THE AUTOMATIC MILLIONAIRE SUMMARY (BY DAVID BACH)

[@RapGeneral11]

Those books always sound very rational, but have little practical value. While the numbers and facts are true, the biggest problem is that by the time you have those money, you will be 65. With the current lifestyle many people have, they wont be very healty at that time and let alone enjoying, they will probably have to spend parts of this wealth for health. Also being a millionaire in the literal sense of the word is not what people aim for - they want the lavish lifestyle, buying thier dream car or dream home - in the reality those 1-2 millions will be only invested while supplying 5% per year (around100k) which can be used to have a normal life after old age. While this may sound appealing to someone who lives now on less than that it is not the same... because no bank will loan you anything at that age, meaning you will have to save to get those dreamt items. Saving 5$ per day sounds very practical and easy to do and has the benefit of 'low entry' - people can join very easily. However, that doesnt really help a lot - it is very rare for people to persist on something for so long when the results will be visible in the later stages. Which leads to the cruel reality - you have to change your habits a lot, to leave 'under your means' in order to save and invest. Only then can you achieve satisfying results sooner or even bigger ones later. If you really want results sooner (not 10-15 years in the future, which already is very soon) some riskier and more active investments must be taken - like starting a business. Here are some numbers - it will take you 18 years investing half of your salary in order to get the same income you get now. I have used the 8% annualized return of the S&P 500 adjusted for inflation for this calculation. That means that if you are 27, you can retire on 45, while having double the standart of living you have had before. The best way for someone to become rich is to increase his income and then invest the difference. If not, you will just have some comfortable last years. What I hate is that such books come out again and again, selling the same crap like 'everyone can be a millionaire` while conveniently skipping the stuff above.

The funny part is that many people build their wealth and income selling you the idea that you can be a millionaire if you save and invest. Or starting a business. But, what if you don't want to be a business owner? You're fuc**d

[@annasad]

It’s a practical advise. Though success rate of doing a business is less than 10% and failure is 90% but that 90% is because we never attempt again. One can increase income by learning fast and failing fast and then trying again. But how many universities teach this to our kids. As a result we are limiting the amount of SKILLED people to start their business. The only good reason to live a life full of flavours is to be successful at times and then fail too. Since we are not doing it. Wealth is only concentrated in the hands of few. Why this video can not be, but hat if you invested 5$ a day in your business rather than Simone else’s business. Why give your money to someone else and keep working your ass off again for someone else. This is really creating a wealth concentration effect while forcing people to continue work non stop.

[@leverage2279]

I don't agree about Billy, Susan, and Kim.. It is said that Billy invested for only 5 years. But since Billy never really took his money out and just let it grow through the decades, then that is still investing. Billy actually invested the longest--50 years.. so that's why he won. Just because he wasn't doing any activity, he was considered to have invested only 5 years. The act of leaving the money to grow on its own is still investing. Charlie Munger said: "Sometimes the best thing to do is to do nothing." That "nothing" is not actually nothing. It is still part of investing.

My gift to my children will be having them max out their Roth and 401k the moment they begin working. I will them reimburse them the same amount until they earn a large enough salary where I do not need to assist them. Also, when I die, they can get my 401k, Roth, and rentals. The cycle of generational wealth continues, and hopefully they will do the same for their kids.

7:39 I believe the math works out with 10% annual return. With 9% annual return Susann is accumulating more money. With 8% annual return Kim is winning easily. 10% is a really high ask for annual return, even with the best ETFs. Especially when you actually want/need to cash-out at 65 but the market is currently down and might take 5 more years to normalize.

[@danmchardy6424]

10% can be achieved by buying a S&P500 index fund. That's been around about the average return over the long run. Now if you only bought index funds during recessions and periods under the trend line average, you're now looking at 20% a year. It's not hard at all.

[@danmchardy6424]

A quote from investopedia on the long-run growth of the S&P500: "There have been many ups and downs in its century of existence, but generally, the index has produced returns over the long run. Since its inception, it has returned 11.82%. You can invest in the S&P 500 using index funds and exchange-traded funds that mimic the index and not pay as much as you would for each stock."

Much, much, much rather have Kim's money than Billy's. 5% return is much more realistic for a well-diversified portfolio that has at least a small percentage of bonds, that isn't all-in on the S&P since that in itself is a major risk factor. Kim ends up with more than twice what Billy does. Of course, if you take Kim's saving habits and apply it to Billy's timeline..... heyyyyyyyyyy!

Why make a coffee when you can buy one, or indeed not move your bank accounts to places that pay more interst (yes it's becoming a thing again), or shop around for things. Just a bit of effort can help you loads financially, enough at least to invest and make more money. And don't get me started on the 'have it now' culture !

The is a serious question, I've been really depressed. I have been unable to find the answer. I invested in a property I live at, at 34yo only to find it is currently a liability and money pit. I may even lose my home. I am autistic and don't work, I am 56, in order for me to keep this modest little home, which I love, I need to make money quick, I have no skills, as my autism (undiagnosed at the time) meant I had to finish work. I looked at "Rich Dad Poor Dad" but am unsure, "too good to be true" comes to mind, so I am researching, but I fear time is running out and all I want to do is to keep my home.

Would it make a diference of a lump sum in the begining of those 5 years, or DCA the 5 dollar a day in the 5 year period ??

[@XFlyingDutchmanX]

Yes, you would have more Money in the end if you lump sum since more of your Money has more time to grow

[@David95111]

Impossible to tell tbh. If that moment was last summer or mid 2007, you would probably be much better of DCA’ing it in (though probably like once a month, because in doing it daily fees might eat you alive). On the other hand if you were in early 2003 or late 2009 you would be better off just tossing it in at once. In the current situation I expect DCA to perform better, think there’s certainly more downside from here (with pension funds just starting to be forced to sell assets for liquidity)

[@pabloorue777]

Almost always, it's better investing at the beginning, so you have more time to compound your entire money. But, if you invest just before a crysis, then the DCA strategy would result better. For example, if you invested whatever amount of money (lets say 60k) in 1/1/08 you had 65k in 1/1/13, a MISERABLE 1.73% annual return. Instead, you do the DCA for 1k every month = 60k in total, you had 77k in 1/1/13, a 10.06% annual return. Similar if you do it in 1/1/01 to 1/1/06 (55k vs 70k, you had lose money!). But those are particulary cases, in other years when market is bull, you had more return if you invest ah the beginning (example: 1/1/09 to 1/1/14, 129k vs 87k).
