Which income streams are required to go into the Core Cash account?

• A. Salary, Interest, Dividends
• B. RMDs, Investment Income, Social Security
• C. Pensions, Alimony, Scholarships
• D. Rental income, Royalties, Inheritance

Answer: (B)

Core Cash is the bucket for predictable, spendable income used to cover near-term expenses. RMDs provide a fixed schedule of withdrawals from retirement accounts, giving regular cash flow. Social Security offers a steady, reliable monthly income for many retirees. Investment income, including interest and dividends, is cash that you can readily use for daily needs and tends to be consistently generated from your investments. Together, these provide dependable, near-term resources to fund regular spending without dipping into longer-term assets. Other income streams can be more variable or less guaranteed for day-to-day needs—for example, salary depends on ongoing work status, rental income can fluctuate with vacancies, alimony or scholarships may be irregular or temporary, and inheritance is not predictable.
