181. Avoiding Deathbed Regrets - How to Reverse-Engineer Your Money and Life

September 20, 2026·1h 2m
Episode Description from the Publisher

Examining our deathbed regrets is the ultimate framework for reverse-engineering how we spend our time and money today. We unpack the difference between resume virtues and eulogy virtues, challenging the common instinct to hoard resources for a distant retirement when our peak energy and time with family are happening right now. We explore the power of life-stage time buckets, why buying back time during the messy parenting years beats waiting for traditional retirement, and how to find the middle ground between daily stability and big adventures. Building true wealth means aligning our finances with what we want to be remembered for, ensuring we look back on our choices with deep fulfillment rather than regret.Get the full show notes, show references, and more information here: https://www.insideoutmoney.org/181-avoiding-deathbed-regrets/
