Got a dozen retirement accounts and no idea what to do with them? You’re not alone. In this episode of Rayna Retirement, Rayna Reyes breaks down the concept of rollovers, required minimum distributions (RMDs), and the art of simplifying your financial life — especially for federal employees.
Rayna uses relatable analogies (yes, there’s coffee, mugs, and even Hank Williams) to explain how rolling over your money from one account to another can help you gain more control, reduce taxes, and plan more effectively for the future — without triggering immediate tax consequences. She also explores the difference between traditional and Roth accounts, explains why account consolidation can make life easier for your heirs, and reminds you to plan for both the expected and the unexpected.
If your retirement strategy looks like a game of financial Tetris, this episode will help you align your blocks and clear a path to clarity and peace of mind.
