The Kara Goldin Show

Financial expert Dave Ramsey mentioned David Bach's work approvingly, acknowledging that The Automatic Millionaire makes a "very valid point." Ramsey specifically highlighted the book's core strategy of establishing "autopilot" discipline, recommending listeners automate financial tasks—such as 401k contributions and bill payments—to ensure consistent wealth-building without relying on conscious effort. This approach was endorsed as a crucial method for maintaining financial discipline and preventing slip-ups.

There's a book called The Automatic Millionaire. I've made everybody read it. All my guys read it. I send it out to everybody who's in our network. I'm still convinced I've sold more copies of that book than that guy has sold of his own book. But it helped me out so much. I'm glad to return the fee.

I always learn to manage your money in a percentage. Like if you save 12% or 15% of your paycheck, the more money you make, you save the exact same percentage. It's a shift that just continues to go.
