Life is full of milestone expenses—weddings, tuition, dream vacations, and unexpected surprises. Too often, people raid their investments, derail long-term plans, or pile up credit card debt to cover them. But there’s a better way.
Buckets of Freedom introduces a clear, technical yet approachable system designed for hobbyist investors who want to enjoy life’s events without sabotaging their financial future. You’ll discover how to create dedicated “cash buckets” that act as safety nets for major life expenses. From structuring timelines and calculating savings rates to balancing liquidity with opportunity cost, this book shows you exactly how to plan with confidence.
Forget scrambling when big expenses arrive—this system ensures you’ll have the money set aside, ready to go, while your investments keep compounding untouched.
If you want clarity, control, and confidence to handle life’s milestones without financial stress, this guide is your essential playbook.
