- Required minimum distributions (RMDs) are the minimum amount you must withdraw from certain retirement accounts annually, generally kicking in at age 73 (or 75 if born in 1960 or later). If you don’t need your RMD for bills, consider reinvesting it in a long-term investment.

- Invest in education for grandchildren, do something kind for yourself in retirement, and explore options to make the most of your RMDs.
