What's the secret to becoming a millionaire?
In The Automatic Millionaire, David Bach shares that secret.
The Automatic Millionaire starts with the powerful story of an average American couple -- he's a low-level manager, she's a beautician -- whose joint income never exceeds $55,000 a year, who somehow manage to own two homes debt-free, put two kids through college, and retire at fifty-five with more than $1 Million in savings. Through their story you'll learn the surprising fact that you cannot get rich with a budget! You must have a plan to pay yourself first that is totally automatic, a plan that will automatically secure your future and pay for your present.
What Makes The Automatic Millionaire Unique:
You don't need to make a lot of money
You don't need a budget
You don't need willpower
You don't need to be that interested in money
You can set up the plan in an hour
This one little audiobook has the power to secure your financial future. Do it once -- the rest is automatic!

"I like David Bach...his premise? Pay yourself first...not at the end of the month IF you happen to have something left over...PAY YOURSELF FIRST!!! That's it! If it's taken out before you ever see it, you will never miss it. Good, practical book. It actually makes you believe it's possible. "

— Ken Blanchard, coauthor of The One Minute Manager" Finally! A simple financial plan I can follow. "
— Kesha, 2/20/2014" Another rudimentary personal finance book. It's okay, but it is not a comprehensive plan like Your Money or Your Life and Buckets of Money. It could be a good starting point, but why bother. Just read the two titles I just mentioned and that will be all you have to do. For what it's worth, though, it's a pretty good book. My biggest problem with it is I don't drink coffee. "
— Steven, 2/20/2014" And easy, easy read. With great lessons for saving money and planning for the bigger picture without breaking your bank in the short term. The only thing is, isn't it sad that nowadays a million dollars is no longer all that much? Well, still a useful, easy read. "
— Mary-Ellen, 2/12/2014" Great financial book. A quick read, but he is good at connecting on a more emotional level. If you've read other financial books, he's not really teaching you anything new; but he helps you to make those connection internally so you want to live the lessons he's talked about in the book. "
— Dawnetta, 2/5/2014" Suze Orman assisted me with so many emotional hang-ups I had about money and David Bach pushed me to make something happen. I bought my first home all by myself, got out out of debt, car was paid in full, etc. "
— Kim, 2/4/2014" This book was pretty good as far as financial advice books go but I'm still looking for the book that has the advice specifically for my situation of med. school debt and buying a fixer upper. Too bad you can't check out a financial planner from the library. :) "
— Katie, 2/4/2014" Practical advice for investing. Bach takes a behavioral approach to saving and investing. I was stunned to learn how many Americans do not sign up for their employer's 401(k) plans! Definitely a book that college students should read. "
— Heather, 1/25/2014" The first book anyone who wants to take control of their financial life should read. Its the ultimate guide to retiring financially independent. "
— Michael, 1/22/2014" If you would like to save money and build wealth especially with your mortgage, read this book. It is a very quick read and gives a lot of great advice. It is still very hard to do (like get %10 yearly return on your money) but the concept is spot on. "
— Dave, 1/15/2014" My favorite personal finance book. Clear, easy to read, simple steps and totally practical. I bought a house because of this book. Amazing. "
— Melanie, 1/15/2014" I like David Bach...his premise? Pay yourself first...not at the end of the month IF you happen to have something left over...PAY YOURSELF FIRST!!! That's it! If it's taken out before you ever see it, you will never miss it. Good, practical book. It actually makes you believe it's possible. "
— Betty, 1/2/2014" I read this book on the recommendation of a millionaire friend. It didn't make me a millionaire, but it did help me to offload a lot of financial chores to automatic mode. "
— Morna, 12/19/2013" Anyone who says the "little guy" can't get ahead needs this book "
— Chrishipp, 12/9/2013" The main point of this book is brilliant: namely that you should automate your personal finances. The trouble is - this book could have been a pamphlet. It was very painful to read because it waffled on forever and repeated itself constantly. "
— Jeffrey, 12/6/2013" SAVE YOUR FREAKIN' MONEY, PEOPLE! "
— Erica, 12/6/2013" if not for this book, i never would have thought about a 401k "
— Lawn, 9/7/2013" Read this one in 1 day. Very informative. I will be a millionaire someday now. "
— Ryan, 8/17/2013" I followed the advice in this book. It's great for someone who wants to save for retirement, but doesn't know where to start and needs motivation. "
— Kate, 6/21/2013" Simplify your life - put it on auto pilot. One of the first personal finance books I read. Basic info that's for those starting out on the journey. "
— Cheri, 4/25/2013" It's been a few years since I've read this book, but I remember being impressed by the advice to automate your finances, and I've done that to an extent. I could probably benefit from a re-read of this one, but it would have to get in line behind so many others on my to-read list. "
— Lesley, 8/11/2012" Great advice, but start early! "
— Read1000books, 6/28/2012" Good, clear, sensible financial advice. "
— Elizabeth, 4/14/2012" This really provides a simple approach at investing. It's written in clear layman's terms, so even the financially challenged can follow along easily. What he offers is worth considering and I'm actually doing a few things right, as it turns out. Phew! "
— Jen, 3/8/2012" Good read, educational, for those that would like to learn more about investment/finance. "
— Saroum, 2/3/2012" Many good tidbits of advice! "
— Wendy, 11/6/2011" Not my usual type of read, but after I was given this as a gift, I powered through it. Worth it. I still mentally reference this as I manage my finances, and at 19, I think I'm doing pretty well in setting myself up for the future as well as taking care of myself now. "
— Porsche, 6/22/2011" Great, practical tips to managing money. Loved the "latte factor." "
— Shaeley, 6/10/2011" <br/>if not for this book, i never would have thought about a 401k "

— Nick, 4/29/2011" Great tips on automatic savings programs, will be applying them to our financial planning! "
— Laurel, 3/9/2011" Great book with very easy, helpful information! "

— Nelly, 2/23/2011" I listend to the audio book.Im not the type of person who dreams about being a millionare 24\7 but my bro said i should listen to it so.I didnt listen to the last chapter because it was all about taxes..but all in all he had seome good points and he made it interesting so i didnt get bored. "
— Khawlah91, 2/13/2011" I liked it - very practical advice on financial planning, especially making good financial habits automatic - payments to savings, extra mortgage payments, charitable donations, etc. "
— Melanie, 1/19/2011" One of the easiest books I have read. It opened my eyes to a lot of different ways to save and not spend what I have saved up. "
— Erin, 1/11/2011" Great money management eye opening tool. "
— Dorensa, 1/7/2011" Lots of great ideas. I don't agree with all of his ideas but I do agree on how important it is to use automatic transfers to keep on target for reducing debt and adding to retirement and savings. But I also think it is important to have a monthly budget. Well written. "
