Should I become a bigger pockets pro now! Or should I wait till I have more knowledge on investing?

It depends. Look at the features and see how they support your goals. Many of us with Pro subscriptions like the additional features that help us promote our businesses. I use mine to post events that I host in my hometown and help people find resources.

@Jill F.

Yeah I think I’m in the same boat as you, I think I’ll wait till I have a sold foundation for my business or the least taking action for my business.

Thank you for your time.

@Joseph D Chapman one of the main reasons I upgraded to a Pro account was for the unlimited calculator usages. Once you’re really ready to buy or at least start seriously looking and practicing running numbers I would say the calculators alone make it worth it!

@Joseph D Chapman

The calculators help to start but after a while you realize you’re paying a lot for just a calculator. I ended up making my own spreadsheet that does the same thing. If you have a business then the $40 a month is probably worth it, but I wasn’t getting any value outside of the calculators so I dropped back down. Your mileage may vary.

@Joseph D Chapman

That's an interesting way to word the question. PRO accounts in no way equal the amount of knowledge or experience the user has. If information is your goal, a library card or an audible subscription is by far the best money you can put on the table. If you need the added benefits that PRO provides and they will add to your income then pull the trigger.

Hope that helps!

@Joseph D Chapman I am a fan of jumping all the way in. Sign up for Pro, you will not regret it! Worst case is that you try it out for a year, see if the value is worth it for you. If it is not yielding what you thought it would, then do not resign for it next year.
