One of the most significant investment mentors I have is a guy named Michael O’Higgins. Until last month, we had never met, despite the fact that he gave my book, Millionaire Teacher, a very kind pre-publication endorsement. O’Higgins was recently in Singapore, capping off his annual round the world holiday. We shared a few laughs …

Fourteen Percent of America’s Millionaires are Teachers
Last week, I wrote Why International Teaching Isn’t a Lucrative Gig. I argued that the average stateside or Canadian school teacher has, upon retirement, far more wealth than the average international teacher. Barron’s Business News might agree. Here’s what Robin Goldwyn published for Barron’s on Saturday, May 12, 2012. Attention, graduating seniors: One of the …

I Dislike Rising Stock Markets
Every week, my wife and I stuff our grocery cart full of food from the local supermarket. And obviously, it bothers us when the bill creeps upwards with the rising cost of food. My dislike for arising stock market, however, is far stronger than my aversion for higher food costs. After all, a soaring market …

Investors—Don’t Forget That You’re Getting Older
None of us want reminders that we’re getting older. Hairs poke out where we don’t want them, and wrinkles start making subtle road maps of our faces. Then we have our investments to think of. As we age, they need to become slightly more conservative. If you’ve been with the same investment advisor for the …

The Millionaire Teacher – My Journey to Wealth
My brother lived in the back of his pickup for five years….in Canada…with no heater. Scaling the multiple routes on The Chief - an imposing rock that draws rock climbers from around the globe – was like a religion for my brother. Weekend warriors drove to the base of The Chief from Vancouver, where they’d break …

Tie Care, Raymond James and Zurich International’s Biggest Fear
I’m pretty sure you can live on Coca Cola. Yes, it’s bad for you. But I think you could stop drinking just about everything else and sustain your hydration on sweet, sugary syrup water. You could even give it to your children. They’ll still grow taller as they age. And they might even end up …

Millionaire Teacher Reviews Findependence Day
I have a confession to make. I’m an English teacher, but I don’t read many novels. I’m a tough sell. Having said that, there are a few books I’ve recently enjoyed, like The White Tiger, the story of an impoverished Indian man who kills his boss; Shantaram, the pseudo memoir of a drug dealer who …

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
