Question: I have to take a $22,000 RMD by the end of the year, and I don't need the money. What should I do with it?
Answer: The nice thing about saving for retirement in a traditional IRA or 401(k) is getting to enjoy an immediate tax break on your contributions. And if you found yourself in a higher tax bracket during your career, a traditional retirement account probably made more sense for you than a Roth.
