My husband will be 78 in a month. He has a 401k and several IRA CDs. The 401k is paying a steady 5%, where the CDs are paying less than 2%.
In the past we took the easy way out and let each institution decide what his minimum distribution needed to be. I'm sure we took out more than necessary as a result.
We'd like to take it all from the CDs this year.
How do we calculate the amount? I am 15 years younger than my husband.
Thanks.
