About this episode

Doc G discusses the merits of dying a millionaire and addresses the guilt felt by early retirees regarding their wealth.

In this solo "10 Things" episode of the Earn and Invest podcast, host Doc G pushes back against the popular "Die with Zero" ethos, arguing that there is no shame in dying a millionaire. Inspired by his recent Substack post titled "Escape Velocity," Doc G aims to relieve the anxiety and guilt many early retirees feel when they realize they have accumulated far more money than they could ever spend.
