Robinhood is a hugely popular share trading app in the U.S. When they launched they completely shook up the online trading world by offering share trading without any fees. Although at one point Robinhood had plans to launch in Australia, those plans have been put aside and Robinhood won’t be coming to Australia.
The good news is that there are now a couple of great Robinhood alternatives that let you buy U.S stocks like Apple, Amazon, Tesla, Netflix etc, all without any commissions.

Looking to grow your net worth using Growth Stocks. Here are some of the easiest ways to invest in Growth Stocks in Australia.
Simply put, a growth stock is a publicly traded company that is expected to grow more than the market. A good example in 2020 would be Tesla. Since the start of the year it has gained over 200%. This is obviously an outlier. But there are many other stocks that have grown even during the market downturn.

Guru investor Charlie Munger once said “The first $100,000 is a bitch”. It sure is. When you start out investing and saving, your money will gain very little from compounding. Most of your growth will come from putting aside money from your salary and other side income.
