Should you invest with Brickx
Brickx is an Australian startup that lets you invest in property with as little as $75. On the surface that sounds like a great way for the non-baby boomer crowd to get access to the property market. But is it really a good investment? Find out if you should be investing in Brickx with our review.

The best investing apps in 2019
It’s amazing that in 2019 it’s possible to invest in a complex, diversified portfolio of stocks and bonds with just a couple of taps on your phone. In fact investing has never been easier. You don’t need lots of money to start investing anymore. In fact you can get started with as little as $5.
In this post I’m going to share with you my two favourite investing apps for 2019 and why you should be using them.
How to invest in U.S Stocks
Every day I use products from Apple, Google, Netflix etc. So it would make sense that I’d want to invest in them. I do like to try and invest in products that I believe in and use.
But investing in U.S stocks can be both difficult and expensive if you’re based in Australia. But thankfully there are now a number of options for investing in U.S stocks.
Losing Money on Raiz? Here is what todo
Have you started using Raiz but noticed that your account balance has gone down? In this post I’m going to explain what’s going on and what you should do.
What you’re investing in
When you invest using Raiz, your money is invested in a diverse portfolio of stocks and bonds. So it’s important to understand that the stock market does go up and down. So if you’ve invested right before the market has a downturn then your account balance on raiz will go down a little bit.
Raiz launches a messenger chatbot
My favourite investing app, Raiz, has launched a Facebook messenger chatbot.
You can use the bot for things like:
- Ask what your Raiz balance is
- Ask how much you spent on shopping last week
- Ask the total of your roundups for the week
- Ask if you can afford to go out tonight
This is a really nifty idea. When I first heard about the chatbot, I didn’t think anyone would need it, but looking into how much it can actually do, it really does seem useful. As well as questions about your account, you can also ask support questions on how to use Raiz and even general finance questions like “what is a stock”.
