Budgeting vs. bucketing

When I first saw this title, I assumed that the budgeters were the smart folks and the bucketers were the ones just tossing all their would-be savings into the bucket of frivolous spending. Whoops--the editors at BuckInvestor.com have mixed it up a bit, and actually advocate the practice of bucketing, whereby you plan your expenses like a Buck Investor and squirrel away your savings and investments *first* before figuring out what to spend on incidentals like food and electricity. Sound too frugal to stomach? This well written article may actually change your mind. Unless you're already a millionaire, that is.
