When I started writing Millionaire Teacher, I was laying in a hospital cancer ward bed. The most entertainment I had was when the Chinese nurses forgot to put the “catching tray” under the toilet commode. Trust me, I laughed harder than they did.

How Asia Could Fuel Our Stock Market

American Funds Losing Ground To Education
A few years ago, a representative from a large international school in Asia asked me about a couple of specific investment fund sales providers. Her teachers didn’t have pensions, and she was trying to choose a primary advisor for her school—whereby payroll deductions would be directed. One of the salespeople they were considering as their …

Welcome to My Blog!
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
