There are way to many other parameters involved then what they look at so like most simple calculators it is pretty useless

We will have to wait and see. They might keep the same RMD schedule. It will help some for sure.

They really can’t , as rmds are scheduled the way they are to exhaust the account ..that is why they went to an accelerated schedule with qlacs

Taxes are one of those parameters these simple calculators fail to look at as the ss gets combined with other resources

I agree. I'm getting a nice bump at age 70 when I go from Survivor Benefits to my own record but I'm figuring most of it will go to pay taxes on RMDs. That may change now, too, of course, but regardless of whether the RMD age changes or the % withdrawal requirement changes, I know I'm gonna owe more taxes. In the happy event that I actually have money left over I'll figure out what to do with it then.

Sounds very nice. Did you have a spouse that was an EU citizen? Or some connection yourself? How long did it take to get a long-stay resident visa for Greece?

I have a friend who decided to retire to Portugal, but he was married to a woman from Brazil who spoke Portuguese, making for an easier transition.

From what I've read, the changes will favor retirees (later required age means longer to accumulate funds, for example). Don't know about any withdrawal changes being proposed at this point. Will be interesting to see what happens.
