Re: Retirement Wthdrawal Services
Definitely can be done by a FA with account access. MIL had this; BIL & I decided on a particular FA to manage her portfolio for family harmony (worth every penny for this reason), the FA really did well, ahead of overall market for the 8 years he managed portfolio after fees, (this included a loss on a Lehman bond). He did a lot of service by communicating to declining MIL and with BIL & I reviewing quarterly statements and all trades. He set up monthly withdrarals for each year and would have funds avialable for specific needs like big travel trip. Liked it enough that I ponder for wife's needs should I pass/decline its a toss up between this specific FA, VG Personal Services, or Charles Schwab.

Re: For people with EVs what do you for road trips?
I had an early BEV, a Ford Focus Electric, definitely not a road trip car-limited range, had a Ford Fusion Energi PHEV, loved it, no range limit and 70% of the time was electric, gone in an accident. Have a '23 Chevy Bolt, excellent car, OK on the road, good range and we will use it from LA to San Diego but not SF. WE have a Jeep Cherokee for road trips, very comfortable cruising and goes off road, carries kayaks and bicycles when we camp and it tows. Slept in it overnight at Burning Man, would not take an EV there. Right now I see the sweet spot is an EV around town and an ICE road car/SUV/pickup, ICE cars can be fairly efficient at continuous road speeds.

Re: Buy EV before my tax credit eligibility runs out? Which one?
Recently aquired (well, my wife did) a 2023 Chevy Bolt, really enjoying it. For around town I prefer it to a Tesla which I would have got for my wife if she wanted. GM paid for the charger install. If you plan to be on the road a lot the Tesla cars are good and the Tesla charging system (which will soom be avialable to Ford & GM) is a real resource. This is my 2nd EV and also had a PHEV, a Ford Fusion Energi. All in all the PHEVs are a good approach for those with limited home charging and never having to worry about charging on the road. Daughter in law has a Subaru PHEV and I love it. Some tax credits for the right PHEVs.

None of the above? With the funds needed in 6 years it seems like BND and intemediate bond funds would not have enough time to recover from possible losses if interest rates stay high and espically if they increase. I would look for a money market fund or a 5 yr CD as FI becasue of the term.
