For retired folks - using RMD’s for bucket list cruises and travel - is this something folks do?

Hi everyone! My husband and I were having a fun conversation about what to do with our RMD dollars when they start coming in during retirement (we are 5 years out so it’s just a fun question, not advice).

We both love to take cruises, just travel in general and manage to get in a couple of trips a year now (he’s retired now at 67 and I’ll retire next year at 64) and I commented that since the RMD age is 73, I wondered if that’s one of the reasons why you see so many lovely older folks on long cruises out seeing the world - they basically have all this extra money coming in starting at age 73 and they are spending it traveling which I think is a great idea 😃

He suggested I posted it here on Reddit to see if that’s actually a thing and if people are actually doing this in the real world!
