Robinhood
The best way to get anyone to buy stocks and begin saving and making money. It's a great money management tool to get young individuals and anyone involved in investing, especially beginners.
It's a new fraction stock purchasing power that will hopefully be adopted by major trading companies. It's a great idea and it has a lot of potentials even though it's a fraction of a share with zero fees.
Now I had another investment app that I was recommending a few months ago and Robinhood is a great start-up investment application. So if you are a beginner or need help on investing this is a great start.
Give it a try, you never know what you can accomplish if you start saving today.
