What if dying with millions in the bank isn’t a success story — but a missed opportunity?

In this episode of the Retirement Income School™, we’re diving into the powerful book Die with Zero by Bill Perkins — and why it might completely change the way you think about retirement planning.

You’ll learn 7 key ideas from the book and how they connect with safe money strategies like annuities, dividend-paying whole life insurance, and legacy planning. We’ll talk about why it’s okay to spend now, when it’s better to give money to your kids earlier in life, and how to design your retirement income to match the different “time buckets” of your 60s, 70s, and 80s.

If you’re ready to stop over-saving, start living more fully, and build a plan that helps you enjoy your money while you’re still healthy — this episode is for you.
