The automatic millionaire
A Powerful One-Step Plan to Live and Finish Rich
Book • 2003
The Automatic Millionaire by David Bach shares the secret to becoming financially secure by automating savings and debt payments.
The book tells the story of an average American couple who, despite a modest income, manage to own two homes debt-free, send their children to college, and retire with over $1 million in savings.
Bach's approach stresses the importance of automating financial plans, eliminating high-interest debt, and living frugally while still enjoying life.
Key concepts include the 'Latte Factor,' which highlights how small daily expenses can add up, and the necessity of aligning spending with personal values.
