This podcast not only has great information for the retiree and the almost retired but also for anyone ever hoping to retire. I was just wondering if I could take my Social Security retirement early and then switch later to my ex-husbands benefits and got the answer (once I find out what that amount may possibly be).
I'm looking forward to downloading "Big Picture Retirement, 3 Steps to a Successful Retirement". I tried retiring once becore and was just not ready (money in place, mind wasn't). But trying it again stating in a few weeks. Hopefully this will help with that transition.

Great Info
"Learn something new every day and you won't waste a day" Tell my kids this all the time and by listening to Big Picture Retirement I fulfill this with every episode. Great podcast, and very easy to understand. Also, having lived in TX, it's wonderful to hear the familiar accent. :-)

My favorite personal finance/retirement podcast
I can't say enough good things about this podcast. I look forward to listening to it each Monday! It is the perfect length, covers the topics I want to hear about in a practical and informative manner, but is still entertaining and easy to listen to. The banter between the hosts is fun and you can tell they each know what they are talking about and have lots of real world experience. Each time I listen to an episode I learn something new. My wife usually won't listen to my dry and boring finance podcasts, but she will listen to this one!

Great Podcast
As a native of Texarkana, it's nice to know we have local podcasts with such good information from knowledgeable experts. I know John Ross from seminars he's spoken at for the medical profession, and his info is always so good. This podcast will rivale any in the nation for accuracy and ease of listening for the lay person with very little knowledge on this topic. Keep up the good work guys! sm, msn, rn, acnp-bc

Highly educational and fun!
Outstanding podcast! It is highly educational and I am very thankful that it is a constant sales pitch to "contact us and we can do your financial planning"! Devin and John are well-spoken, great teachers and discuss very relevant and important topics related to retirement.

Retirement planning explained well
I've recently heard of the Big Picture Retirement while listening to the Stacking Benjamins podcast. I'm 54 and enjoy listening to many podcasts on personal finance, investing and retirement, and I have found BPR has answered several questions related to retirement planning that I always wondered about. Kudos to Devin and John in explaining topics related to retirement in layman's terms. The bonus to the show is hearing the Texas drawl I grew up with in Cooper, TX. Brings back memories of home :-). Keep it up Gents!

Really helpful stuff
Thanks for this podcast. Just listened to your episodes on Medicare and I was amazed how you were able to condense so much complicated information and share it in a way that made sense. Keep up the good work.

Very Informative
I'm a new subscriber, but the few episodes I've listen to are very informative. I particularly like the estate planning topics I've listen to thus far. Devin and John go into a lot more detail than most of the other podcasts I've listened to. Highly recommended for financial planners/advisors that work with clients in the retirement space.

Covering It All
I listen to plenty of financial podcasts, but I love that Big Picture touches upon many more important aspects of retirement planning than just the financials. Insurance, taxes, health care...all of these topics are vital to consider in your planning.

Love the show!
I have many decades yet until retirement, but I love hearing your discussions so I feel well prepared in the future. My parents are just entering retirement so hopefully I can give them advice for once!

Great show
I enjoy learning the tips and tricks needed for navigating social security and how this impacts retirement planning. I've been listening for about 6months and have been searching through some old podcasts as well.

Retirement isn't just about social security and 401(k)s
I've been learning and teaching personal finance for over a decade, yet I'm learning so much about Social Security from Devin and John. If you just want to give the show a test-run, start with Episodes 1, 4, 13 and 21. Episode 2 has a really great story too.
Keep it up guys!

Excellent podcast for real technical knowledge
This is a great podcast particularly for those who already are in the later stages of retirement (or about to inherit from those in later stages of retirement) discussing the technical aspects of SS, wills and estate planning, etc. It balances out the many FIRE (financial independence retire early) podcasts out there.
