I'm Andrew Hallam. Many people aren't comfortable talking about money. It's not usually a conversational dinner-time topic, and its principles are rarely taught in schools. My goal is to have a "conversation" about it here, on this blog. If you read something you find intriguing, please comment or ask your questions!

Great article. I remember reading this one back when it was first published, and it’s great to give it another read. It’s a breath of fresh air when I read it now as it was when I first came across it in my MoneySense mag at home.

Hey–I’m glad you liked the article Rat. You’re a very good writer; have you ever thought of writing magazine articles or a book? As a young retiree, you’d have a great story to share.

I like your club’s investment philosophy. It’s taken me a while to get to a point where I don’t get rattled when the market goes down, it’s just another opportunity.
