I hope your summer is off to a great start. I wanted to send you a quick note before I head out for the summer. Here are a few ideas for reading and watching, as well as a special promotion. THE AUTOMATIC MILLIONAIRE FOR $1.99 (ends June 27th). My publisher surprised me with a special summer promotion on Amazon for the updated edition of ​The Automatic Millionaire (on Kindle)​. Yes – $1.99! Less than a cup of coffee. Go grab it now before the promo ends. People are loving the update, and if you have not gotten it yet, this is your chance to (for almost free).

WHO NEEDS FRIENDS?

For my men friends, dads and anyone you love who’s a “guy”. I just read Andrew McCarthy’s book, ​Who Needs Friends​. We just read it in my Men’s Florence Book Group (yes, I have a men’s book club – it’s phenomenal). This book led to the most meaningful conversations about friendships I have had in years. It has also helped me to recently reconnect with some old friends I miss and cherish and have let “get away”. I think you will love it. THREE SHOWS TO WATCH AND LEARN FROM THIS SUMMER Mel Robbins – 5 Money Rules That Will Change Your Life & Create Financial Freedom This master class on money has been watched and listened to by over 5 million people. You can enjoy it in its entirety ​here on YouTube​. The comments are off the charts. TRULY, please show this to your kids, especially, and get them started young on their journey to financial freedom.

Comments about the show… @jenniferschmitt190: David’s book, The Automatic Millionaire, was the first book I read about finances and it set me on a path like no other! My husband and I were able to retire in our early ’50s and are now living a fun, amazing life off-grid in the middle of nowhere. We have a life that we don’t need a vacation from and we are loving where we’re at! Listen to this man. Listen to his advice and take it to heart.

@TTANK-nm6yn: This is my 10th time watching this video since January. You can’t imagine how much you fix my financial life. As I am commenting, I already have 5k in stocks, 4k in HYSA, 7K in Roth IRA. All unnecessary spending has been put off. Thank you so much.

@jessatkins22: Schools told me one thing, parents said another, and society drilled the same boring message: work hard, save money, retire someday. Then I read Riches By Design, and it felt like a hammer smashing those lies to pieces. This book doesn’t just challenge the system—it exposes it. You’ll see why so many stay stuck and how a simple shift in mindset flips the script completely. It’s not comfortable to read—but that’s why it works.

TODAY SHOW – MY FINAL RETURN

I had the great pleasure of returning to the Today Show a few weeks ago. The segment was so much fun and powerful. We talked about how to become an automatic millionaire and how to help your kids become rich. Specifically, I talked about the brand-new “kid IRA accounts ” coming out July 1st. Enjoy!

NEW PODCAST – WHY IT’S ABOUT MORE THAN MONEY…

Finally, before I go on summer holiday. Here’s a brand new podcast with my friend Arianne that just launched, called The Spirit Collective. I was her first guest and this is a podcast conversation unlike any that I have previously had. We went deep into my spirituality, faith and belief about the importance of listening to your soul. I hope you enjoy it.

Have a wonderful summer. I truly hope this finds you well and that you get some downtime to rest and relax.
