Why do people with plenty of money still run into trouble in retirement? In this episode of Retire Right, Chris Kichurchak breaks down the real-world roadblocks that derail retirement—from inflation and taxes to lifestyle creep and outdated planning habits. Using relatable examples, including why high earners can still run out of money, Chris explains the shift from paychecks to “playchecks” and why retirement planning goes far beyond a legal pad and a rough budget. The conversation explores how income sources, spending habits, and tax decisions intersect, and why understanding your lifestyle costs is central to navigating retirement with clarity and intention.
