How Beth manages her funds in 2013.

Long-term Savings
Unexpected Needs
Immediate Fixed Needs

  • The balances in the IRA and 401(k) accounts can continue accumulate interest (if any) and are available for future needs.

  • The CDs and U.S. Treasuries originally set aside for unexpected needs in 2005 are depleted.
  • Since Beth is now age 71, she must begin distributions from her IRA and 401(k). Beth selects to receive the minimum amount. Beth uses the minimum distributions to purchase CDs to have on hand for unexpected needs.

    Social Securities and pension income continue to fund current needs.
  • The cash originally allocated for current needs in 2005 has also run out.
  • Beth draws a small lump sum from her IRA and purchases an annuity to provide another monthly income stream to pay for current needs.
