I recently received The Automatic Millionaire book and cd’s. I was reading the book and riding the fence, asking myself if I could really do this stuff. I am the sole breadwinner raising four kids. By the time I read through chapter six on buying a house I was fed up thinking I could never: 1. save 10% while 2. building 6 months emergency cash while 3. paying off my debts and 4. saving to purchase a house. What got me though was the last chapter on tithing. While our supplies are meager in this day and age, we do tithe to our church. I just want you to know that it was the last chapter of the book that inspired me. I finished the book on Sunday and on Monday I started putting 5% gross into my 401(k) plan at work. Since the company matches 50% of my contributions up to 5% gross, I am effectively saving 7.5% of my gross pay. I’ll have to pack peanut butter and jelly all week (my latte factor was $20 wasted a week!) but my wife and I are on our way! Thank you for the inspiriation and the motivation! You’ll hear more and better things from me in the future. I, make that WE, just know it! God bless.
