In this TGIF Two Girls Investing Friday episode, Jess & Colleen chat about lingering winter weather and concerns about snowmelt flooding. They share embarrassing money stories, including late-night postpartum purchases, which leads into a discussion on how small app charges and forgotten subscriptions can add up. They recommend regularly reviewing phone subscriptions and note that companies may refund accidental renewals. They also discuss saving money through meal planning, highlighting the Mob app that builds grocery lists from selected recipes, and mention online grocery shopping for budget control. Finally, they address recent market volatility tied to disrupted oil supply during a war in Iran, emphasizing long-term investing, dollar-cost averaging, buying opportunities during corrections, mindset and language shifts ("down" vs. "lost"), risk tolerance, diversification, and teasing future episodes on starting with Wealthsimple, beginner mistakes, and money myths.00:00 Podcast Welcome00:34 Back After A Break00:44 Cold Weather Catch Up01:37 Embarrassing Money Story04:52 App Spending Adds Up07:15 Meal Planning App Hack09:39 Grocery Shopping Strategies10:41 Market Dip And Mindset11:39 Stop Predicting Markets12:31 Volatility Is Normal13:48 Stay the Course14:19 Headlines and Fear15:16 Mindset and Language17:21 Time Horizon and Diversification19:43 Risk Tolerance Check20:41 Market Manipulation Talk24:22 Buy the Dip Mindset25:03 Next Episodes and Wrap
