The Bucket Strategy: Our Retirement Planning Guide (Brian's Take)

Brian Wiley dives deep into one of the most effective investment strategies for retirement: bucket-based investing. Using a fictional scenario, Brian explains how blending goal-based and cash-flow planning can help retirees organize their assets into three key buckets—stable, income, and growth. He walks through their $1.3M portfolio, their $6,000/month retirement income needs, and how to align investments with real-life goals like buying an RV or planning for early retirement. Brian shows how this simple system empowers investors to manage market volatility, reduce emotional decisions, and retire with clarity.
