CHAPTER ONE

Meeting the Automatic Millionaire

I’ll never forget when I met my first Automatic Millionaire. I was in my mid-twenties and was teaching an investment class at a local adult-education program. Jim McIntyre, a middle-aged middle manager for a local utility company, was one of my students. He and I hadn’t spoken much until one day when he came up after class to ask if he could make an appointment with me to review his and his wife’s financial situation.

The request surprised me. Though I felt strongly (and still do) that just about everyone can benefit from the advice of a qualified financial planner, Jim didn’t strike me as the type who would seek it out.

I told him I’d be happy to set up a meeting, but if he wanted my help, his wife would have to come too, as my group managed money only for couples who worked on their finances together.

Jim smiled. “No problem,” he said. “Sue’s the reason I’m here. She took your Smart Women Finish Rich seminar and told me I should sign up for your course. I’ve liked what you’ve had to say, and we both figure it’s time to do some financial planning. You see, I’m planning to retire next month.”

Now I was really surprised. I didn’t say anything, but as I looked Jim up and down, I doubted he could be in a position to retire. From the few comments he had made in class, I knew he was in his early fifties and had worked for the same company for thirty years, never earning much more than $40,000 a year, and didn’t believe in budgets. I also knew that he considered himself to be “ultraconservative,” so I figured he couldn’t have made a fortune in the stock market.

My Grandma Rose Bach had taught me never to judge a book by its cover. But something didn’t add up. Maybe Jim had just inherited a lot of money. For his sake, I hoped so.

“WHAT AM I MISSING HERE?”

When the McIntyres came into my office a few days later, they looked exactly like what they were: hardworking, “average Joe” Americans. What has stuck in my mind about Jim is that he was wearing a short-sleeved dress shirt with a plastic pocket protector in his breast pocket. His wife, Sue, had a little more flair, with some seriously blond highlights. She was a beautician, a couple of years younger than Jim.

The thing was, they didn’t act like middle-aged people. They were holding hands like two high school kids on a first date, bubbling with excitement. Before I could ask how I could help them, Jim started talking about his plans and what he would do with his free time. As he did, Sue kept exclaiming, “Isn’t it great he can retire so young! Most people can’t retire until they reach sixty-five if then, and here’s Jim able to do it at fifty-two!”

“LET’S NOT GET AHEAD OF OURSELVES.”

After a few minutes of this, I had to interrupt. “Guys, your enthusiasm is contagious, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves here. I’ve met with literally hundreds of potential retirees over the last few years, and I have to tell you—hardly any of them have been able to retire in their early fifties.” I looked Jim in the eye. “Usually people come to my office to find out if they can retire,” I said. “You already seem to be sure you can. What makes you so certain you can afford to?”

Jim and Sue exchanged a look. Then Jim turned back to me. “You don’t think we’re rich enough,” he said, “do you?” The way Jim put it, it wasn’t exactly a question.

“Well, that’s not the way I would have phrased it,” I replied, “but yes, it takes a fair amount of money to fund an early retirement, and most people your age aren’t even close to having saved enough. Knowing what I do about your background, I’m truthfully curious about how you could possibly have enough money.” I looked him in the eye. He gazed back at me serenely.

“Jim, you’re only fifty-two.” I said. “Considering that only about one in ten people can barely afford to retire at age sixty-five with a lifestyle equal to what they had when they worked, you have to admit that retiring at your age with your income would be a pretty big feat.”

Jim nodded. “Fair enough,” he said and handed me a sheaf of documents. They included his and Sue’s tax returns as well as financial statements that listed exactly what they owned and owed.

I looked first at their tax returns. The previous year, Jim and Sue had earned a total of $53,946. Not bad. Not rich, to be sure, but a decent income.

Okay, next. How much did they owe?

I scanned their financial statements. I couldn’t find any outstanding debts listed. “Hmm,” I said, raising an eyebrow. “You have no debt?”

“THE MCINTYRES DON’T DO DEBT.”

They exchanged another smile, and Sue squeezed Jim’s hand. “The McIntyres don’t do debt,” she said with a chuckle.

“What about your kids?” I asked.

“What about them?” Jim answered. “They’re both out of college, on their own, and God bless ’em.”

“Well, all right then,” I said, “let’s see what you own.” I turned back to the financial statement. There were two homes listed: the house where they lived (valued at $450,000) and a rental property (a second house valued at $325,000).

“Wow,” I said. “Two houses and no mortgage on either?”

“Nope,” Jim replied. “No mortgage.”

Next came the retirement accounts. Jim’s 401(k) balance currently amounted to $610,000. And there was more. Sue had two retirement accounts of her own that totaled $72,000. In addition, they owned $160,000 in municipal bonds and had $62,500 in cash in a bank savings account.

Talk about a substantial asset base. Add in some personal property (including a boat and three cars—all fully paid for) and they had a net worth approaching $2 million!

By any standard, the McIntyres were rich. It wasn’t simply that they owned a lot of assets free and clear (though that in itself was pretty impressive); they also had a continuing stream of income in the form of interest and dividends from their investments and $26,000 a year in rent generated by their second house. On top of that, Jim had qualified for a small pension, and Sue liked being a beautician so much that she planned to keep working until she was sixty (even though she didn’t need to). Suddenly, Jim’s plan to retire at fifty-two didn’t seem so crazy. In fact, it was completely realistic. More than realistic—it was exciting!

“WE INHERITED KNOWLEDGE.”

Normally, I don’t get wide-eyed about people’s wealth. But there was something about the McIntyres that impressed me. They didn’t look rich. And they didn’t seem terribly special. To the contrary, they seemed perfectly ordinary—your average, nice, hardworking couple. How could they have possibly amassed such wealth at such a relatively young age?

