Mastering Financial Freedom: The Three-Bucket Strategy for Coast FIRE

In this episode of The Retire Early Retire Now podcast, host Hunter Kelly, a certified financial planner, discusses the concept of Coast FIRE (Financial Independence Retire Early) and introduces the three-bucket strategy as a practical approach to achieving financial independence. Hunter explains the importance of balancing short-term security, mid-term flexibility, and long-term retirement independence through the use of three distinct financial buckets: the emergency fund, the brokerage account, and retirement accounts. Each bucket serves a specific purpose, from providing immediate financial security to offering flexibility for early retirement or career changes, and ensuring long-term financial stability. Kelley also shares real-life examples and emphasizes the importance of planning and structuring investments to meet Coast FIRE goals while maintaining financial freedom and security. Listeners are encouraged to leave a five-star review, share the podcast, and reach out to Kelley for personalized financial advice.
