acorns

I mean how many people actually tripped on those tree wells or on acorns on the ground?

There were oftens way more acorns than needed, but every year the squirrels would work furiously to bury them...

And since Oaks don't die when producing acorns, they have less incentive to avoid the predators.

They fail to continue to plant the little acorns from which the mighty oak trees grow.

They drop small branches constantly as well as piles of acorns that attract squirrels and mice.

But, uh oh, no story because Fall occurs and acorns are on the ground.

So the squirrel population was held in check by the number of acorns they could find the rest of the year and the acorns had the advantage of being buried (versus germinating on the surface).

It happens - my aunt broke her tailbone after slipping on acorns.

Apps like Acorns make it increadibly easy to get started.

What about the Spectrums, Amigas, Ataris, Commodores, Acorns etc...

I have never been especially graceful, I have lived under oaks for about half the last thirty years--including at least four that were astonishingly productive of acorns, and bless me if I've ever tripped on an acorn.

I guess I was the 'lost generation' - sure, it was BBC Micros and Acorns at primary, but we basically used them for Chuckie Egg and Lander respectively - no code.

-Saved $30k cash, not "intelligent investing" but great for peace of mind -Some stocks via Robinhood, Schwab, Tradeking (< $5k total invested any given time) -IRA -Acorns (petty cash, fun to watch it increase) In general if you can save 20%+ of net income you're doing better than most.

"Gong side by side with the above, the danger any new industry faces is that instead of the powerful companies or parents and guardians for want of an analogy, looking after the young, supporting them with their wealth and helping them grow from acorns into a wild symbiotic forest, they cannibalize them, treating them as cattle that they feed from, inevitably leaving a baron desert in their wake."

(btw, wanna build anther robo advisor, run many firms as SaaS or build an app like Acorns?

Acorns does something similar with investing.
