Bucket Strategy for Retirement

Description

The three-bucket system is a way to organise retirement money by when you will need it. The lessons explain the idea and then show how to map your expected expenses and income sources. You build the three buckets in turn: an immediate needs bucket for the first five years, a medium-term security bucket, and a long-term growth bucket.

Later lessons cover choosing your own allocation, monitoring and rebalancing over time, adapting to market changes and life events, and avoiding common mistakes. Worksheets and checklists appear in several PDFs, and you can print them to fill in your own figures. This is educational material and not personal financial advice.

Who it is for: people planning for retirement who want a structured way to organise their savings.
