© AssetBuilder I’ll admit that I was pretty sceptical. I met two New Yorkers in Chiang Mai, a northern Thai city that’s becoming as famous for its dental clinics as it is for elephant rides and luxurious spas. The young women claimed that they weren’t primarily visiting Thailand for a vacation, but for dental work. …

Two years ago I lay on a sofa, as a new age “hands on” healer stood over me. I was dying, she moaned, as if getting the word from some divine source in the couch. And my only salvation? To visit her as often as possible, for $175 a session. She knew that I had …

On September 11, 2006 I spoke to a group of teachers at Singapore American School about investing. I created a hypothetical account with $200,000, and I promised to track that account and report on its results. With no money added, that $200,000 account would be worth $250,549.25 by Friday, January 20, 2012 – gaining $50,549.25. …

Internet-based rumours are suggesting that the top brass at the Bank of Montreal recently held an important meeting. How were they going to deal with Andrew Hallam, the pesky author of Millionaire Teacher? It was only a matter of time, they figured, before Hallam embarrassed their bank by revealing how much money the Bank of …

Shiral Tobin, of CBC radio, recently interviewed me about investments and money. I was thrilled to explain (on national radio) about the excessive fees handed out to unsuspecting Canadian investors. The Big 5 banks hold the bulk of Canadian mutual fund business. They reap the rewards, while investors pay the hidden piper. Close friends suggest, …

When I was a kid, Tom Fitzgerald’s The Great Brain, was one of my favourite book series. The main character was a boy genius growing up in Utah during the late 1800s. He could solve nearly any problem. He once strategized how to find two boys lost in a cave network; another time, he taught …

CNBC’s Bullish on Books asks selected authors to review their own books. It’s a thrill to be asked. But I didn’t want to bore anyone over there with a dull synopsis… …so I wrote this!

Benjamin Franklin famously quipped that a penny saved is a penny earned. But he was only half right. We pay taxes on our earnings, so $1 saved is more like $1.33 earned (assuming a 25 percent tax bracket). As I mention in my book, Millionaire Teacher, one of the best ways to save money is …

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!
I am also the author of the book, Millionaire Teacher: The Nine Rules of Wealth You Should Have Learned at School
