"A startling new philosophy and practical guide to getting the most out of your money-and out of life-for those who value memorable experiences as much as their earnings"--

Getting All You Can from Your Money and Your Life

Die with Zero

This book felt very relevant to me and was very thought provoking. It's a great reminder and a good guide to escape the life on autopilot, and think about what experiences I want out of my one life. Most of them I have to do before I'm too old.

Just achieving a higher net worth is not a fulfilling goal in itself. Using all that money on experiences that enable me to live the fullest life I can is its ultimate purpose.

I'll come back in a few year to read again.

Very relevant and thought-provoking ideas for someone, like me, who has always just saved money due to the fear of "running out of money if X happens". This book inspires me to rethink how I live life, and focus on maximizing my life and life experiences.

Very relevant and thought-provoking ideas for someone, like me, who has always just saved money due to the fear of "running out of money if X happens". This book inspires me to rethink how I live life, and focus on maximizing my life and life experiences. 

In particular, I loved the ideas of: 

- Dying with money left over means that you wasted life energy working/accumulating wealth or saving instead of enjoying money in experiences. Don't trade your life energy for money that you'll waste. 

- Money is almost always more valuable when spent earlier due to health, memory dividends, and impact it can have. Spend accordingly. 

- If you're saving to give to children or charity, don't. Give while alive. 

The core concept of the book (aggressively spending your money with purpose to maximize having experiences/building memories) and some smaller ideas (dying with savings represents hours/years of having worked "for free", etc) are interested. There's a small amount of back-of-envelope financial projections that I think are not very good and detract from the book overall, but it's still a worthwhile read.

The book is a bit rambling. A little fluffy. I think the target audience is for people that have reached financial freedom
