What it is

A Common-Sense Guide to Living Rich....Instead of Dying Rich 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.
