Where to Find Bill and the Book

Most money advice is a broken record: save more, invest early, and wait for freedom. But what if the real risk isn't running out of money but instead is running out of time? In this episode, we’re challenging the "accumulation at all costs" mindset with Bill Perkins, author of the cult classic Die With Zero. It turns out that a healthy money relationship isn’t just about building wealth but it’s also about intentional spending. Bill argues that time is the most precious asset we have, and that waiting too long to enjoy it can be a costly mistake because we don’t want to reach the finish line with a full bank account and a lifetime of missed opportunities! We discuss how:

• Time is the most precious asset we have
• Travel makes you a richer person
• Your health impacts your wealth
• Timing your life experiences
• Memory dividends are inflation protected fulfillment
• Delayed gratification as a form of prison
• His concept of time buckets
• Life is full of risk and we have to decide what's worth it
• And much more!
