It is important that a health directive be clear and be known to those who might be involved in your manner of death. It makes me think that I need to be a bit more active along this line.
It is important to share information from one generation to the other. Just today the New York Times had an article about the importance of sharing family stories from one generation to the next. It claimed that this history gives stability and a sen... more

It is no fun being stuck. Retirement can have this effect on us. We can feel strapped to our past or our present. We can't seem to conceive of a reason to do anything.

This is my favourite podcast about retirement. Del’s focus is not money but how to make this phase of life meaningful and rewarding. He’s a storyteller & teacher, sharing lessons he has learned in life.

I enjoy the personal antidotes that speak to the soon-to-be retired baby boomer - me. He uses a conversational style that makes me feel I am having a cup of coffee with someone who has some experience with this stage of life.

Retired 5 years - still listening - still learning - still growing - still grateful for this weekly pep talk! Thank you Del - & - by the way - keep speaking political truth - it is appreciated by me more than you could ever imagine !
I’m 77 and look forward to your podcast. Thanks for sharing.
I have enjoyed several of this authors podcasts except for the truly weird far left political comments he constantly injects into his topics. The podcaster is a Marxist who can’t help himself and keeps sabotaging his podcast with truly bizarre political commentary. If he left out his constant political nonsense this would have been an excellent podcast because otherwise he is pleasant to listen to and gives some great information and advice about retirement.
I used to really enjoy this one and still to most of the time, but inevitably a political slant crept in so going to unsubscribe.
