You have to take the RMD. How you take it is more flexible than it looks.

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗮 𝗳𝗲𝘄 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗜 𝘄𝗮𝗹𝗸 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗲𝘀.

If you give to your church or a charity, part of your RMD can go straight from your IRA to them. It counts toward your RMD and stays out of your taxable income. You need to be at least 70½, and the money has to go directly to a qualified charity.

You can choose when to take it. All at once, monthly, or later in the year, as long as it's out by the deadline.

You can have taxes withheld right from the withdrawal, so April doesn't bring a surprise bill.

And the part you don't need can be reinvested. It can't go back into the IRA or be converted to a Roth, but it can still be put to work.

None of these is right for everyone. But required doesn't mean automatic.

So I don't try to guess when the next drop is coming. I'd rather make sure it doesn't wreck anyone's retirement when it does.

𝗔𝘁 𝟱𝟱, a bad year in the market is an inconvenience. You're still working, still adding money, and you've got time to wait it out.

𝗔𝘁 𝟲𝟴, it's a different story. You might be pulling from that same account every month to cover the bills. Picture a 25% drop right when you need that money to live on. (Illustrative example.)

And recoveries don't run on a schedule. Some have come back in months. Some have taken years.

Picture two retirees. Same savings. Same market high.

The first has about two years of spending covered by Social Security, a pension, and cash set aside.

The second pulls every monthly check straight from investments.

Then the market drops 25%.

The first keeps living normally. The bills get paid from the cushion, and the investments get a chance to recover.

The second has to sell every month, at lower prices, just to cover groceries and the electric bill.

Same savings. A very different year.

The market won't send a warning before it turns. But you can decide now which of those two retirees you'll be.

Six boxes. Take ten seconds and count how many you'd check today.

A healthy savings balance can still leave a few of these empty. That's normal.

The empty ones are usually where the most useful planning conversation starts.

For a lot of retirees, they don't.

Every dollar you take from a traditional 401(k) or IRA counts as taxable income.

Once RMDs start, you have to take money out whether you need it or not.

And as your other income goes up, up to 85% of your Social Security can become taxable too.

So some retirees land in the same bracket they had while working. Some land higher.

That's why I like to see 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘁𝗮𝘅 𝗯𝘂𝗰𝗸𝗲𝘁 before retirement starts.

Money you haven't paid tax on yet.

Money you've already paid tax on.

Money that may come out tax-free later.

When you have all three, you can choose where each year's income comes from. That choice can make a real difference in what you owe.

Life insurance policy loans and withdrawals may be income-tax-free when the policy is properly structured and maintained.

Loans reduce cash value and death benefit and may cause the policy to lapse.

The call usually comes on an ordinary weekday.

Dad fell. He's going to be okay. But he can't go home alone.

Within a few days, the family is deciding who pays for help, which account to use, and what Mom needs to keep the house running.

Plenty of families believe they have this covered. The graphic shows five assumptions that tend to fall apart right when it matters.

No one hands you a guidebook for retirement.

Most retirees spend years preparing financially — then retirement arrives, and the questions start changing.

How should retirement income be generated?
What happens when RMDs begin?
How do taxes fit into the picture?
What if future care needs become part of the plan?

There's no right or wrong answer, but we're curious:

As a retiree, what's been more challenging than you expected?

1️⃣ Creating reliable retirement income
2️⃣ Managing taxes and RMDs
3️⃣ Planning for future care needs
4️⃣ Knowing what to do first

Cast your vote below. 👇

We'd love to see what challenges retirees are facing most right now.

10/01/2026

You took the withdrawal. Nothing seemed unusual about it.

Then your tax return came back higher than you expected. And a notice said your Medicare premium was going up.

"Why am I paying more than last year?"

Often the answer traces back to a withdrawal you'd already forgotten about.

A larger IRA withdrawal or RMD adds to your taxable income. That can make more of your Social Security taxable. And Medicare looks back two years at your income when it sets your premiums.

So a withdrawal you took in 2024 may be the reason your Medicare bill changed in 2026.

None of this shows up the day you take the money out. It shows up months, sometimes years, later.

That's why I'd rather plan next year's withdrawals before they happen than explain this year's bill after it arrives.
