"Die getting all you can with from your money zero and your life"
This is a classic example of someone who shouldn't be making their own branding.

I was able to listen to the audiobook for free through the library app Libby. Great book! If you're interested in audiobooks and e-books, both Libby and Hoopla have tons of options for free.

Here you go guys. Saved you $2 and 6 hours of reading. I am a self-proclaimed saver and found this book to be comically bad.


The book Die With Zero: Getting All You Can from Your Money and Your Life by Bill Perkins advocates for a philosophy of financial planning and living focused on maximizing life experiences rather than accumulating wealth for the distant future. Perkins argues that people often save too much money for retirement or inheritance and end up not fully enjoying life or spending their wealth when they have the health and energy to do so. Instead, he suggests aiming to "die with zero" — that is, to spend down your savings during your lifetime in order to optimize memorable experiences and fulfillment.
Key insights of the book include:
  • Money should be used as a resource to create meaningful, memorable experiences at the times when you can most enjoy them, not just saved for retirement or left as inheritance.
  • Life is finite, and your health and energy to enjoy experiences diminish with age, so spending should be timed accordingly.
  • Over-saving to provide for a distant future can waste your present life energy and lead to regrets about missed opportunities.
  • Giving money to your children or charities earlier in life can have a greater impact than waiting until you pass away.
  • The goal is a balance: ensure financial security but avoid accumulating excessive wealth that you never use for meaningful living.
Overall, the book encourages readers to rethink traditional financial advice, prioritize quality of life and memories over wealth accumulation, and plan spending to match different life stages for maximum fulfillment

AHH that's the title! "Don't dead open inside" vibes.
Other than that yea I agree. I don't have kids so why would I want to leave behind hundreds of thousands+? I keep a nice nest egg for emergencies but that's about it.

Die with zero...leave the govt to foot your nursing home bill. Why leave money to just your kids when you can leave a huge debt to everyone's kids?
