Cash Flow Planning
Liquidity Management
Distribution tracking, withdrawal strategies, RMD management, contribution optimization, and liquidity bucketing.
"A dollar withdrawn from your Roth at 70 is worth far more than a dollar withdrawn at 65. Sequence matters for after-tax wealth."
Portfolio management isn't just about growing assets - it's about managing cash flows. Retirees need systematic withdrawals. High earners make regular contributions. Everyone has distributions (dividends, interest, capital gains) flowing in and taxes flowing out.
The order you withdraw from accounts matters enormously for after-tax wealth. Generally: taxable first (to preserve tax-advantaged compounding), then tax-deferred (IRA, 401k), then Roth (tax-free). But RMDs, Roth conversions, and tax bracket management complicate the picture.
In this topic, you'll learn to track cash flows, plan withdrawals tax-efficiently, manage RMDs, and maintain appropriate liquidity without cash drag.

Withdrawal order matters: generally taxable, then tax-deferred, then Roth
RMDs are mandatory at 73 (2024+) - plan for them, don't get surprised
Excess cash creates drag - sweep uninvested cash into short-term investments
Contributions are rebalancing opportunities - direct new money to underweight positions
Liquidity bucketing (emergency, 1-year, growth) provides peace of mind
