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.

Invest in Experiences
Good book providing a fresh perspective on investing in life experiences. Life is the sum of our experiences and not the sum of our bank accounts when we die. Live life and enjoy memorable experiences throughout your life, especially during the season of life when you can really enjoy the activity. Too often people save everything for the end of their life and either die early and don’t get to experience it or get to old age and realize they are not healthy enough to enjoy the experience. Time bucket your life and identify the best decade to experience each thing on your life bucket list and then invest in making those things happen at each stage.
Must Read
 What a fantastic book I read a book a week at least sometimes more and very rarely. Do I ever take the time to write a review but for this book, I must say that it is one of the best books that I have ever read in my entire life and that’s a lot coming from all the books that I read and listen to Funny that he worked at that hedge fund in Houston many years ago when I was dazed and confused and thought I was going to be a trader. I walked into that firm and that Jon Arnold guy was there. I had no idea who I was talking to. I just had looked up on the Internet, all the hedge funds in Houston and I walked in and gave Jon my resume And he shook my hand and we had a two minute conversation and then I went about my way. I think he closed that firm not long after I went into that office but still really interesting Had no idea this guy was even in town and worked there as well. Thank you for writing this book, I believe that this is one of those books that you look back on and can recount and tell many people at Dinner that they should read this book to redirect their life and their life‘s purpose. Thank you again.
