CUSTOMER REVIEWS (Average Customer Rating: 4.5 based on 18 reviews)

A good strategy  
This book is a great book, especially if you don't have a plan already. Ray Lucia puts his thoughts together in an organized manner, and easy to understand. Too often, financial books get into industry terminology that just get people confused. This should give any investor at any age a good grip on how to make financial markets easy.

The book is geared more for folks that are about to retire or are within a few years of retirement; however, the book is very good for those that have several years to retirement as well.

If you have no investment plan, then I recommend this book. If you have a plan that is working for you already, then you may want to stick with that plan. But it never hurts to look at another type of investment strategy, which is exactly what this book is...strategy.

How to draw down your Retirement savings  
So much has been written on how to accumulate assets from retirement, using dollar cost averaging, asset allocation and focusing on long-term returns. But when you retire the rules change - short term market volatility can destroy a portfolio in the draw down stage and dollar cost averaging is an awful withdrawal method. Ray's "Buckets of Money" method offers a logical approach to break down a long term retirement goal (30+ years) into shorter "investment" timeframes. Read this before you retire!

Buckets Of Money  
Buckets of Money: How to Retire in Comfort and Safety
Great read and very helpful for anyone who is saving for retirement or is already retired. Ray's radio show is also a good place to obtain investment planning material.

Buckets of Money  
Very easy to locate, order, and receive book. Price was the best I could find along with quick shipping. This was for my husband and he was very happy with the purchase too.

Just makes sense!  
Ray's advice makes sense in today's economy and takes the "don't put your eggs all in one basket" concept one step further.

As retirees, we're living longer than ever, and our money has to last. The old advice of putting your retirement into CD's doesn't work anymore, "bucketizing" does.

Note: This review doesn't constitute legal or tax advice and is only my opinion. Please consult your own legal, financial or tax adviser.
