Gabby Thomas: 我是一名职业田径运动员，也是哈佛大学毕业生。人们对职业运动员的生活方式和收入存在误解，许多田径运动员的训练条件简陋，需要自己承担各种费用。我个人在田径运动上的投入很少，主要来自赞助商的资助。赢得奥运奖牌后，我的生活发生了巨大变化，获得了更多的赞助和合作机会。我的收入主要来自代言和品牌合作，而不是比赛奖金。奥运会金牌的奖金并不多，只有37500美元，而且接力赛的奖金还要分摊。田径运动员参加比赛可能会亏本，因为需要支付各种费用。为了获得更多收入，我会参加密集的比赛，这会导致疲劳。我最大的财务错误是在东京奥运会后，因为生活方式的改变而增加了支出，例如购买特斯拉和房子。购买房产前没有做好充分的调查研究是我的错误，导致我支付了高额的房产税。建议年轻人不要冲动消费，要制定长期的理财计划，并寻求专业人士的帮助。我现在有两个工作，一个是田径运动员，另一个是品牌代言人。我将大部分收入用于投资和储蓄，并寻求专业人士的帮助进行财务规划。我非常重视财务规划，并制定了长期的理财计划。我建议田径运动员不要依赖比赛收入作为主要收入来源，要尽可能寻找不同的收入来源。我非常感谢我的教练和我的团队，他们帮助我取得了成功。 Vivian Tu: 作为一名主持人，我采访了Gabby Thomas，她分享了她作为职业运动员的经验和财务规划。Gabby Thomas的经历和观点为我们提供了宝贵的经验教训，也为我们提供了关于如何平衡职业生涯和财务规划的启示。
