The Bucket Coach

The Bucket Coach is our financial advice book written exclusively for Ontario Fire Fighters, their families and for other colleagues. The book takes you on a simple, fairly conservative journey through fire services employees lifestyles choices, how to set up a reasonable family budget, how to build and keep wealth, how to fit your business income into your overall income and more.

The result is just as straight-forward. If you follow the book, your net worth will grow and you will enjoy financial well-being. That's not bad for 53 pages of advice - likely about a two-hour read or less for most of us.
