Spend It
- Everyday Expenses: The most common use is putting the funds toward your standard living costs or supplementing your Social Security and pension income. [1, 2]
- Pay Down Debt: Eliminating remaining debts, such as a mortgage, HELOC, or high-interest loans, can permanently lower your monthly expenses. [1]
- Treat Yourself: Once essential expenses and taxes are covered, you can use the funds to upgrade your lifestyle or fund a vacation. [1, 2]
Reinvest It
- Taxable Brokerage Accounts: You cannot return RMD funds directly to your retirement accounts, but you can reinvest the cash into a standard brokerage account to keep your money working for you. [1]
- Liquid Savings: Stashing excess funds in a high-yield savings account or CD allows you to maintain an emergency cash cushion. [1, 2]
- 529 Education Plans: If you don’t need the income, you can use these funds to contribute to a child’s or grandchild’s tax-advantaged college savings plan. [1, 2]
