Saving money on a retirement budget can feel impossible — but I’ve started using a simple two‑bucket system that’s helping me work toward a $17,000 savings goal over the next 17 months.

In this video, I share the exact method I’m using right now:

Bucket #1: $11 a Day
My “household trim” bucket — groceries, restaurants, streaming, paid channels, and all the small daily expenses that quietly add up.

Bucket #2: $100 a Week
My “sell the clutter” bucket — turning unused items around my home into weekly cash.

I also talk about how an extra $250 in monthly interest from my Roth IRA and another account helps boost my progress.

If you’re retired or living on a fixed income, this system is simple, doable, and surprisingly motivating. I hope it inspires you to build your own version and feel more confident about your financial future.
