Appreciation post: I thought the zero commission hype was just a marketing trap, but after tracking my trades for 3 months, my costs were actually 15% lower with the new platform.

Has anyone else switched from a big-name broker to one of these newer apps and been genuinely surprised by the real savings?

My buddy saved a ton, he was shocked.

It's wild how we get used to paying a certain amount for things. You just accept the price creep until you finally shop around, and then the savings feel like a mistake. That shock is basically our normal meter getting reset.

That "normal meter reset" really hits home, it's like realizing you've been overpaying for years without even knowing it.
