Bucket Bliss : A Little Story About a Big Retirement Idea‪.‬

A successful retirement plan doesn’t have to be complicated. But, like flying an airplane, it does require preparation and contingency planning. That’s what Bucket Bliss is all about.

 

Stephen Swensen has dedicated his career to helping people create retirement portfolios with buckets of money that never run dry. In Bucket Bliss, he uses the analogy of flying to draw very real parallels with financial planning.

 

In and attempt to save three people from running out of money before they run out of life, Stephen finds himself piloting a small airplane –

 

In the dark.

Without electricity.

And with nowhere to land.

 

As Stephen attempts to save the lives of his passengers, he revisits three very different personalities – one who’s too frightened of failure to take any chances, one whose extreme risk-taking is bound to do him in, and one of sound reason.

 

While debunking the money myths “Timing is everything,” “All the good things in life are free,” “There are no guarantees in life,” and “Some people have all the luck,” Stephen holds tight to the wisdom imparted in the saying, “Better safe than sorry.”

 

Told with the insight of a man who understands the value of planning, this parable, which is based on a true flight, will prove inspirational, educational, and motivational.
