One last thing – are you turning a key milestone age in 2023? 

If you are turning age 50… You may begin to make catch-up contributions to retirement plans.

If you are turning age 55… You may begin making catch-up contributions to HSAs and can potentially utilize early retirement distribution provisions, if applicable.

If you are turning age 70½ … You may begin making QCDs from your retirement accounts.

If you are turning age 72… You will now need to take RMDs from certain retirement accounts.

While this is a great time of the year to slow things down and focus on family, friends, and traditions, we also must be intentional about putting the bows on key money moves.

We wish all of you a very happy holiday season and look forward to serving you in 2023.

Our best,

Richard, Emily, Tracy, Danielle, Shona, and Kris
