Bill Perkins

A practical guide for a rich life instead of a rich death. Imagine that you did everything you were told until your death. You worked hard, saved your money, and looked forward to financial freedom in retirement. The only thing you wasted in the process was your life.

"Die mit Null" presents a stunning new and provocative philosophy, along with a practical guide on how to get the most out of your money and your life. It is aimed at those who prioritize unforgettable experiences throughout their lives far beyond merely earning and accumulating money for the so-called golden years. In short, Bill Perkins wants to warn you against saving too much and living too little.

Regardless of your age, "Die mit Null" will introduce you to Perkins' step-by-step plan for optimizing your life, so you can be fully engaged and enjoy what you have worked and saved for. You will discover how to maximize your unforgettable moments throughout your life with time-bucketing, how to turn your income into priceless memories by following your wealth curve, and how to make decisions about whether to invest in a meaningful adventure or postpone it, taking into account your fulfillment curve and personal interest rate.

Drawing on his own life experiences, as well as inspiring stories and cautionary tales from others – and supported by insightful findings about time, money, and happiness from psychological science and behavioral finance – Perkins delivers a contemporary, compelling, and contrarian case for a great life.
