Investing in Mutual Funds on Robinhood: A Hilarious (But Ultimately Pointless) Guide**

QuickTip: Keep a notepad handy.![]()

But hey, humor us! Let's pretend Robinhood DOES offer mutual funds. Buckle up, because this hilarious journey is about to take a sharp turn into...

Step 2: Research, Research, Research (and Maybe Cry a Little)
Since Robinhood doesn't offer mutual funds, we're venturing into the wild world of other brokerages. It's like choosing a new streaming service – overwhelming options, analysis paralysis, and the existential dread of missing out on the next Squid Game.

Here are some hilarious (and totally irrelevant) tips for picking a new brokerage:
- Does their mascot look trustworthy? Bonus points for squirrels in tiny suits.
- Do they offer free pizza on Fridays? Hunger is a great motivator (and distraction).
- Can you name their CEO off the top of your head? If not, who cares, really?

Now that you've chosen a totally-not-Robinhood brokerage, it's time to invest! Remember, responsible investing is key. But hey, if you're feeling frisky, here are some hilarious (and terrible) investment strategies:
- The Kardashian Method: Invest in whatever they're shilling on Instagram. Guaranteed returns (of laughter, at least).
- The Meme Magic: Dump your life savings into DogeCoin. To the moon! (Or more likely, the gutter.)
- The Blind Squirrel Strategy: Close your eyes, spin around three times, and point at the first mutual fund you see. You might even get lucky! (Although, statistically, you're more likely to get struck by lightning while riding a unicycle.)
Step 4: Bask in the Glory (or Cry Yourself to Sleep)
You've done it! You've (pretend-)invested in mutual funds (on a non-Robinhood platform). Now, sit back, relax, and watch your portfolio magically grow (or hilariously implode). Remember, investing is a marathon, not a sprint. Unless you're using the Meme Magic strategy, then it's more like a clown car crash on a rollercoaster.

I mean, other brokerages.
