The David Bach Show

In this special bonus episode, David Bach sits down with his longtime friend and fellow #1 New York Times bestselling author Marie Forleo to reflect on the 20-year journey of The Automatic Millionaire – what has changed, what hasn't, and why the book's core principles matter now more than ever. David shares the "trillion-dollar clues" behind America's explosion of new millionaires, why paying yourself first still works, and how automation remains the most powerful wealth-building habit ever created. But this episode goes far deeper than money – touching on purpose, burnout, sabbaticals, health expectancy, and the urgency of living rich now, not later. Inside this candid, inspiring conversation, you'll learn: Why America now has nearly 24 million millionaires – and what they're all doing in common The surprising retirement crisis happening even among six-figure earners Whether a million dollars is still enough (and the math behind becoming a multimillionaire) How small daily habits – even $27.40 a day – can lead to $1-4 million in long-term wealth Why the Latte Factor® still sparks aha moments around the world The crisis in financial literacy — and why young people aren't being taught the basics The rise of millennials and Gen Z as powerful savers, investors, and early retirees How sabbaticals and mini-retirements can completely reset your life and creativity The real story behind David's decision to update the book – and how his late father shaped this chapter A final message of encouragement for readers who are ready to take action This is more than a financial conversation – it's a blueprint for a richer, more intentional life. Whether you're just beginning your journey or recommitting to your financial future, this episode reminds you that building wealth isn't complicated...it just needs to be automatic.

Recorded after three weeks in the studio – and kept in the audiobook thanks to one timely email from a reader – this chapter celebrates the everyday people who transformed their financial lives using simple, automatic steps. These are not Wall Street insiders or high-income earners. They're teachers, soldiers, young couples, single parents, musicians, caregivers, and college students – all proving the same truth: If they can do it, you can do it. Inside this episode, you'll hear: How a 24-year-old preschool teacher became a millionaire – and went on to inspire millions more A trumpet player who went from broke to building a real estate empire A family who automated their way to a $2.4M net worth A deployed soldier who shared The Automatic Millionaire across his entire unit Couples who paid off debt, maxed out retirement savings, and bought homes – all by making their finances automatic A high school student whose required summer reading completely reframed her future These intimate letters and emails span more than two decades and thousands of readers – all proof that the principles of The Automatic Millionaire work in any economy, any career, and any stage of life. If you've ever wondered whether you can truly change your financial future, let these voices remind you: Start small. Make it automatic. And watch your life transform.
