    STORIES & ADVICE FROM JAXON FORGE

    Why most people get crushed by RMDs — and how the disciplined few turn them into a wealth weapon.

    I’ve watched high earners pull six and seven figures only to watch the IRS force them to take out more than they need — triggering massive tax bills and killing their compounding engine.

    Comfort masquerading as “retirement planning.” That’s the silent killer. Real wealth builders treat RMDs like any other system: you master the rules so the rules don’t master you.

    Use this calculator. Stay ahead. Keep forging.
