The Automatic Millionaire, Canadian Edition: A Powerful One-Step Plan to Live and Finish Rich (Canadian Edition)

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
