The Automatic Millionaire

The McIntyres, an average elderly couple in their 50’s that live an average life and make an average annual income. However the McIntyres have a net worth of nearly two million dollars.

David Bach explains that purchasing a house is a long term buy. By renting property one is paying someone monthly to stay at their home, by doing so they are not saving the money for themselves. When one gets a house, it is important to pay the mortgage off quickly. The fastest way to pay it off is by paying biweekly instead of monthly. By paying biweekly one is able to pay off their mortgage faster. Like other investments it should be set up to be done automatically, that way it isn’t a …show more content…

Bach explains that if one already has obtained debt the first thing that needs to be done is to stop using credit cards. It is really hard to pay off debt if one keeps adding more to the debt. One can also use the “pay yourself” method and one pays 50 percent to themselves and the other 50 percent goes to paying off the debt. By doing this one can get out of debt faster.
Chapter 8.Make a Difference with Automatic Tithing This chapter teaches the concept of giving back. Giving back is a strange concept because it seems like that would make one lose more money. However, it seems that this concept really works. When one starts he or she does not have to give a lot but like all the other chapters one can start small and slowly build up. David Bach also mentions how important it is too research the charities that will be receiving ones donations, because most use less than 50 percent on the cause people try to help. Remember to keep track of the donations because they can be a write off on taxes.

Many people feel they are being persuaded into doing acts that they don’t want to, or having judgments that they don’t believe in, all because people are used to doing what they see others do. In Chris Abani’s short story The Lottery, he was only a 10 year old boy when he got pressured into seeing a man burn and had to also spit on him. Langston Hughes was also a young boy in Salvation, when he had to lie in church, about being saved by Jesus. In the short piece Why Are Beggars Despised?

The Survival Lottery The idea of the “survival lottery” helps maximize the amount of lives that can be saved by doctors. It allows doctors to receive organ donations from healthy people, who are randomly selected to die and donate their organs to medicine, rather than having no choice but to let the innocent patient(s) die due to a lack of readily available organs. The point of the survival lottery is to make sure that as few humans die as possible, hence why it is acceptable to kill one person to possibly save two (or even more). I will argue that is not morally permissible to institute a survival lottery because all people expose themselves to different amounts of risks during their respective lives.
