This is the first exercise of the 2026 retirement challenge that most people actually enjoy. The first episode was all about purpose and understanding why you will retire. The second episode was about spending. I've discovered that most people really... more

If there were no spending, there would be no need for investments.

  • Preachy and too MAGA for me

    I like the idea of this podcast. But the host recently did a show where he basically said the economy is great and people just don’t see it because they’re listening to the wrong media. It’s like he read talking points from the Trump WH. It’s not the first time politics came into the show and I’m just not looking for that in a retirement focused podcast.

  • Simple game of solitaire

    Nothing useful here. Just an advertisement for a sub par tool. This podcast is really weak on content and big of trying to generate revenue streams.

  • One of my favorite retirement planning podcasts!

    I really enjoy listening to this podcast. Jason Parker is pleasant, encouraging, and—most importantly—knowledgeable. He explains concepts thoroughly, while making them easy to understand. His podcasts are interesting, and I always learn something new or understand topics better after he has discussed them.
