Robert, at the college investor, published an interview with me about wealth, investing and my high school personal finance class.
I hope you find it interesting.

Welcome! 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.
If you'd like to find out more about my investing philosophy, read my "Nine Laws to Financial Freedom."

Andrew,
Great interview. The lesson on car buying really resonated with me. I'm a teacher and I'm looking to develop a personal finance course/unit for grades 7-9. Just wondering what kinds of things you use, any resources, etc. Thanks

Hi Matt,
The only two resources I use are my book and the internet. The kids all have laptops. I teach the course somewhat socratically, by asking questions and having kids look up possible answers. They seem to enjoy getting guided from behind this way. As for my book, they read a chapter, and then I ask them to find support to back it up (online) and something to refute it, online. We discuss the difference between online opinions and online support, based on academic studies. It's great when students ask, "Mr. Hallam, after reading all this stuff online and in your book, I don't understand why anyone….pays credit card interest….or buys actively managed mutual funds. Enjoy the course, and have fun with it. Don't bog them down with dull, written material.
