Need cash fast in retirement? Don't get stuck selling stocks at the worst time or scrambling with currency conversions. If your money’s locked away in long-term accounts, it might look good on paper—but won’t help much when life throws you a curveball. This episode dives into the surprisingly overlooked topic of liquidity—what it is, why it matters, and how to make sure your money is actually there when you need it.

Whether you're living in Israel, spending in shekels, or managing U.S. accounts from afar, you'll learn how to build a flexible, stress-free financial setup that gives you options—not headaches. Say goodbye to panic-selling and hello to peace of mind.

Key takeaways and action points:

Liquidity = freedom. Without it, you're stuck.
Avoid costly mistakes by keeping cash ready for surprises.
Split your emergency funds between shekels and dollars.
Top off your cash reserves when the markets are strong.
