Did you know that before 1981, the concept of an IRA or 401(k) didn’t even exist for the average worker? For decades, retirement "planning" in our community often meant a savings account with zero growth—or literally hiding cash in a mattress.

The Power of Time: A single $7,500 investment at birth could theoretically hit $1M by age 65 (at 7.8% growth). Open Conversations: What used to be "taboo" is now a standard WhatsApp chat topic. Eli’s latest piece for @JewishAction explores why being "smart with money" is finally mainstream. #money" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">jewishaction.com/cover-story/fo…
