In this episode, I break down the basics of RMDs, explaining how they are calculated and the importance of planning ahead. You'll want to make a note of these four key strategies to reduce your RMDs and ensure a smoother financial journey as you transition into retirement.

From starting withdrawals before the age threshold to considering Roth conversions and qualified charitable distributions, we share practical insights to help you navigate these financial waters.
