If you’re someone who’s trying to take control of your financial future, especially as a frum parent thinking long-term, this oneโs for you.
In this episode of Letโs Talk Business, Meny Hoffman welcomes back Chaim Tauber, a financial coach who previously broke down money mindset and savings. This time, they dive into the how, not the theory, but the actual step-by-step of opening a Fidelity account, setting up multiple accounts for simchas like weddings and bar mitzvahs, and investing responsibly for the long term.
This episode is for people who donโt want to โget rich quick,โ but want to save with strategy and purpose.
We walk through the full process: opening an account, choosing between brokerage and retirement options, setting up recurring transfers, linking your bank, and investing into a low-cost index fund like FXAIX (which mirrors the S&P 500).

Practical Pointers:
Start small โ even $10 a week can grow with consistency.
Use nicknames in each account so you know what every dollar is for.
Automate everything โ from funding to investing โ so you stay consistent.
Donโt touch the account. Treat it like it doesnโt exist.
Invest only money you wonโt need for at least 5โ10 years.
