Who knew
Who knew there were so many topics about retirement and they can be presented in an interesting and engaging way by two guys - a finacial planner and a lawyer no less? Not me, but that's what this is. I've learned a lot and highly recommend it to anyone in or planning for retirement.

Interesting and entertaining
These two dudes cover a wide range of interesting and useful topics, and they stay on task and dont go on and on about random things that are totally unrelated. They are also funny. Really enjoy this show.

Best and only podcast I listen to...
Tried many across genres and topics. All were awful except this one. This is literally the only podcast that I continue to listen to regularly.

Great Retirement guide
Planning to retire in a few years. Searched and came across this podcast. Great and timely advice. I've been jumping around to various episodes as I move through my retirement planning.
Keep the show going.

Practical advice
I am five years from retirement and listening to this podcast has been extremely helpful in my preparation. I have found the topics very interesting and very helpful.

Addiction is a strong word, but...
... that's about as close to the word I can use to describe my involvement with your podcasts. I discovered you somehow...not sure how, but definitely on iTunes. I've been catching up on most of the episodes (not all apply to me), and I have to say I love your insights, your banter, and your format. You two have supplanted ever other podcast in my rotation - at least until I catch up (currently in the 50's). Don't know how I'll scratch my "Devin & John itch" once I'm all caught up! Just once a week at that point doesn't seem like it will be enough!

uhhgggg...You guys make it berable or should I say bullish.
We were happily working and saving....when wham retirement approached and landed. Lucky we are in are early 50s working contract jobs (public safety workers have to retire early) and will soon figure out when we can really retire. We tried a few advisors and had no good vibes, no one seems to want to help with the Big Picture until we found you guys. We are sifting through it all, with your helpful podcast, trying to make sense of it all. We prefer to go to advisors and planners with some knowledge under our belts. Yor guys make the info go down real smooth. Thanks!

Great information and entertaining!
I’m 58 and hoping to retire in the next 3 years. I started listening last year and have gone back to listen to all the past shows too. The information has been extremely helpful.

Better than it looks
I subscribe to this podcast. When the new episodes come up I often look at the topic and say: That sounds boring. However, after I give it a listen it turns out to be worth it. These guys are smart, well informed on their topics, and not boring at all. :)

My favorite investing podcast
I love listening to Devin and John. They come at all items logically, speaking from experience and imparting knowledge. Others are just “entertainers” or wannabes. Big Picture Retirement podcast actually gives the listener wanting to learn some meat on the bone. Keep it up!

Great for Future retiree
I am only 50 and looking ahead to retirement. Big Picture Retirement has helped me tremendously begin to plan for that day. They give insights that I never would have thought of. I went all the way back to their first episode so I wouldn't miss any of their tips. They have very helpful guest occasionally that really help fill out the show.

Content Rich
This is a great podcast. Although I’m 34 and not everything applies to me the information is precise and to the point. I recently found this podcast, listened to about 10 episodes, and I’m now going back starting with episode one to get current.
Great content and not corny which I appreciate.
- Great show. no Joke

Info packed podcast!!
If you or someone you care about is or near retirement, this podcast is a must listen. I found this podcast through word of mouth last month and I have learned so much about estate planning, social security and everything else in retirement. I am an early retiree in my 30s with three young children (through hard work, consistent saving and simple investing), everything I have learned from Devin and John is very applicable to my family situation. The more episodes I have caught up, the more I wish I live in Texas so that I can stop searching for an estate planning lawyer and financial planner by just hirimg John and Devin. Highly recommended - you don't know what you don't know until you do - hopefully before it's too late...

Relaxed style, solid info
I’ve learned many things here that I haven’t on other retirement planning podcasts.
They go deep in topics that are relevant for planning for aging and retirement, both for myself approaching retirement in 3-5 years, and for my 88-year-old Mom whose finances I manage.
Thank you for the immense amount of work that you put into keeping this podcast going and substantive.
And I for one 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.

Great show
This is one of the best shows on retirment topics I have listened to (and I listen to a lot of them)
It is informative, unbiased, and filled with good, factual, useful information
I especially appreciate that they are not trying to sell you anything like many of the retirement podcasts do. They don't offer a free review of all of your investments, they just give good, sound avice
I highly recommend this podcast!

Tax ID #
Great podcast on immigrant impact on SS. You mention getting a Tax ID # instead of a SS Number. I checked the application for the Tax ID # and it appears the form(s) require a SS#. Can you address. Thank you. Love your podcast.

Thank you
Thank you for the wealth of information. I Am nearing retirement. Your podcast are helping me in my estate planning and retirement planning. You review over problems that I would never focus in on. For example naming a beneficiary or beneficiaries on cds. The right way to do it and the wrong way to do it. I always look forward to the new broadcast.

Thank you!
This podcast covers many different topics related to retirement; however, the one that helped me most was what to do when a loved one dies. After the loss of my spouse, I was not very focused, to say the least. Having the checklist of things to take care of was a God send.