To put it mildly, I was confused. But I was also hooked. I was in my mid-twenties at the time, and even though I was making good money, I was still basically living paycheck to paycheck. Some months I did manage to save a little, but more often than not I’d get busy or spend too much the next month and not save a dime. Many months it seemed that instead of getting ahead, I was falling behind, working harder and harder to make ends meet.

It was embarrassing, really, and frustrating. Here I was, a financial advisor teaching others how to invest, and I was often struggling myself. Even worse, here were the McIntyres, who probably in their best year barely made half of what I was making, and yet they were millionaires, while I was falling further and further into debt.

Clearly, they knew something about taking action with their money that I needed to learn. And I was determined to find out what it was. How could such regular people have amassed such wealth? Eager to know their secret but not knowing where to begin, I finally asked them, “Did you inherit any of this?”

Jim broke out in a deep belly laugh. “Inherit?” he repeated, shaking his head. “The only thing we inherited was knowledge. Our parents taught us a few commonsense rules about handling money. We just did what they said, and sure enough it worked. The same is true for a lot of people we know. In fact, in our neighborhood, about half our friends are going to retire this year, and many of them are even better off then we are.”

At this point, I was hooked. The McIntyres had come to interview me about how I could help them, but now I wanted to interview them.

I first read the Automatic Millionaire in 2007. I immediately made changes according to the common sense advice given in the book— such as setting up bi-weekly mortgage payments. I saw it again in 2025— Kindle format. I purchased it and re-read it. For the most part my wife & I been doing everything right. But in reconnecting with the book I found that there are a few more improvements that we can make. So, we’re in the process of making those changes for a more secure financial future. This is a wonderful book containing a wealth of financial insight. I highly recommend this book.

Being about 5-7 years from retirement (hopefully) I wasn’t sure if this book would have much value to me. While I consider myself to be fairly informed on basic savings and retirement planning, I found the book to be very informative, reminding me of things that I had never done and forgotten or known but not implemented. It helped me to revise and improve my plan by deliberately targeting increasing my savings and paying down my mortgage more quickly. I have gotten a copy of the book for my daughter and am recommending it to family members and anybody else looking to improve their retirement strategy and become an automatic millionaire. Quick read that is interesting and informative with simple ideas that anybody can use!

Not bad, same classic knowledge but at a more realistic approach
Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2021
Verified Purchase
In my opinion, if a personal finance book is going to really have quality knowledge I think its got to have the core principles. Pay yourself first, get out of debt, emergency fund, retirement, etc. These are all fundamental in wealth building and this book does a great job in each chapter of breaking it down in such a way that the common man or woman with their daily lifestyle can adapt to and incorporate. While like other books it does seem to get repetitive and I often think to myself, "Oh great! Another Dave Ramsey or Robert Kiyosaki telling me the same thing blah blah blah" this one stands out because the entire premise of the book is to make everything automatic. Direct deposit a portion of your pay to your retirement, set it up so that when you give up budgeting on the 3rd month or week because lets be honest we all do, you will still be saving money that is out of sight and out of mind. While portions of the book may be repeated knowledge to some, it is an eye opener for others, at 25 yrs old I am happy to be learning these lessons now as opposed to during the next recession. Growing up in an area where in 08' seemed like every kids parent's were losing their jobs (my parents as well) it really is a scary thought thinking back to that time. Fear is what it took me to start reading financial books and this one I will throw up there with the top of them, especially in the 21st century. Read this book, you will think a lot, you will be anxious but motivated, but most of all you will be educated, and you will thank yourself later.

The Automatic Millionaire is a quick easy read and in plain language that anyone not financial savvy can understand. I purchased it years ago when it was first published and use it anytime I need financial advice. Each chapter covers different financial basics from clearing debt to buying a home to retirement planning. I’m a slightly above minimum wage worker but it helped me realize my biggest goal, buying my own home, it explained step by step every part of the buying detail. Got me watching my credit score finally over 800. That’s my success.

Practical Guide on how to build wealth
Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2018
Verified Purchase
Recently I have been enjoying reading books on saving and investing (I know, super lame lol). However this book was unlike any other book I have ever read. It hooked me immediately by making it very personal about a couple I could only hope to envision was my wife and myself in 20 years. Through some very simple story telling and avoidance of complex math and explanations, it just gives you the simple truths about investing a good portion of your wages and living below your means. I am sure many people will say “duh” at the concepts in this book on how you should put aside a percentage of your money for your future self. However this book tells the story through a couple that provides hope that you can do it yourself, which is very motivating. Read the book. You will see that you can also be successful if you make the right choices. This book was so motivating that I finished it in 3 days. I frequently get bored reading, but I couldn’t put this down.

Key Concepts:
Invest 10-20% of your wages for retirement before your take home pay. You won’t miss it.
Avoid silly debt like expensive cars and things that you might think impresses people. Nobody truly cares.
Live below your means and let the difference create wealth.

I hope the emotional effect this book had on me can work on you, and give you the motivation you need to take action to automate your finances. It is so simple anyone can do it.

Was unterscheidet dieses "Finanzbuch" von anderen? Es wird erstmals einem vor Augen geführt wieviel Lebenszeit man für die Arbeit verwendet und welchen Teil davon man für sich selbst arbeitet. Dabei sollte man mindestens 1h am Tag für SICH arbeiten, d.h. dieses Geld sollte man für sich auf die Seite legen. Und so gesehen ist man wesentlich motivierter zu "sparen" bzw. zu investieren!
Kontra: Der Vorschlag "man soll ein Haus/Immobilie für den Eigenbedarf kaufen um reich zu werden" halte ich für falsch. Siehe hierzu auch Ausführungen von Dr.Gerd Kommer in "Souverän investieren": Warum der eigene Immobilienkauf keine clevere Investition ist.
