W: Many people dream of making it big, buying a bigger house, designer clothes and a nicer car, but with a record number of millionaires now living right here in the United States, an age-old question is now front and center—can money really buy happiness? (1) Best-selling author David Bach is a psychiatrist and a money advisor on CNBC’s The Millionaire Inside. Going from rags to riches, he says he found happiness but it wasn’t just about dollars and cents. Morning, David.
M: Good morning, Maggie.
W: What do you think that makes people happy then, if they have no money?
M: (2) Well, I think what most Americans really want is freedom. We are in the land of the free, but when three out of four people are living paycheck to paycheck, they don’t feel free. (3) So I think there are a lot of opportunities for the average American to become what I call an automatic millionaire, which means paying yourself first, saving one hour a day of your income and spending less.
W: Do you mean that people having different levels of life all have to do the same thing?
M: Absolutely. In different levels of life, you have to survive all them, or someone really is living paycheck to paycheck. Then you have security, where someone as you might have basic means to cover. Maybe that gets six months to years with the expenses pre-set. Once you get past a year of expenses, you start to become free.
W: (4-1) You also say that happiness is not as simple as making more money.
M: (4-2) Yes. The more money you have, the more you are going to spend anyway. People don’t know how to keep their money. And people don’t know how to spend it wisely.
W: We spend so much time in our lives trying to make money. We must believe it’s going to bring us happiness. But the research you have ever done about it is a kind of mixed, isn’t it?
M: Well, the research is mixed. And I think part of the reason for that is that people acknowledge in their souls, if not in their wallets, that it won’t make them happy. Most people don’t marry for money; most people don’t pursue careers simply for the money. (5) There are a lot of teachers in America, who won’t trade their jobs for a sales job to make more. So we vote with our fit, in that sense.
This is the end of Part One of the interview. Questions 1 to 5 are based on what you have just heard.
1. What is David Bach’s occupation?
2. According to David Bach, what do most Americans really want?
3. According to the interview, which of the following is NOT the way to become automatic millionaires?
