Income Over Wealth

What you lose when you retire goes way beyond the paycheck, and some of it is gone for good.

Show Notes

The day your earned income stops, a whole stack of things disappears at once. Some you can rebuild in a year. A few close permanently, and the only time to deal with them is while you still have a paycheck coming in. This episode sorts twelve of them into what you can rebuild and what's gone for good.

  • Which retirement-account and insurance doors close for good the day your earned income stops
  • Why a market loss you'd shrug off while working can turn permanent once you retire, and the income floor that prevents it
  • The 2026 ACA subsidy cliff (around $62,600 single / $84,600 for a couple) and why your bridge-year income decides which side you land on
