I ordered a set of wicked-sweet headphones from Amazon.com and was waiting impatiently for the two days it took to get them due to my new Amazon Prime account.

Betterment – A Better Way to Invest

Oct

2012

I recently got married (yay!) and decided that it was time to invest for the future. I’ve done extensive research over the past year or two on how and where to invest my money, but I never made a decision on what to do because there are so many options. That’s where Betterment comes in. ...
