Pete Tychsen, president and founder of Preservation Financial Group, discusses the importance of having a balanced retirement strategy. Pete shares his journey into the financial services industry, which began after graduating from Florida State University in 1986. With a passion for helping individuals manage their finances and prepare for retirement, Pete introduces his innovative three-bucket strategy designed to create a well-rounded retirement plan.  

A balanced retirement strategy is essential for ensuring financial security during retirement. One effective method to achieve this is by dividing assets into three distinct buckets, each serving a specific purpose. This approach helps retirees manage their income needs while also allowing for growth potential. Here’s a closer look at the three buckets:  

1. The Blue bucket: Designed to meet immediate income requirements. This bucket typically contains low-risk, liquid investments, such as checking and savings accounts. The primary goal of the blue bucket is to provide readily accessible funds to cover day-to-day expenses and unexpected costs without the need to sell investments at a loss during market downturns. Provides peace of mind and financial stability, allowing retirees to avoid the stress of market fluctuations.
2. The Green Bucket: The green bucket focuses on providing protected income over the first 10 to 15 years of retirement. This bucket is crucial for retirees who want to ensure a steady income stream without depleting their savings during market volatility. Protects principal while providing income, helping retirees avoid the risk of running out of money prematurely. It also allows time for the stock market investments in the red bucket to grow without being affected by short-term fluctuations. This bucket also provides financial stability, allowing retirees to avoid the stress of market fluctuation.
   
3. The Red Bucket: The red bucket is intended for long-term growth and is where retirees can invest in the stock market. This bucket is essential for those looking to grow their assets over time, replenishing the other two buckets as needed. Offers the potential for higher returns, which can be used to support income needs later in retirement. This bucket is particularly important for younger retirees who have more time to recover from market downturns.
