About this title:
- Page Length: 242 pages
- 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's 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 "time-bucketing," how to convert your earnings into priceless memories by following your "net worth curve," and how to navigate decisions about whether to invest in, or delay, a meaningful adventure with your "fulfillment 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.

Even figuring his 2023 estimated net worth of $500M... he likely has less than a 30 year time horizon since he is already 61. Even if you ignore any future grown (which could quadruple the value), he would have to spend about $1.4M per month to die with zero.
He said he already gave away his inheritances so that he could see the good it can do while he is still alive. Why not do the same for charitable causes? Why not give away all but about $50M? Seems to me like he is just a wealth hoarder who wrote a book to make even more money since his wealth could have allowed him to give the book away for free if he truly wanted to help people.
Granted, the book isn't for everyone; many or most people are struggling to get ahead, or even to make ends meet. The ideas in this book are not going to be helpful to them.
But for those who have built up a healthy surplus . . . and then continued to spend the best years of their lives building upon that surplus (after all, the more the better, right?) . . .
. . . well, this book might make you more acutely aware of the opportunity costs of your good habits.
It might make you stop to consider at what point your good habits are no longer furthering your overall interests.
