The Three Bucket Strategy for Retirement Planning

The podcast episode discusses the three bucket strategy for retirement planning. The strategy involves dividing assets into three categories. Bucket one is emergency savings and liquid assets, which cover operating expenses for one to three years. Bucket two consists of medium-term holdings that can be accessed in the three to five-year timeframe for expenses such as helping family members, car repairs, or dream holidays. Bucket three is for long-term holdings with higher risk investments, such as stocks and funds, meant to last for decades. The three bucket strategy allows for allocation according to risk tolerance and ensures liquidity and growth potential while protecting against downside risk.
