In The Automatic Millionaire, author David Bach appeals to cash-strapped and time-starved readers with a simple plan for money management that can change their financial destiny. The author of bestsellers Smart Couples Finish Rich and Smart Women Finish Rich argues that individuals can build wealth through a few simple steps that take the guesswork and discipline out of financial management. Bach uses a conversational tone and the story of a low-level manager married to a beautician to illustrate his thesis that you don't have to make a lot of money to retire rich. The book's guiding principle is "pay yourself first." By having money whisked out of sight by your employer or financial institution before you have a chance to spend it, you can save enough over the long haul to retire rich, Bach advises.

"Make your financial plan automatic and one of the most powerful things you will get out of it is worry-free time--which ultimately means getting back more of your life." To find the extra cash you have to identify your "Latte Factor"--the one or two places where you squander a few dollars a day that could be invested. Bach's strategy won't turn all readers into automatic millionaires, but it will provide a solid financial grounding that is swift, simple, and easy to implement. --Carolyn Leitch

From Publishers Weekly

Bach, author of several bestsellers including Smart Women Finish Rich and Smart Couples Finish Rich, offers a simple prescriptive plan for financial security. The secret: the astonishingly vanilla "Pay Yourself First," which, in Bach's words, is "the one proven, easy way to get rich." Instead of worrying about taxes, budgeting or investing, the key, according to Bach, is to set aside between 10% and 15% of gross income for savings the equivalent of one hour's worth of income every day. While this strategy may seem obvious, many people don't take this basic step. That's why Bach says everyone should write down their "Automatic Millionaire Promise," which spells out what percentage of their income they will start saving by a certain date. To insure that people carry through on their efforts, Bach says they should have deposits automatically made to a retirement account. Then, the next step is to capitalize on the power of compounding by contributing the maximum amount to, say, an employer's 401(k) account. To help readers navigate the maze of investment choices, Bach includes contact information for a number of mutual funds and Web sites offering authoritative financial information. Bach's key principle, along with such advice as buying real estate, paying down debt and making charitable deductions, is not groundbreaking; and regrettably, it may be unrealistic for many: tens of millions of Americans are in serious credit card debt because they can't make ends meet on their salaries; how, then, are they to save so much of their gross income? However, his easygoing approach, complete with real-life examples and clever phrases such as "Latte Factor," will appeal to the many money-challenged consumers who have made a New Year's resolution to get their finances on a firmer footing.

2.0étoiles sur 5 OK, but with flaws, Mars 29 2004
Par Un client
Although the book is well written, there are several problems with the ideas presented in it. I'm very skeptical of the reviewers who gave it a glowing review. Although it's an exciting concept that you can be an automatic millionaire, once you look into it a little deeper (which I suspect none of the reviewers did, if indeed they are true reviewers), the outcome is not so rosy, and is based on certain assumptions.

One of the major problems with this book is the oft-repeated assumption that your investments will make 10%. In a time with historically low interest rates and a struggling economy, achieving a 10% return is not easy these days. Many of the numbers in the book (e.g. how much money you will have if you invest $5 a day for 35 years) are based on this rate of return.

Secondly, the author does not often reveal how he gets his magic numbers. He shows no formulas, yet lots of dollar figures and a few tables. How can the reader confirm the numbers he comes up with? I feel like I'm reading a scientific report, with no way to confirm the test results in my own lab!

Also, the term "automatic millionaire" only seems to apply to those who can save 10 to 20 percent of their pre-tax (gross) income. How many people can do that? Certainly not those who are living paycheque to paycheque, which many people are.

The author advocates saving 10 to 20 percent of your gross income , and THEN adding extra, regular payments to your mortgage to pay it off sooner. If you can afford to actually do both of these things, you are better off than most people. Secondly, this plan of attack is not such a clear cut solution; there are many financial experts who recommend that you should pay off this large debt first (and I've seen compelling, REPEATABLE calculations which support this method), and then start saving money when your mortgae is paid off early. If I followed the advice in this book, I'd still be paying my mortgage after I retired, which is a position NO ONE should be in.

My advice: if you want to read this book, balance the advice by reading other financial books which support the mortgage first theory (I'm not going to say which ones, lest anyone think I'm trying to promote a specific author).

I read the book in a day, made some notes, and returned it.

3.0étoiles sur 5 Common Sense, Jui 19 2009
This is mostly just financial common sense, but for those who live the "paycheck to paycheck, rent an apartment, eat out every meal, and finance everything on credit cards that are $1000's of dollars over the limit" type lifestyle, then they should read it... it's pretty short at approx 200 pgs, plus there's lots of charts & diagrams, so you can practically read the whole thing in a sitting or two.

His main message is basically "be disciplined, live within your means, and pay yourself first" (i.e. homeownership & RRSP's).

The most interesting parts are where they actually do the math to show you the breakdown for investments & mortgages over the long-term, etc. they show you what the difference actually costs with the amortization over 25 yrs vs 15 yrs... or how much just a bit more in your RRSP works to your favour over the long-haul, etc. Kinda interesting, but outside of some of the mathematical specifics, there's nothing in this book most of those who manage their money reasonably couldn't have written. Like some others, I'd love to know how anyone can average the kind of interest rates he uses for his stats...

4.0étoiles sur 5 so easy, so few of us will apply it, Janv. 14 2008
Par Nicolas Prud Homme (Montreal, QC, Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
Great for beginner. No miracle solution, only the basic; save 10% of your money, invest in RRSP, time is your friend (compound interest). But if it's so easy, why aren't we all doing it. Love it. Very easy to read also

5.0étoiles sur 5 A Good Read; Take In With A Grain Of Salt
