  • The 3-Bucket Retirement Withdrawal Strategy https://youtu.be/kfmVvVX_uo4
    Basic idea is dividing investments into 3 buckets, all with specific purpose and goals tied to them

    • First bucket: 2-5 years’ expenses, cash, money market, “certain kinds” of bonds (kinds unspecified)
    • Second bucket: needed within 5-10 years, unspecified investments
    • Third bucket: needed more than 10 years out, stock mutual funds, real estate, unspecified “alternative” investments

    • Be careful with withdrawal percentages, if start when market in down, can change maths drastically
    • Be careful with assumed returns (12%…!),  very much depend on market…
    • Watch out for changed expenses (not $40/yr but $45k/yr), (and unexpected expenses – me)
