Commentary:

"O.K. everybody knows that you should save money for your future needs. According to David Bach of 'The Automatic Millionaire,' the quick and easy way to do it is to pay yourself first. He admits this is not a new idea, but he puts a new spin on the concept. Pay yourself the first hour worked of every day, make the payment through some type of automatic deduction process, and stick with it. If you do this early, according to Bach, say in your twenties, you will achieve millionaire status, depending on your investing acumen, before age 60. Why don't they teach this to high school students? Bach also claims it is never too late, even in your 40's or 50's," Stated Sonja Rudd in Wall Street News Alert's daily commentary continued at: .
