2019 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. 2024 Retired 5 years - still listening - still learning - still...Read full review »

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...Read full review »

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.

There are a lot of retirement podcasts discussing money. Del’s podcast is real retirement talk from a real retiree!!

Update- I’m 56 now and still listening- wow! Retired 2.5 years and enjoying every moment though it can be a challenge in a strange way. I’m 53 and have been listening to this podcast about 3 years as I prepare for retirement. It is the one that I look forward to weekly. I even went back a binge...Read full review »

Wonderful insights about life aside from the needless off-topic dig at a past dead president. But that’s Del

====Early 2022==== I wrote the review below years ago. In that time I have continued to listen as Del posted conversations weekly. After 17 years into my retirement he continues to entertain and inform me. Financial retirement advice podcasts are a “dime a dozen”, and many of them are over...Read full review »

This is a thoughtful and personal podcast on retirement. I love that Del doesn’t focus on investing, saving, or other typical topics you find on retirement podcasts. His topics may mention money, but in the context of using it well. I appreciate his perspective on living well in a way that is...Read full review »

Del provides valuable insight to the many emotional challenges that accompany retirement. I find his topics of discussion to be right on target with my own considerations. I greatly appreciate the thought provoking dialogue and relaxing guitar in the background. Thanks and keep ‘em coming.

As an older GenXer who is planning to retire in the next five years, I find Del’s thoughtful podcast lovely and inspiring. He gives me lots to consider as I start imagining what kind of retirement I would like. Please keep at it Del!

Every week I tune in from Ireland and reflect on Del’s thoughtful messages through my working week. Listening to his podcasts, I feel like I am speaking with a wise relative or neighbour, who is sharing their experiences for the benefits of us who have yet to journey on the retirement path. Thank...Read full review »

I have always enjoyed Del’s philosophy on life, but today’s podcast especially- a perfect summary of the past year and, as always, an optimistic note- wishing you a healthy, happy 2021 with lots of coffee shop visits! ☕️☕️

Retiring from teaching unexpectedly this summer has been quite a shock to me. Finding this podcast has been quite an encouragement to me! Discovering new passions as well as being open to change have been the topics I have chosen to listen to at this point in time! Thank you Del!

Hi
Here I am ready to retire after Woking for 48 years with mental illness and addiction and I don’t know where to start I can’t get excited

Del was one of my most influential teachers in high school during the mid to late 1970s. I always enjoyed listening to him speak as a teacher and I now look forward to each podcast that he produces. Keep up the good work, Del! Rog

I am 56 and planning to retire in a few years. I love thinking about and planning my retirement lifestyle and not focusing on the money. Thank you, Del!
lmw789 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/05/20
Retirement is uncharted territory when one reaches that life stage. I like the topics chosen. Have seen parts of myself in some episodes. Especially the emphasis to looking forward and not back. Thanks and keep the podcasts coming !
sockloverbev via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 01/27/20
Love listening to your calm wisdoms of pre and post retirement. I am struggling with finding a new passion. Health issues with my husband have clouded my vision which has put our new retirement ventures on hold. We want to do road trips in areas we may consider to relocate in or just explore and...Read full review »

Really enjoying all the food for thought that you’ve dispensed. Thank you! You need an icon for the podcast though. How about two retirees relaxing in twin hammocks?
Just hilarious via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/21/19
I find it easy to relate to the podcast. It appears the concerns of retiree are universal. There are uncountable aspects of retirement life with further numerous choices to be made. It is a clear message for us to examine our lives in search of purpose and meaning.
AU Sidi via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 08/26/19
Most Sunday mornings while having coffee I listen to Dell. I enjoy his slow relaxing style as well as his teaching stories about life. I am very close to retirement and am attempting to learn as much as I can about this subject in hopes that I can avoid some of the typical pitfalls. Thanks Dell...Read full review »

I really enjoy listening to each episode. I've recently begun my own podcast about retirement and what happens leading up to it and during the planning, and hopefully I will continue with what's going on afterwards, as I make my way into my own retirement. The various short chats give me...Read full review »

Love these podcasts. Del shares his thoughts and reflections on life. In an era when technology and science reign supreme, wisdom tends to play second fiddle to knowledge and information. It's good for the soul to take time to reflect on life and take six or seven minutes out of the day...Read full review »

I’m so glad to have come across this series of podcasts. I like that they are based on real experiences of a person who has been retired for many years. It is impressive just how many topics are thoughtfully considered. As a new retiree, I’m using this as my retirement guide.
Val McE via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 06/29/19
Just discovered this podcast two weeks ago, and I’ve already enjoyed 25 episodes. Del is fabulous! I’m not quite ready to retire, but in full-on preparation mode. Age 58 and wrestling with the health-insurance-gap-until-Medicare issue; Del’s episode on this topic is superb. I appreciate Del’s...Read full review »

Del is easy to listen to and shared wisdom that is not at all preachy... and I appreciate that! His retire lifestyle gives me something to aspire to. Love the short length and his guitar playing. 😊

Just wonderful. Trying to figure this retirement thing, all out, and it’s been super enjoyable to listen to Del. He has me thinking.

This is about the complexity of retirement. But, mostly the softer, more difficult side. Things you’ll have to think about to get the most out of it. Subscribe and enjoy!

Since I am going to be retiring in 5 months, I find this podcast very informative and of great interest for the questions that everyone seems to want to ask me today - What will you do when you retire? Del helps me figure that out and know what options can be available. Great listening and...Read full review »
BigBill78 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/12/18
Thanks to Del for thoughtfully sharing his experiences about retirement. Not a financial planning podcast. This is more about lifestyle during retirement. I’m a few years away from retiring, but I’m getting a picture of what my life might be like when I make the leap.
Joetuba007 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/02/18
I appreciate so much the reflective offerings. I’m newly “retired” but have been similarly minded for years now. Please take a listen ... you might just find what (you didn’t know) you’re looking for.

If you want to be sold investments or penny-pinching money advice, look elsewhere — there are many others who are making pitches. On the other hand, if you want thoughtful insights on LIVING and continuing to grow and learn in a meaningful retirement, Del Lowery has a lot to offer. Give this...Read full review »

I subscribed to this on a lark. The podcast is always brief and highly personalized but always entertaining and reflective. I have been listening for over a year and have grown to wonder what is on Del Lowery's mind each week. While many may not model their retirement on this podcast, I enjoy...Read full review »
Pdxer2011 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/08/18
Good insight of retirement. I started listening a year or two before I retired. The podcasts are thoughtful & short. It’s easy to focus if you’re still working and have a tight schedule.

Love the guitar intros/pieces. Short, thought provoking but enjoyable commentary. Thanks for the interesting perspectives.
