The Guided Retirement Show is here to be your guide as you travel to and through a successful retirement. When you go on a vacation, you may think it’s something you can do on your own and that may be true. If the destination is the Grand Canyon and your only goal is to stand on the south rim of the Grand Canyon to see it, then it’s probably easy enough without a guide.

But what if you're taking a trip to the Amazon and you've never been there before? You know the rivers can be dangerous, there's all kinds of crazy animals out there, and you don't know your way around. In that situation, it would probably be a good idea to hire a guide. The same rationalization can be applied to your retirement. Learning to navigate the Amazon takes years of practice, likewise, navigating your retirement is no different. That’s why it’s important to have a guide to help you through your taxes, estate plan, insurance, Medicare, Social Security, and the many other precarious situations retirement brings your way.

Your guide on The Guided Retirement Show, Dean Barber, has been in the financial services industry for almost 32 years, focusing on financial planning for people that are getting near retirement or are already retired. Retirement is not just about money, it’s about your life and your goals!

Drew A Andrews ,

Terrific podcast - on point with deep dives

This is a fantastic podcast. Dean takes really deep dives into each topic with tons of hugely informative information. He is generous with the ideas he shares with listeners and his pointed questions get right to the point. Excellent guests on a variety of topics and I have learned so much!

TheListenerOfPodcasts ,

Lots of interesting conversation about retirement

The amount of content covered in these podcasts is vast. Episodes can be about retirement lifestyle to very specific financial concepts for retirees. Great variety and interesting guests.

BCMusicLover ,

Not very useful

This podcast seems to be more about pushing non financial professionals into using services of a CFP. I have had nothing but horrific experiences with such “professionals “ as they don’t truly act as a fiduciary, that is they don’t truly act on your benefit, they act on theirs (assets under management fees eating away at your portfolio) so keep your money, do a little of your own work and invest wisely.
