The DWZ movement is particularly popular among DINKs (Dual Income, No Kids) and others who have more financial flexibility and fewer dependents. It appeals to those who prioritize experiences over leaving large inheritances, and to individuals who want to make the most of their money while they're still young and healthy enough to fully enjoy it.
Consider embracing the DWZ philosophy if you value experiences over material possessions and find more fulfillment in creating memories than in accumulating wealth. It may also be a good fit if you don't prioritize leaving an inheritance, as the movement encourages using most of your assets during your lifetime. Additionally, if you're comfortable with some financial risk and trust in your ability to manage money effectively over time, DWZ could align well with your outlook.
See every zoomer and soyillenal thinks theyll just drop dead at 40 or 50 or keep themselves safe when they turn 35 or some shit. The thing is none of them are actually suicidal so they don't and end up penniless in their 60s suffering like materialist boomers did. These are the same ppl who whin their boomer parents got a reverse mortgage so they wont get the house when they die
This on top of the muh expirences cope where they think going to spain for a week where they just bumble around tourist areas and eat food makes them a world weary bohemian.
Some choice comments:
Hah, I have no choice. I have no heirs. I try to run and play every weekend. Everything is paid for. So no major bills. I don't live extravagantly and I don't travel much looking for "life experiences". But I'm able to do whatever I want. No matter what philosophy you subscribe to, do it without regrets. Don't be on your deathbed saying, "I should have stopped to smell the flowers." Don't die hating yourself.
"Everything is paid for" so this dude basically lives like a child who only needs to save for the newest video game.
Yup, we're on track to Fire at 45 and 43 or earlier. Childfree, so planning on dying with zero. We already exercise a lot of DWZ mentality and enjoy traveling and doing things we like.
Again these are the same soys who cry about boomers being too greedy
To me, it feels like DWZ takes it as a given that most people working now (at least in the US) won't be able to retire in 30-40 years anyway, regardless of how much they save, due to economic collapse, climate change, and our broken healthcare system, and so you may as well use the money now. Though I'll admit I haven't done any research on this specifically.
Let me be a burden to society when I die, society has been a burden to me for decades.
"Guys its literally impossible to save money in this economy" (spends all their money on slop). Its geuinely interesting how many people just spend all their money but then act entitled to savings. You see this with crypto where they complain that they have no savings so they NEED to gamble to get as rich as le boomers. Buddy that 10k you dropped on dogecoin was your savings.
