A Common-Sense Guide to Living Rich….Instead of Dying Rich

Imagine if by the time you died, you did everything you were told to. You worked hard, saved your money, and looked forward to financial freedom when you retired.

The only thing you wasted along the way was…your life.

Die with Zero presents a startling new and provocative philosophy as well as practical guide on how to get the most out of your money—and out of your life. It’s intended for those who place lifelong memorable experiences far ahead of simply making and accumulating money for one’s so-called Golden Years.

In short, Bill Perkins wants to rescue you from over-saving and under-living. Regardless of your age, Die with Zero will teach you Perkins’ plan for optimizing your life, stage by stage, so you’re fully engaged and enjoying what you’ve worked and saved for.

You’ll discover how to maximize your lifetime memorable moments with “experience bucketing,” how to convert your earnings into priceless memories by following your “net worth curve,” and find out how to navigate whether to invest in, or delay, a meaningful adventure based on your “spend curve” and “personal interest rate.”

Using his own life experiences as well as the inspiring stories and cautionary tales of others—and drawing on eye-opening insights about time, money, and happiness from psychological science and behavioral finance —Perkins makes a timely, convincing, and contrarian case for living large.

Really makes you think

I enjoyed the book. It really helped me realize I need to step back from saving and start living. It’s a hard leap to take and this book helped give me a better “why”. I recommend.

Outstanding

I highly recommend this book to anyone seeking a clear understanding of complex concepts in an enjoyable format. Whether you are a beginner or have prior knowledge of the topic, the book’s clarity and engaging narrative will make the learning experience truly rewarding. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to it and gained valuable insights that will undoubtedly stay with me.

Changes the way I think about my personal finance goal

I started to write down ideas about how I would like to live my life in each decade. And I immediately booked a trip to visit my younger sister living out of state!

Good concepts - not advice

As a licensed financial planner, thought lots of the concepts were good - however, this shouldn’t be taken as advice

puts life in perspective

really interesting approach to maximizing your time and living your best life. the math is directional and honestly not that important - its the lesson of not living on auto pilot that has the ability to impact most of us
