These are the tools behind the strategy-simple, focus, and built for long-term wealth.

Most people try to do everything in one app. I don’t.


I use Robinhood, Webull, and Acorns—on purpose.

Each one plays a specific role in my wealth-building strategy.


This post breaks it down so you can understand not just how I invest—but why I use different tools for different outcomes.


  1. Robinhood – The Public Journey


Robinhood is where I run my $50/day MicroStrategy ($MSTR) challenge—the one I’m documenting publicly for the next 20 years.


It’s clean. It’s fast. It’s simple.

But more than that—it’s the account I show the world.


I post screenshots, weekly updates, and real numbers straight from Robinhood.

This is where I prove my strategy, not just talk about it.


It’s also where I make lump sum MSTR buys during dips—because my share target is massive, and when prices drop, I strike.


Why I use it:


  • Fractional share investing

  • Daily automated buys

  • Lump sum buys during dips

  • Easy to screenshot and track

  • Perfect for beginners watching my journey



  1. Webull – The Private Portfolio


Webull is where I build long-term wealth in silence.

I don’t post about it. I don’t share numbers.

I use it to make bigger moves when the market gives me the chance.


If Robinhood is my case study, Webull is my retirement war chest.


I also use Webull to explore options trading and test more aggressive swing trades—privately and quietly.


Why I use it:


  • Extended trading hours

  • Cleaner charting tools

  • Good for options

  • Private long-term stacking



  1. Acorns – My Behavior Hack


Acorns isn’t a platform I expect to make me rich—but it’s a tool that builds discipline.


I connect it to my debit card and let it round up every transaction.

That spare change gets invested into a basic portfolio automatically.


It’s like a daily reminder that every dollar has a job.


Why I use it:


  • Forces discipline through automation

  • Helps new investors start small

  • Makes use of “wasted” money

  • Great for testing micro-investing habits
