Retirement Talk is an audio podcast intended to help people who are retired, or considering retirement, to examine their own lives. We will consider retirement in all its facets - not just financial. We want to examine our own lives and those of others, who seem to have looked closely, made choices, and are pretty happy with the consequences We want to encourage thought and action.

874 Continue Dreaming
Maybe retirement is the time to become a magician. Or whatever else you dreamed of when you were a child. Or whatever you dream about now that you are retired. I'll bet with just a few years of practice most of us could learn to pull rabbits out of hats.

873 Pick A Fight
"Picking a Fight" is not something our parents told us was a good thing to do. Perhaps we need to rethink this advice. Retirement might be the perfect time to look around and pick a fight with some bully.

872 Vacations
A good thing about vacations is that it shines a new light on the life we now live and the life we may want to lead. We can lay out plans, read travel logs, browse book stores and magazine racks, and have something to dream about when we take our afternoon nap.

870 When Should I Retire
How great are your needs? Do they expand with every paycheck or salary raise? Were we kidding ourselves about how much we loved our job and really were working for the money? I mean if we quit working and receiving a check do you suppose we would still go in every day and help out for free? We needed to answer all of those questions.

869 Winter Road Trip
I feel like I must relate a few lessons learned on this winter trip. They might help you think about ramifications if you may someday consider taking off during the cold season.
Customer Reviews
Perfectly summed up 2020
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! ☕️☕️
Retirement Talk
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.
Uncanny
Uncanny how topics relate to things my wife and I discuss too - on the otherside of the Atlantic in Norwich England
