Today I have Bill Perkins on the podcast who is the author of the very popular book titled “Die with Zero: Getting All You Can from Your Money and Your Life.” The book challenges a few core FIRE beliefs and has definitely had an impact on the way I’m modelling for my retirement.

Some of the topics we cover are:

• Who is Bill Perkins and what is he all about? (06:20)
• Why Bill wrote “Die with Zero” (07:42)
• The value of experiences fluctuating throughout life (12:05)
• Memory dividends (28:30)
• What about the kids? (36:26)
• What if I run out of money before I die? (43:02)
• What the FIRE movement gets wrong (55:45)
• Criticisms of the book (58:37)
