My 3-Bucket FIRE Strategy: 2025 Portfolio Review

What is the 3-Bucket Strategy for early retirement? How do I manage my money and live with zero income? In this 2025 portfolio review, I'm answering all these questions.: How much cash do you really need to retire? What is a "Tactical Reserve" and how do I use it? Should you include real estate? (Here's my 33% allocation) What happens after you "lose capital" or get scammed? What are my biggest portfolio mistakes (and how am I fixing them)?
