Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) could force you to withdraw as much as 15% of your retirement account balance in a single year.
But do RMDs really put you at risk of outliving your money?
Why does the IRS expect you to live so much longer than the Social Security Administration does?
And what proactive steps can you take before age 73 to avoid giving the IRS more than its fair share?
In this episode, I'm unpacking:
‣ How RMDs are actually calculated
‣ Why the IRS tables are more conservative than most people realize
‣ The pros and cons of using RMDs to build a dynamic withdrawal strategy
I'm also sharing tax planning tips and strategies for navigating your RMDs.
If you're concerned about how RMDs might impact your retirement plan—or you're looking to optimize your tax situation before they kick in—this episode is for you.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
