Planning for retirement
doesn’t have to be overwhelming.
Markets go up and down. Emergencies happen. Inflation eats away at your income. It can feel like your money’s working against you just when you need it most.
A lot of traditional plans focus on saving as much as possible, but that’s only half the equation. The real challenge is knowing how to use it wisely once you retire.
Now Bucket
Covers immediate needs and emergencies. Think 6–12 months of cash to give you peace of mind.
Soon Bucket
This is your income plan. Built to weather the market and still outpace inflation, this bucket supports your first 10 years of retirement.
Later Bucket
With the first two buckets doing their jobs, this one grows long-term. It’s where compound interest and smart tax strategies can really shine — and help you leave more behind if that’s your goal.
That’s why we use
The Glass Path™
Most advisors tell you to put everything in one big pile and pull from it when you need it. But that creates something called sequence of returns risk — where a market dip early in retirement can force you to pull money when your investments are down.
That’s how retirement plans fall apart. We don’t do that.
Our approach separates your assets into three smart buckets so you’re protected, prepared, and still growing your wealth. And the best part? It’s all without guessing when to sell or where to pull from.
This is about structure
not stress.
At Glass Wealth, we help you build a plan you can understand and feel good about. No guesswork, no panic. Just smart planning with room to breathe.
Let’s talk about how the Glass Bucket System™ could work for you.
