I think the author misses the major points of the book and seems to only focus on the books title. 1. The point of life isn’t to endlessly accumulate financial assets but instead to use them while you are alive the ways that brings you the most joy and makes the greatest impact. 2. Different stages of life have different levels of wealth demand - time, health and financial health. Recognize the limits of each stage and take the most advantage of them. 3. Take big risks earlier in life. Gives you more time to recover if things go bad. 4. Delaying joy becomes costlier as you get older. 5. Give while living. You can make a larger impact now than waiting for the future… etc. For me, this book has changed my entire financial perspective. I was on my way to endlessly accumulate wealth and assets, like many who read HumbleDollar and this book opened my eyes to the limits of time and health.
