What is the S&P 500 and why is everyone talking about it? Lucretia is the daughter of two teachers and spent 20+ years working for IBM.  After digging into teacher retirement options, she realized teachers all over were getting the raw end of the deal with high fees and bad products.   

This has led Lucretia to retire early and start a passion project to help people build wealth and do it all for FREE!

Dave is a natural saver, Stephanie is a natural spender and BIG giver.  Together, they have been trying to make financial headway by living a very frugal and debt free lifestyle.   In December of 2019, their world was rocked as Stephanie was diagnosed with an aggressive and fast moving cancer diagnosis. Last summer, Stephanie's dad was in a life changing car accident that left him in the hospital for 5 months and is now having to learn how to walk and eat again.   How can you you save, invest AND try to make family memories before the kids leave the house?  In this episode, they discuss the thought provoking ideas of the top selling book "Die With Zero".

ABOUT THE BOOK...

Imagine if by the time you died, you did everything you were told to. You worked hard, saved your money, and looked forward to financial freedom when you retired.
 
The only thing you wasted along the way was…your life.

Die with Zero presents a startling new and provocative philosophy as well as practical guide on how to get the most out of your money—and out of your life. It’s intended for those who place lifelong memorable experiences far ahead of simply making and accumulating money for one’s so-called Golden Years.

In short, Bill Perkins wants to rescue you from over-saving and under-living. Regardless of your age, Die with Zero will teach you Perkins’ plan for optimizing your life, stage by stage, so you’re fully engaged and enjoying what you’ve worked and saved for.
