Listen to the interview on the Business Innovators Radio Network: https://businessinnovatorsradio.com/interview-with-jay-forgione-owner-of-summit-retirement-solutions-discussing-retirement-planning-buckets/
Jay Forgione, owner of Summit Retirement Solutions. He dives into the concept of retirement planning buckets, a simplified approach designed to help clients navigate their financial futures without needing a financial background. Jay explains the three buckets-red, yellow, and green-each serving a unique purpose in retirement planning. Jay emphasizes the importance of having a clear plan for how to allocate funds for spending, investment, and safety.
The retirement planning bucket system is a structured approach to managing finances in retirement, designed to help individuals allocate their resources effectively to meet their needs and goals. This system consists of three distinct buckets: the Safety Bucket, the Income Bucket, and the Want Bucket. Each bucket serves a specific purpose and is tailored to different aspects of financial planning.
1. Safety Bucket (Red Bucket)
The Safety Bucket is primarily focused on emergencies and unexpected expenses. It provides a financial cushion that ensures individuals are prepared for unforeseen circumstances without having to liquidate investments or incur debt. This bucket is designated for emergency funds, such as home repairs, medical expenses, or any urgent financial needs that may arise. Typically, the Safety Bucket is not invested in aggressive assets. Instead, it consists of cash, money market accounts, or certificates of deposit (CDs) that are quick and liquid. A general rule of thumb is to allocate around 10% of one's portfolio to this bucket, although the exact percentage may vary based on individual circumstances and comfort levels.
2. Income Bucket (Green Bucket)
The Income Bucket is designed to cover essential living expenses during retirement. This bucket focuses on ensuring that retirees have a reliable income stream to meet their basic needs. It is intended to cover the "have to have" budget, which includes necessities such as food, clothing, shelter, and other essential expenses. The Income Bucket is filled with predictable income sources, such as Social Security benefits and pensions. Additionally, it may include investments that generate regular income, such as dividends or interest from bonds. It's crucial to account for inflation over time. Understanding how much money will be needed in the future is essential, as today's dollar will not have the same purchasing power in 20 or 30 years.
3. Want Bucket (Yellow Bucket)
The Want Bucket is focused on discretionary spending and investments. This bucket allows retirees to enjoy their retirement and pursue their desires without compromising their financial security. It is meant for the "I want" budget, which includes non-essential expenses such as travel, hobbies, and gifts for family members. The Want Bucket can be invested more aggressively since the funds are not needed for immediate expenses. This allows for potential growth over time, taking advantage of market fluctuations. This bucket can also be used for legacy planning, enabling retirees to leave behind financial gifts for their heirs or contribute to educational funds for grandchildren.
Jay Shared: "At Summit Retirement Solutions, we take a strategic, results-driven approach to your Retirement Journey. Our Philosophy is simple: Keep you on track and your goals clearly in focus."
