A friend recently recommended an app for penny-pinching called Acorns. It allows you to invest by by rounding up every purchase you make to the nearest dollar. So, if you buy a coffee for $4.75, 24¢ would go into an investment portfolio. It costs $1 a month and you can cash out of investments whenever you want. It’s definitely fun to watch your money grow. Check it out: Acorns.

She now works from home as a freelance graphic designer and a chauffeur to her 3 busy kids. "Working on TipsFromTown has been a wonderful outlet for me. It renewed my love of publishing where I can design colorful, enticing pages online and allows me to share the things I love about being a mom." Heather grew up in Shaker Heights, Ohio, a place that still is near and dear to her. " After living in Brooklyn for 18 years and studying Graphic Design at Pratt Institute, she now lives in the Jersey burbs. "I love living so close to NYC, but in my heart, I'm an Ohio girl."
