Deep dives

Understanding the Bucket Method

The bucket method is a savings strategy that categorizes money based on specific financial goals. Instead of placing all savings into a single account, this approach segments funds into different 'buckets' for targeted purposes like vacations, emergencies, or investments. By clarifying what each portion of your savings is for, individuals can remain organized and maintain a more stress-free financial life. This organization also simplifies the automation of savings, enabling users to contribute effortlessly to various goals.
