~ Chapter One: Introducing the Buckets, Shovels, Beach and Map ~ This chapter presents an overview of the Buckets, Shovels, Beach and Map.
The Buckets As you can see each of the buckets is a different shape and size. This makes sense, as the asset groups that each bucket represents are all very different. The buckets represent the financial assets that you will accumulate dur-
ing your life. With a little imagination and some organization, you will see that every asset can be placed into one
of the five buckets. Some of these assets will be associated with corresponding debt or mortgages, and some are owned debt-free.
