Episode 36: Alex Lieberman (@businessbarista) brings you a special Wednesday edition of Founder’s Journal to share lessons from Bill Perkins’ Die With Zero. It’s a playbook on how to live life by maximizing enjoyment vs. maximizing wealth. Entrepreneurs can get caught up with racking up as many dollars as they possibly can but miss out on investing in experiential moments that can pay dividends over time. Here are the biggest lessons:

Life is not a game of space invaders

Experiences are investments like stock

There’s a huge cost to having money left over

The human brain is irrational about death

You should save less, especially when you’re young

Die with zero doesn’t mean you don’t care about kids or charity

The optimal time to extract enjoyment is ages 26-35

Health is the #1 factor affecting lifetime fulfillment

You should find more and more ways to exchange $ for free time

There’s 2 common regrets people have on their deathbed

Use time buckets
