About this ebook

“A three-step process to financial freedom” from the #1 New York Times–bestselling author of The Automatic Millionaire (Jon Gordon, bestselling author of The Energy Bus).

Drawing on the David Bach’s experiences teaching millions of people around the world to live a rich life, this fast, easy read reveals how anyone—from zillennials to baby boomers—can still make his or her dreams come true.

In this compelling, heartwarming parable, Bach and his bestselling coauthor John David Mann (The Go-Giver) tell the story of Zoey, a twenty-something woman living and working in New York City. Like many young professionals, Zoey is struggling to make ends meet under a growing burden of credit card and student loan debt, working crazy hours at her dream job but still not earning enough to provide a comfortable financial cushion. At her boss’s suggestion, she makes friends with Henry, the elderly barista at her favorite Brooklyn coffee shop.

Henry soon reveals his “Three Secrets to Financial Freedom,” ideas Zoey dismisses at first but whose true power she ultimately comes to appreciate. Over the course of a single week, Zoey discovers that she already earns enough to secure her financial future and realize her truest dreams—all she has to do is make a few easy shifts in her everyday routine.

The Latte Factor demystifies the secrets to achieving financial freedom, inspiring you to realize that it’s never too late to reach for your dreams, proving once again that “David Bach is the financial expert to listen to when you’re intimidated by your finances” (Tony Robbins, #1 New York Times–bestselling author).

Ratings and reviews

I was looking for a book that would help me start saving up, and loved that this is my first book about money. It was narrated into a story which let's you experience the scenario in your point-of-view. Easy to understand points. And well explained topics. Not boring! Just like the protagonist, "Budgeting" is a word that could put me to sleep. 😂 But how this book was written was fun and it feels like a short story where you can finish it in one sitting. A must read for a fair price!

Very easy to understand and very interesting story. Such a basic knowledge for those beginner out there who wants to self-learn about financial!

fresh story with a bunch of simple advises you can follow to make great changes in your personal economic life.
