Rate ShowI have learned so much!
Devon and John can make the most complicated subject easy to understand and always demonstrate how the issue could effect listeners. I am grateful for all the input they have shared. I highly recommend this podcast.

You get old, you have a little money, you retire, now you are paying attention
1. These guys definitely have a red state viewpoint which I do not, yet based on my net worth I presumably should. But I have yet to hear anything not correct.
2. Very entertaining -- but not foolishly -- they need to talk about sequence of return risk and multi-bucket strategies.
One of my favorites!
This podcast is one of my favorites—my only complaint is that I have to wait too long between podcasts! Both hosts are very knowledgeable about retirement, social security, Medicare, and taxes. They deliver helpful information clearly, with real life examples and a sense of humor.

right on target
Devin and John have a way of talking about retirement and many related topics with simple and straight forward language. They can make hard subjects easy to understand and can be trusted with their educational content
Substantial content
This is one of the few financial podcasts that have consistently kept the balance of air time tipped toward useful content. Often follow the "it depends" answers with details of WHAT it depends on & why, which is often missing in other presentations. I enjoy the personalities, but very grateful that they don't let the friendly banter override the useful information.

My Favorite Podcast
I listen to a lot of financial podcasts and this one is my favorite. Great hosts and great information. The other podcasts pile up until I have time to listen, but I make a point to listen to Devin and John as soon as a new podcast is released. Keep up the good work, guys!

Practical advice with deep knowledge
Like others have noted, the info provided is excellent for those that handle their own portfolio and investment strategies.

Meaty topics explained in understandable way
Unlike most personal finance shows which tend to be pretty basic this show gets into more difficult but relevant topics such was estate planning, trusts and social security. These can be tough topics but are explained very well in an entertaining way

Best retirement planning info!
So glad you guys are back! You have taught me so much and I greatly enjoy your accents and banter. Not yet at retirement age, but I’m going to rock Social Security and retirement planning thanks to you!
BTW, one of your best episodes was about the “Black Widow” scammers. Highly recommend you rerun it sometime!

Relaxed style, solid info
Glad you’re back, and my previous review still stands, with a few updates: I’ve learned many things here that I haven’t on other retirement planning podcasts. They go deep into topics that are relevant for planning for aging and retirement, both for myself approaching retirement in the coming year, and for my Mom whose finances I managed until she passed away during the Covid epidemic. Thank you both for the immense amount of work that you put into keeping this podcast going and substantive. And I still love your relaxed style of chatting and joking about life in general, because it makes the head-exploding, detailed learning and information a little easier to absorb. I wouldn’t want you to change a thing. I often find myself backing up and listening to certain sections 2 or 3 times, because there is so much to understand and absorb.

Needed Information
This is a great informative and entertaining Podcast. I have learned a lot from these two men about financial planning and estate planning. They also give you some ideas on how you can find the fight planners for your situation. Glad they are back
So glad these guys are back!
It’s been a long 2 years waiting on this show to return. So glad to hear they are back!

So interesting!!
I love these two guys for 3 reasons:
1. As a good southern woman, I could listen to John & Devin’s Texas accents all day long. It’s like the Texas version of City Mouse (John) and Country Mouse (Devin).
2. They are great at explaining difficult situations in a down-to-earth way that 99% of the listeners can understand.
3. They manage to cover the subject of retirement with a little humor, on the side!
So why can’t I download the podcasts anymore?!?

#74 Crisis Planning ~ Paying for Long Term Care Expense
Wow!! THIS PODCAST gave me hope!! I didn't know... what I didn't know! I thought you had to give the government everything you owned... to even begin to get some professional help.

Big Picture Retirement
I am so psych'ed. I found Devin Carroll on youtube initially and found his information to be great on social security. SS is only one part, although it be a huge part, of most people's retirement. I then found the his podcast with him and John. These guys are great! So good to get useful information on retirement. I highly recommend this podcast!

Just What is Needed
I don’t know how else to put it, but these guys are AWESOME. I found them several months ago and they have become my daily commute listening. Incredibly informative, unbiased, and the content is delivered in a very entertaining fashion. They are on hiatus for now, but do yourself a favor and learn from these podcasts.

Fun n Fantastic
After listening to a show or two I absolutely had to go back and binge the remaining library. I love the vibe of the show and the information is presented in a way that our (collective) grandparents can understand. Per Albert Einstein, that means they really know their stuff. I have listened to many, many retirement and financial planning shows; this is one of only three that I subscribe too.
