Die with Zero

Book • 2020

Die with Zero presents a provocative philosophy and practical guide on how to get the most out of your money and your life.

Bill Perkins argues against over-saving and under-living, advocating for investing in experiences early and maximizing positive life experiences.

The book introduces concepts like 'time-bucketing,' 'net worth curve,' and 'fulfillment curve' to help readers optimize their life stages and make the most of their resources.

Drawing from his own life experiences and insights from psychological science and behavioral finance, Perkins makes a compelling case for living large and accumulating memorable experiences rather than wealth.
