In this video, Colin Exelby, CFP® explains the most common RMD mistake 84% of people might be making—taking only the minimum withdrawal—why it's happening, and how it could quietly cost you thousands in taxes and missed opportunities.

You'll learn how RMDs are calculated, the tax implications of growing account balances, and when it might make sense to take more than the minimum. We also cover tax-efficient strategies like Roth conversions and reinvesting in non-retirement accounts, plus how to avoid IRMAA surcharges and leaving a smarter legacy for your heirs.

Whether you're nearing retirement or already there, this video will help you take control of your distribution plan, optimize for tax efficiency, and make the most of your retirement years.
