What if earning more money isn’t the problem—and running out of it is? In this episode of A Slice of Advice, Kelton Burgess breaks down why even high earners, from pro athletes to everyday retirees, can go broke after the paychecks stop. Using real-world examples and market headlines, the conversation focuses on early-retirement spending, income planning, taxes, and why flexibility matters when markets turn volatile. The episode also explores Ray Dalio’s “three rabbit holes” analogy and how diversification, contingency planning, and structured income strategies play a role in long-term retirement stability.
