What do you get when you mix checking, savings, and investing…all with no fees and solid interest? According to the internet (and the comments on my most popular video), it might just be the Fidelity Cash Management Account. In this episode, I’m breaking down why so many people are ditching traditional banks for this all-in-one setup, and what you need to know before making the switch.

We’ll walk through what a Cash Management Account actually is, how Fidelity’s version stands out, and the exact features that make it a legit alternative to your checking account. You’ll learn how to avoid fees, access cash worldwide, and even unlock a higher yield by switching your account’s core position to a money market fund like SPAXX.

If you’re tired of earning nothing on your cash or bouncing between bank apps, this episode is your guide to simplifying and supercharging your money. Listen in and find out why Fidelity’s CMA might be your financial home base for 2026.
