📚 Retirement comes with a whole new vocabulary, and RMD is one term that's worth getting familiar with.
A Required Minimum Distribution, or RMD, is the amount the IRS generally requires people to withdraw each year from certain retirement accounts once they reach the applicable age. Those withdrawals can have tax implications, which is why it's helpful to understand how they fit into your overall retirement income strategy before they're due.
The more you understand the rules, the better prepared you'll be to make informed decisions when the time comes.
