Summary

Out of all the episodes of the Financial Independence Podcast, this is the one I wish I heard when I was on my journey to financial independence.

Bill Perkins, author of Die with Zero, joins Chris Hutchins on the All the Hacks podcast to discuss what money is really for – maximizing net fulfillment.

This interview is incredible, so I reached out to Chris to ask if I could share it with you all, and thankfully he agreed!

Highlights

Why you should maximize for net fulfillment rather than net worth
When is the best time to allocate money to get the most fulfillment
Why you should time bucket your experiences instead of having a bucket list
How to break out of earning-saving-investing autopilot
Why you should fear wasting your life more than running out of money

0:34.6	only one gap that I see that needs to be filled and that's exactly what today's episode is.
0:40.6	So today's interview is with Bill Perkins who wrote Die with Zero, which is the book that I really wish I had read during my journey to financial independence and it's probably been the most impactful book I've read since achieving financial independence.
0:55.3	So I knew at some point I would need to get Bill on the show.
0:58.7	So last year I started doing some research into Bill and I started listening to some other interviews and I came
1:04.8	across an interview of his on All the Hacks Podcast which is actually hosted by a previous

1:14.0	He was on the show on episode number 39 way back in 2017.
1:19.1	And I listened to Chris's interview and I thought this is exactly what I want to ask Bill about.
1:24.8	He talked through everything that I had questions about.
1:28.1	He focused on all the topics that I thought were important and I thought it was an amazing interview.
1:33.0	So rather than waste Bill's time asking him all the same questions again
1:37.0	and trying to replicate Chris's interview,
1:40.0	I just reached out to Chris and asked if I could post his interview as a
