The Hidden Risk of Living Off a Portfolio Alone

What happens when the paychecks stop, but the spending doesn’t? This episode breaks down why even high earners can run out of money and why retirement failure is rarely about income alone. Paul and Travis Ivanoff unpack real-world examples—from professional athletes to everyday retirees—to explain how behavior, budgeting, and planning collide. They walk through the idea of giving every dollar a purpose, building income floors, and using multiple “buckets” to handle market volatility, so retirement isn’t left at the mercy of a single portfolio. Listen to Paul and Travis on KEIB-AM LA Saturdays at 9am.
