“One of the biggest mistakes I see people make is not understanding the Order of Money. When we're accumulating and building wealth, there's an order to how we should save that money between different account types. And when we retire, there's a certain order to how we should take distributions.”

-Dave Alison, CFP®, EA, BPC
