## Resource

Your U.S. accounts might be bleeding money and you don't even feel it. If you're an American living in Israel with an old I.R.A. here, a brokerage account there, and a bank account you forgot about somewhere else, you could be losing thousands of dollars a year in forgone interest without a single red flag on your statements. Doug Goldstein breaks down why "nothing went wrong" is not the same as "everything is fine," and gives you one simple step to find out if your accounts still match your life. Stop letting old decisions run the show. Four minutes. One idea. Real money.
