I do something similar which is no surprise since my daughter works for Charles Schwab. That is...all interest/dividends/distributions from my taxible M Funds goes to my cash account since I have to pay taxes.
I reinvest all interest/dividends/distributions in my IRA which is tax deferred since that money is not realized. My RMD will also go to my cash account and I use my cash account to enjoy my retirement.
Specifically I am hooked on 6 months Airbnb rentals in Hawaii, Europe and other exotic vacation hotspots. 6 days of overseas vacations while I was working was not enough. 6 months of overseas vacations while I am retired works for me.
