## Resource

Is it true that the government could potentially raid retirement or savings accounts for additional tax revenue? And if so, how do we protect ourselves? Once I start taking RMDs, am I required to withdraw the same amount on the same date every year? And is real estate as an investment really a good plan for supplemental income during retirement? David Brooks has answers to these questions in today’s Q&A episode.
