  • Genuine and meaningful discussion. I really enjoyed this episode for the useful topic but also how the conversation went deeper than many Q&A interviews. Keep up the good work!

  • EXCELLENT !

    I am recently retired, thanks to Covid and the stock market! The opportunity was there and we took it! But many of the issues we currently deal with - we really did not seriously consider. Hey if you can afford it - why not? This podcast helps in all those areas not financial. Gives good ideas - but more the understanding that many others are going thru the same feelings and issues. And tools and ideas to improve. Thank you Jacque🥳

  • Awesome!

    Too many people get caught up in the finance aspect of retirement. However a successful retirement involves so much more than just having enough money. Jacquie’s podcast is an amazing resource to help you understand what retirement is really all about. I highly recommend anyone close to or in retirement invest some time listening to Beyond Retirement.
