But two decades worth of declining interest rates have dragged yields down to a point where the idea of retiring on CDs and bonds is not feasible. Morningstar financial editor Christine Benz believes the most effective way to beat low-interest rates is with bucket planning. Today, we’ll compare her idea for bucketing to the IQ Wealth System .You don’t want to miss today’s show, MASTERING MONEY is on the air!
