In this episode, Liz and Abbey discuss the book 'Die with Zero' by Bill Perkins, which challenges conventional views on wealth and financial planning. The conversation emphasizes the importance of maximizing life experiences over merely accumulating wealth. They explore the concept of giving while alive, the timing of financial gifts, and the significance of investing in memorable experiences. The hosts share personal anecdotes and insights on how to live a fulfilling life now, rather than postponing enjoyment for the future.
