This book offers a refreshing perspective on prioritizing memorable experiences over accumulating wealth. It provides practical strategies for optimizing life stages, encouraging readers to focus on living fully rather than merely saving.
Die With Zero by Bill Perkins offers a refreshing perspective on how to approach life and finances. The book challenges the conventional wisdom of saving excessively for retirement at the expense of enjoying life in the present. Perkins argues that many people work hard and save diligently, only to realize too late that they have missed out on meaningful experiences. His philosophy encourages readers to prioritize living fully and creating memorable moments over merely accumulating wealth for the so-called “golden years.”
Perkins introduces the concept of “time-bucketing,” which involves organizing life experiences into different stages to ensure that individuals engage in fulfilling activities throughout their lives. He emphasizes the importance of understanding one's net worth curve to transform earnings into valuable memories. By doing so, readers can make informed decisions about when to invest in experiences versus when to save, using tools like the “fulfillment curve” and “personal interest rate” to guide their choices.
Drawing from his own life experiences and the stories of others, Perkins combines practical advice with insights from psychological science and behavioral finance. His goal is to inspire readers to break free from the constraints of over-saving and to embrace a life rich in experiences. Ultimately, Die With Zero serves as a thought-provoking guide for anyone looking to optimize their life and find joy in their financial journey.
“[T]he ideas contained within are worth pondering for a future that may eventually include a return to a somewhat normal financial life….So why is this book by Bill Perkins…worth your time? Because it gets to the heart of two extremely important issues that you may be thinking about during these strange times: why you save and how you live….It’s an intriguing idea.” — The New York Times “He’s not offering a steady plan to save for the future while still enjoying your life; he’s offering ways to be more present now, so you don’t look back on would’ves, could’ves, and should’ves later in life.” — SUCCESS Magazine "If you're wondering what the secret sauce is to living your life to the fullest at every stage without running your resources dry, then crack open this practical, timely book.” — Barbara Corcoran, Shark on Shark Tank, Founder of The Corcoran Group “Bill Perkins' Die with Zero opens up a completely different avenue of thinking to realize that your life can be maximized through memorable experiences. Why wait? Being present is a priority.

You should read it and see all the different methods and philosophies and ways to figure this out in your own life.” — James Altucher, American hedge-fund manager, best-selling author, podcaster and entrepreneur "This book brilliantly gives one a roadmap for living life over planning for death, for making a difference while you're here to see that difference become real, and for generating priceless memory dividends with friends and family which far exceeds the value of any portfolio. Read it and reap a richer, fuller and more exciting life." — W. Randall Jones, Managing Director, Patriarch Partners, LLC and author of The Richest Man in Town "In Die with Zero, Perkins presents a life-altering argument that we really need to start focusing on living our richest lives now, rather than waiting for our so-called golden years.
