That was the year of retirement for me - 2020. This and other books, as well as life's circumstances, helped me decide about significant experiences with family between then and now.Texas CEO: That idea is somewhat against the prevailing culture. A lot of us think of a life structure where you work for so many years and then retire. You think that’s the wrong way to look at it?
This is not a “Go light your money on fire” type of philosophy. Clearly—especially in times like we’ve been through recently—it’s important to have a safety net. The “die with zero” philosophy does not mean “live with zero.” What we don’t recommend is doing anything on autopilot, whether that be spending or saving. Deliberate living is the key.
“Die with zero” is about looking at the rest of your life, from where you are now to the grave, and saying, “At each stage, what experiences do I want to have, and at what age?” A cornerstone of the book and the philosophy is that you can’t push every single experience to retirement, whenever that is, whether at age 60, 65, or 70. There are things you will not get the same amount of enjoyment from at different periods in your life.
