Lookback: 1 year

take a fixed amount less than 5% from the start

I considered taking $35,000/year from my IRA, but calculators suggested I'd have to take $36,187.34 from the start

What I wish I knew
"calculators can provide a more accurate estimate of required distributions"
If I could tell you one thing
"consider using calculators to determine required distributions before making a decision"

Positive or neutral outcome.
