Jess returns from a short hiatus with updates on her upcoming house purchase, complex tax preparations, and plans to record her music. The conversation shifts to credit card points strategies. Jess explains why she prefers a card with no foreign transaction fees and maximizes value by redeeming points for travel instead of statement credits. Jess and Colleen note the importance of paying off the balance every month. Finally, they tackle common beginner investing mistakes like emotional trading and chasing fast returns through individual stocks. They recommend replacing those mistakes with proven long-term habits: relying on diversified ETFs, dollar-cost averaging, automating investments, and prioritizing time in the market.00:00 Jess Returns Update00:42 Taxes And House Prep01:26 Studio Plans Postponed02:09 Songwriting Journey03:08 Credit Card Points 05:20 Redeeming Points Smartly07:25 Beginner Investing Mistakes07:49 Stocks And ETFs15:13 Time In Market DCA16:50 Wrap Up And Next Episode
