Roger Whitney gives an overview of the Rock Retirement Club in this short video.
Here’s what Roger’s been writing about lately.
Decumulation is the process of spending down the assets that you’ve worked so hard to accrue over your lifetime. In retirement, a thoughtful decumulation plan recognizes that for your near-term needs, the return of your money is paramount.
While tactical steps like whether to do a Roth conversion or the proper age to begin taking Social Security tend to steal the limelight, one of the best places to start your plan is improving the quality of your decisions.
I see plenty of folks who have spent their whole lives storing resources for retirement and miss out on life because they worry about the future. Their refusal to consume their resources means they are starving their life experiences.

This was by far one of my favorite and most pragmatic episodes. I think we all intuitively understand theses things but sometimes get caught up in all the planning and organizing and forget the big picture and what is most important. I also really appreciate your honesty and transparency on how your thinking over the years on some of these topics has evolved. Years and experience add perspective that is invaluable for shaping our thoughts and our life. I have been a listener (and a fan) since 2014 and of all your episodes, this one caused me to take stock and action more than any other.
Thanks Roger.

The show has evolved over the years, and I like that he tries new approaches and keeps what works. Some of his best podcast sections are his when he works with volunteers on their individual retirement plans.
There’s much to learn from their experiences and planning.

This show is a great resource whether you are years away from retirement or already there. Roger and crew are very entertaining and do a great job of selecting topics and guests that are easy to listen to and understand. Some other retirement podcasts are super dry, this one is like ear candy that is actually good for you.
Give it a listen!

I just discovered this podcast and I’m hooked now. I’m 57 and approaching retirement but it still seems so mysterious and elusive to me. I want to start at the beginning and listen to all his podcasts now. This is exactly what I’ve been needing! Thank you!

I started listening about 3 years ago to help with my retirement flight plan. Couple of years to go and the turbulence has reduced greatly.

Roger is so intentional about his topics! He addresses not only complex financial questions but also life quality, and encourages decisions that lead us to a fulfilling retirement. He interviews not only experts but also folks walking the journey. Whenever a new episode drops, I listen right away… and then I can hardly wait for the next one.

I’ve listened to all the Retirement Podcasts- once. This is by far superior to any others, and I never miss an episode. Roger treats Retirement holistically; it’s about planning for the money, yes- but interwoven into every podcast are talks about lifestyle changes, family concerns, mental health, everything one can expect to be dealing with, before, during, and after retirement- it’s a lifestyle, not a one-time event.
Roger and his guest speakers are always engaging, thoughtful and kind. Can you say that for any other podcasts you frequent?

Roger shares information in a manner that even a beginner can understand. He seems to genuinely care and wants to help those of us who are trying to figure out our options for retirement. He keeps his political views out of the podcast which is something I appreciate. He also discusses the non financial side of retirement which is so crucial as we age. Much appreciate this podcast! Thanks and keep it going

This should be the starting point for anyone thinking about or already in retirement. So much information presented in an easy-to-understand way. I’ve listened to and followed many of the people out there but The Retirement Answer Man is, by far, the best.

I have been listening to this podcast for several years now and have thoroughly enjoyed it. The podcast strikes a great balance between the financial and non-financial aspects of retirement. I feel much better prepared for when that day comes that I step away from full time work to rocking retirement.

Over the past 3 years during my transition to the retirement phase, Roger’s show had remained my go to resource for my own learning and growing within retirement. I believe Roger and his team truly has all of our best interests in mind, and craft a show to help us improve our lives and opportunities in retirement. Thanks for your work!

What I like about this show is that it is well-rounded. I listen to a variety of retirement, financial, and investment podcasts, and this is the only one that covers important aspects of retirement beyond the financial, including physical, emotional, and social wellness. Love it!

This podcast has something for everyone. Not the average listener, I’m in the bottom tax bracket. Even so - I learn a lot about retirement finance that is helping me make the most of what I can save. And, the non-financial topics are great for everyone. I love what you’re doing. Keep up the good work!!

Roger has put an amazing amount of effort into creating a very valuable educational resource for anyone who is, wants to be, or is forced to be retired. Of course, retirement means different things to different people and anyone along that continuum can get something out of this podcast, financial and perhaps more importantly non-financial. There is a really nice team approach - I certainly enjoy some coaches more than others, some episodes more than others, but after listening to all 500+ episodes I always managed to take away something. Despite being free, it’s also largely free of bias, and although I’ve (paid for and) joined the club, the links and recommendations are easily followed for those wanting to dive deeper. Easy to listen to on my commute and my frequent walks. Glad I found it!

Roger and his guests provide practical advice that’s easy to understand and enjoyable to listen to. I highly recommend this podcast to anyone interested in understanding not just the technical financial aspects to plan for retirement, but also the human aspects that are equally important and often not fully considered.
