Die with Zero

Maybe you've heard the classic Aesop fable of the Ant and the Grasshopper: The industrious ant worked all summer long storing food for the winter, while the carefree grasshopper fiddled and played all summer. So when winter came, the ant was able to survive, while the grasshopper was in dire straits. The moral of the fable? There's a time for work and a time for play.

Great moral. But when does the ant get to play?

Great question from and the guiding premise to Bill Perkins' book Die with Zero: Getting All You Can from Your Money and Your Life. Just started the book but enjoying it. Doesn't hurt that I had already embraced the premise without knowing it.
