents, the company I work for requires we put the packing list on the box as well. Sorry for the long explanation, this leads to my question.

For those that ship internationally to Brazil, I have a few questions.

  1. Why are we required to sign and stamp in blue ink?
  2. I know we cannot upload trade documents on DHL and FedEx so that's why we send 3 (or 4) pieces of paperwork. Why is Brazil like this?
  3. Are there any other countries that have strict customs/homeland security?

Sorry for the questions. My boss explains this stuff to me but I also want to see what everyone else thinks. Thanks!

Hey everyone. I hope y'all are doing well.

I am looking into seats and I'm debating on what to do. I have the stock black leather seats from BMW and they're nice and all but I've always liked the red leather seats option. BUT, I also want bucket seats. I had a Sparco bucket seat in my supra and really liked it. Does anyone have bucket seats in their 1 series or have the red leather seats for sale?
