I we transition from a pre-retirement accumulation stage to a post-retirement spending stage, I am evaluating our funds and have started to take dividends in cash (flowing into a money market account) for some of them. I have started to do this with a couple of non-index funds that I have owned for a while and do not feel a need to keep accumulating shares in them. While doing this I am also managing how much cash I get from dividends, as part of my current overall strategy of maintaining enough cash for our SWR before SS to not worry about being forced to sell in times of market volatility.
