In this episode we answer emails from MyContactInfo and Chris.  We follow up on Episode 251 with a taxonomy of five withdrawal strategies described in an article from the CFA institute and discuss a "not really a withdrawal strategy" that is classified as a form of mental accounting and does not impact safe withdrawal rates (at least not in a positive manner).  We talk about how to classify annuities, bond ladders and portfolio-based withdrawal strategies.  And we thank Chris and our other charitable donors for their support.
