Are you prepared for this exciting new chapter? Or perhaps you’ve already retired and are navigating the process of taking your Required Minimum Distributions. Wherever you are on your financial journey, these are important topics to consider and plan for thoughtfully.

Ask Paula

Dear Paula,


I hope this message finds you well. My spouse and I have been reviewing our retirement documents, and I believe I am eligible to begin taking required minimum distributions (RMDs) this year. 


I’d appreciate your help in understanding Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs), what they are, why they matter, and what choices we have regarding them. I’m also curious about the purpose behind these distributions and would value your advice on how we might consider investing the funds if we don’t need them for our current expenses.


Could you please let me know the best place to start? Any advice or insight you can share would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and assistance.


Best regards,

Jackson
