Royal Caribbean Mojo Menu - Strawberry, Kiwi and Pineapple Medley

Royal Caribbean’s main dining room menu rotates nightly through an assortment of themes that are shared across their ships, usually coordinated with the ports they are sailing to and the tastes of the main demographics on board the ships.

What power converter do you need when travelling from Australia to Japan?

by

This is an important question and can actually be a bit confusing because, in Australia, all our power outlets have a ground even if the appliance doesn’t use it.

New Found Money Merchants on Raiz (Previously Acorns Australia)

by

I’ve just been skimming through the Found Money participating merchants on Raiz (previously Acorns Australia) and have noticed a few new ones have joined the ranks over the last couple of months.

It’s the first time I’ve ever gotten food from them, and I consider myself really lucky to be staying within walking distance of their store. Soul Burger does 100% vegan food in your typical diner style burgers with … Read more

What the F is an ETF?!?!

by
ETF

I’ve blogged about Raiz (previously Acorns Australia) a few times now, and in some of those blogs, I make mention of ETF’s. Now, if I’m completely honest, I had to go and look it up myself to find out what ETF stands for and what an ETF actually is. It’s something that gets thrown around a lot on investment platforms like Acorns and within investment circles in general. Acorns and similar platforms make share-trading, bonds and the money market accessible for the everyday low-budget investor. Within the investment portfolio’s of these platforms, there are often ETF’s. In fact, Acorns portfolios are made up exclusively of ETF’s.
