The Secret to Winning With Money That No One Likes To Talk About (feat. Stacey Zrihen)

Living the life of an Orthodox Jew in the 21st Century often necessitates a very significant income. Unfortunately, many are struggling to keep up.
The Problem Is Bigger Than We Realize The cost of life for an Orthodox family with children can range from $150,000 to $350,000 or more, depending on city and schools of choice, lifestyle choices and number of children.
The median income in America is $68,000 per family.
This means that a family would potentially need to be in the top 5% of all income earners in the United States simply to get by!
The Solution Solving this challenge begins with an open dialogue to create awareness and education and allowing for impactful feedback and interaction.
Kosher Money aims to be a pivotal piece in creating this much-needed conversation.
Eli Langer was the former CNBC Social Media Producer and is currently the CEO of Harvesting Media. Each week, Eli sits down with experts to discuss various topics.

The Hasidic Man Who Created Millions Out of Nothing | KOSHER MONEY

According to a 2021 study, the wealthiest 400 billionaire families in the United States paid an average federal individual tax rate of just 8.2 percent.
For comparison, the average American taxpayer in the same year paid 13 percent.
So, what do the rich know that you don't?
For one, the rich are proactive tax planners.
Me? You? We're reactive when it comes to our taxes.
We pay AFTER the fact when there's so much we could've done ahead of time to help us keep more of the money we make.
We sat with Elliot Pepper who has got a heck of a lot of initials after his name. He helps people plan their financial futures through ACTIONABLE and PROACTIVE tax planning and preparation.
