You’ve saved for retirement for years and now you’re quickly approaching the age when you can start converting those investments into regular income. But, how do you even know where to start?

With tax season approaching, you may have retirement withdrawals on the brain. When you reach retirement it may be difficult to sort through your options, especially when your savings are across multiple account types, such as 401(k)s, traditional IRAs, Roth accounts and taxable savings like brokerage or savings accounts.

Connect with other investors online who are going through similar life events at AAII’s new integrated special interest groups (SIGs). These groups allow AAII members to take advantage of a “collective investor brain” and discuss pertinent topics like retirement withdrawals, allocation strategies, income investing, stock screening and more. Within the AAII Community, you can find the group that fits your individual needs and goals.

Whether you are a beginning or seasoned investor, have one subscription or the complete AAII Platinum package, finding the right way for you to take retirement withdrawals and make other important retirement investing decisions can be overwhelming.
