RMD Age Is Now Higher – But Should You Really Delay Your IRA Distributions?- Episode 122

As of 2023, the age when you must begin taking Required Minimum Distributions from your IRAs has been increased. This means you may have as many as three extra years to allow your savings to grow tax deferred.

This may sound like a great idea: why pay taxes now when you can delay the inevitable for at least a little while longer?  But the answer to this question isn’t so simple.  Is it always better to delay paying taxes until you’re required to do so, or could you potentially be better off by taking distributions well ahead of when you’re mandated?

Get some answers from podcast host Johnny Dean and his guest, “Professor” Rick Plum, CFP® on this week’s episode of Managing Your Financial Future!
