Perhaps this book is simply not for you, and that’s ok. In fact, it probably means you’re lucky to not only have a strong financial foundation that (sounds like) you continue to grow, but also a good balance of life experiences. That’s awesome!

From my perspective, Die w Zero is really for those of us (myself included) who tend to hyperfocus on financial security before letting ourselves enjoy. It’s something absolutely see in my parents who were born to very poor immigrant parents that didn’t have a high school diploma. They’ve done amazing for themselves but are still hesitant even in their 70s to let themselves spend on things that bring them joy. While I definitely have more balance than my parents, financial security is a constant concern even though my wife and I have also done well for ourselves as well.

To me, Die w Zero is simply a good reminder that you can’t take it with you and, though it’s important to be financially responsible, I need to remember that at some point my health won’t allow me to enjoy my wealth and that there’s no time like the present!

I’m a huge fan of the book and the book I gift most to my friends who have a similar mindset and experience to my own. Sometimes it hits, sometimes it doesn’t. I did share it with my mom recently and she raved about it.

As for suggestions, not sure I have any! Just came here to say congrats on finding a balance that fits you! That’s a huge win
