First, the surprise >>>>> today, after two years of work, The Automatic Millionaire 20th Anniversary edition is out and in stores.

You can order the book and join me on January 22nd for a LIVE EVENT >>>click for details.​

We moved the date of this so you will have the book to read and enjoy before the call and be ready to ask your questions for 2026.

Think of it as a live book party where I will talk about investing in 2026 and will recap the year we just had.

It’s been a remarkable year.

How did you do financially?

If you are investing and paying yourself first, let’s be super clear, 2025 was a year for the record books.

I’m typing this on December 29th. Unless the bottom falls out of the markets, you are going to be very pleased with your annual returns in 2025.

Everything is up for the year in double-digit returns

• The S&P 500 is up YTD over 17%
• The DJIA is up YTD over 14%
• The Nasdaq is up 22%
• And Global Investments are up even more
• If you’re in a basic global investment this year you are up over 30%

And bonds did well and cash continued to pay a decent rate because interest rates stayed up.

You know who didn’t do well? Anyone who was not invested and watching from the sidelines.

Anyone who panicked when the “tariffs started and the market corrected” – and believed it would not come back.

Anyone who said that after two years of annual returns of 10% the stock market couldn’t go higher and stopped saving and investing.

Here’s the truth – investing is boring.

Investing automatically and paying yourself first is boring.

Really, just about everything I have taught for 33 years is not the least bit sexy.

What’s sexy, interesting and fun is the result and benefits that come with not worrying about money because you know you took care of it automatically.

That, my friend, is exciting.

Here’s to an exciting year for you in 2026 and the best of health.

And I hope I see you on January 22nd.

Again, the details are here.

Happy New Year!
