No amount of money can buy back time or health once they’re gone.

WSJ Bestselling Book by @bp22 | A new and provocative philosophy as well as practical guide on how to get the most out of your money—and out of your life.
- People don’t regret spending money on travel. They regret not going. They regret waiting too long. The best time to visit that place you’ve dreamed of? Before it becomes a regret.
- “I’ll do it later.” Later, when? When your body doesn't move the same? When loved ones are no longer here? Experiences have an expiration date. Do the things that matter while you can.
- Collect moments, not things.
- Being the richest person in the nursing home won’t buy back the time you lost, the experiences you postponed, or the connections you never made. Wealth means nothing if you’re too old to enjoy it.
- Your net worth is meaningless if you don’t use it to create a life filled with meaningful moments.
- Throughout your life your ability to enjoy experiences depends on economic (wealth) and physical (health) ability. Building up wealth doesn’t necessarily buy you experiences because your health declines as you age, limiting your ability to enjoy experiences. #dwz #personalfinance
- Money Is a Tool, Not a Goal: Money is useless if it just sits there. It’s meant to buy fulfillment through experiences, giving, and growth. The real tragedy? Treating money as the goal and forgetting to live.
- Investing in experiences gives you a ‘memory dividend’—the happiness from a trip lasts far beyond the trip itself.
- Retirement is useless if your health is gone by the time you get there.
- Your health is not infinite. Do the physically demanding things while you can. Later may be too late.
- The balance of health, money, & free time won’t look the same for a 20-year-old as it does for a senior citizen. @bp22 explains how you can get the most out of your life, regardless of your age or wealth in Die With Zero! Pre-order now: diewithzerobook.com
- Success is often measured in dollars. But what if the real currency is memories?
- People fear running out of money but rarely consider the cost of over-saving. Every unused dollar is a lost experience. You can’t buy back time or health later. Spend wisely, but don’t forget to live now.
