It seems obvious once I thought about it, but: if you have multiple retirement accounts and get to the point where you have to take required minimum distributions, you have to take distributions from all your separate accounts.

Doesn’t seem obvious to me.

That’s confusing… because do you? What if it’s the total amount and you have to take a distribution percentage but it doesn’t matter which account the money comes from?

This is what my friend who works for T. Rowe Price just told me! I guess the accounts don’t know what other accounts you have, so you have to take whatever percentage of each of them.

that’s cool and makes sense, it is bridge technology after all, and bridges have those expansion gaps.

I’m sad that I knew this because of my horrible Physics class. I hate when we learn things that are interesting and it proves to me that it might actually be useful material and not a complete waste of my time

Marguerite Henry wrote a book about him that I owned when I was a kid.

“On the other hand, this could very well be a ‘fad’ between the animals where others temporarily pick up a behaviour displayed by one or two individuals before abandoning it.”
Scientists with their jargon. “Fad”!

I literally just saw that book at a yard sale this morning. There were a few great old kids’ books!
I came here to post:
My kid has a couple of books about animals that include the “macaroni penguin.” I wondered if it was called that because it looks like it stuck a feather in its cap and called it macaroni… and yeah! At least it’s the same macaroni being referenced!
I was going to be so disappointed if it was named after some guy called Macaroni.
