When people are in retirement or closer to retirement, the accessibility of money goes up. So, what does that mean when you have to take out RMDs? How do you know if you have too much money in the bank? Talking through this with an advisor might help you make the right next steps with your money. We also talk about what mistakes people are prone to make if they try to DIY their retirement planning without a financial advisor.
