In this special bonus episode, David Bach sits down with his longtime friend and fellow #1 New York Times bestselling author Marie Forleo to reflect on the 20-year journey of The Automatic Millionaire – what has changed, what hasn't, and why the book's core principles matter now more than ever.

David shares the "trillion-dollar clues" behind America's explosion of new millionaires, why paying yourself first still works, and how automation remains the most powerful wealth-building habit ever created. But this episode goes far deeper than money – touching on purpose, burnout, sabbaticals, health expectancy, and the urgency of living rich now, not later.

Inside this candid, inspiring conversation, you'll learn:

• Why America now has nearly 24 million millionaires – and what they're all doing in common

• The surprising retirement crisis happening even among six-figure earners

• Whether a million dollars is still enough (and the math behind becoming a multimillionaire)

• How small daily habits – even $27.40 a day – can lead to $1-4 million in long-term wealth

• Why the Latte Factor® still sparks aha moments around the world

• The crisis in financial literacy — and why young people aren't being taught the basics

• The rise of millennials and Gen Z as powerful savers, investors, and early retirees

• How sabbaticals and mini-retirements can completely reset your life and creativity

• The real story behind David's decision to update the book – and how his late father shaped this chapter

• A final message of encouragement for readers who are ready to take action

This is more than a financial conversation – it's a blueprint for a richer, more intentional life. Whether you're just beginning your journey or recommitting to your financial future, this episode reminds you that building wealth isn't complicated...it just needs to be automatic.
