How to Set Up Bucket One- Season 7: Episode 5
The basic idea of a Buckets strategy involves taking portfolio distributions from a non-volatile source: what we call Bucket #1.

But does this mean that you need to have several years’ worth of cash sitting around to make sure it’s there when you need it? The short answer is no – you just need to “bucketize” the bucket. But how do you do that? It’s not as simple as it seems.
