Get Started Investing · I made my first Investing mistake - here’s how to avoid it | Jess Gets Investing · 15 Jun 2026 podcast

The idea is if I buy at regular intervals, over the long term, I will end up getting the average.

So it depends on your investment platform about whether you can set up dividend reinvestment plans, depending on what you're investing in, so that if you get any money in the form of income, you can tell the system, oh, hey, if you receive money over this amount, could you please disperse it in this way?

That's helpful because then you know that there's not going to be large amounts of income potentially sat in your cash account in your investment platform, which often don't have high cash.

interest rate returns.

Yeah, I don't think mine has any.

Yeah, I don't think many of them have any.

So you don't want money sitting in there literally earning nothing unless it's a smaller amount and it's going to get gobbled up in fees.

So you can normally set a minimum or a threshold.

Every month I'm going to put $1,500 in.

Here's how I would like for you to disperse it.

So it just kind of depends which platform you're using and what functionality they have.

If you're using multiple ETFs and there's like one that goes gangbusters, which is great in theory, it just means that you're then over time going to be

overweight in terms of your target asset allocation.

So you just need to keep an eye on that.

But I think set up a transfer from your cash flow plan so that when you get paid, money automatically redirects into your investment platform.

Yeah, we don't want choice fatigue.

And Jess, when you get it right, and look, updating the cash flow automations, I think give yourself like a couple of months to

Get any teething issues kind of sorted because you want to make sure that $1,500 is actually what you can invest.

Because we don't want you to then pull it out a month later when you're like, oh, maybe I need that money back.

Once you've got it all sorted, you will feel like fairies have arrived to adult for you.
