How To Invest Like Warren Buffett
Warren Buffett and I are buddies. OK, that might be pushing it a bit, but I did once ask if I could come over to his place for a sleepover and he didn’t exactly say no. He asked a friend for her opinion, but she misunderstood him, and made me the protagonist in a story …

Dear Mr. Buffett
I heard that you’re going to be airing a cartoon for kids this fall about money management. I know that you’re a humble guy and that you don’t live extravagantly.

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
