Die Broke

A Radical Four-Part Financial Plan
Book • 1998
In 'Die Broke,' Stephen M. Pollan and Mark Levine present a four-part financial plan that challenges traditional retirement and savings strategies.

The plan includes: 'Quit Today' (prioritizing personal goals over job fulfillment), 'Pay Cash' (living frugally and avoiding credit), 'Don’t Retire' (maintaining productivity throughout life), and 'Die Broke' (spending one’s wealth rather than leaving an estate).

The authors argue that this approach can lead to a life without fear of financial failure or impoverishment, emphasizing the importance of enjoying both today and tomorrow.
