Does that plan mean you're funding someone's pet charities?

I would rather give it to my children and grandchildren.

I'm curious to know everyone's thoughts on the "Die With Zero" retirement plan.

I want to leave my kids something

Leave them a legacy of faith.

But also money.

I like what he says about helping more now and leaving less for later

Is it though? How helpful is a new washer dryer? Some struggle is good.

I agree a little struggle is good but buying my son and his wife a new washer

RC Vikings

Sure there’s a balance. What about buying them a used washer/dryer? When I was

My time is worth a lot more than I would save buying used, I don't want to go

All those people holding signs at intersections just outlived their retirements?

Apr 15, 2:55pm

I wish my parents had. My 4 sisters have split into to teams and I am

How does the plan even work? Do you off yourself when your money runs out?

He talks about using annuities as a vehicle to hold you through

What a waste. Too bad they didn’t enjoy using it all.

Apr 15, 3:09pm

are you serious about it being a waste?

Fightgar

The idea of leaving a million dollars to your kids is a waste..

kotacoug

I don't think he said that his parents were frugal, did he?

Fightgar

It wasn't a waste, they were depression era kids, it was security to them. Half of it was their house.

They had a lot of peace of mind. That can be huge.

Good idea if you're rich. Vast majority of Americans need to save more, not less

It’s smart, but give your kids their inheritance before they’re 40. Too many

So if they spend it earlier what replaces that nursing home and health care fund

I plan on dying with zero in cash/liquid investments. I will leave them real

Are you an extreme saver? Do you ever splurge on your hobbies? Answer those 2

It got me thinking and did decide I should pass down more money sooner rather

Don't like it.

The concept is good. The guy that is the biggest promotor of the idea is lame.

yeah, his examples were weird, like taking his whole family to a private island

I wish my parents followed that plan.
