You won't regret taking the time to read Andrew Hallam's new book, Millionaire Teacher: The Nine Rules of Wealth You Should Have Learned in School.

This easy to understand book on investing makes it all sound so simple and that is because it is... Read the rules and make the changes required for your own portfolio...don't wait! There is no financial investing jargon to decipher, Andrew explains everything and it is also fun to read thanks to his witty sense of humour.

This book is a gift that you will want to pass along to every young person you know to give them the opportunity to become millionaires by the time they are 40. I'm just an average person working towards retirement, I've made the changes and now I plan to pass this book along to all the people I care about so they can benefit too.

When I first heard about Millionaire Teacher, I was excited to get my hands on it. Now that I have, I couldn't imagine not owning this gem in my personal finance library!

Millionaire Teacher doesn't preach nor beg you to change your ways. It simply lays out Rules 1 - 9 so you can make that decision yourself, if you want to be wealthy or not.

The theme that runs through Millionaire Teacher is that most adults lack basic "financial literacy". It's not our fault, our educational system and our financial system are inherently flawed and working against us. That doesn't mean you or I should play victim to that environment, rather, take charge, learn and get control over your financial life. Nobody cares more about your money that you do, except maybe Andrew Hallam.

Using Millionaire Teacher as your guide, you can avoid many financial pitfalls and dark caverns, if you want to. High-cost mutual funds, massive credit card debt, sky-high mortgage costs, an underperforming portfolio and chasing story stocks are just some examples.

Millionaire Teacher is your guide to understanding the wealthy. The wealthy don't drive the best cars nor covet material goods. Rather, they follow a basic recipe of living within your means, saving, and investing wisely for tomorrow. I have read few books that distill the path to wealth creation as simple, straight-forward and as witty as Andrew Hallam has.

I encourage everyone to get their copy of Millionaire Teacher like I did, so you can avoid being schooled by the financial industry and others who want your money. My advice, keep that money for yourself, and get Andrew Hallam's book to show you how. What are you waiting for, buy this book!

This book was recommended to me by a close friend. I read at least one investment book per month - while I glean information from each one, I rarely end up implementing the strategies put forth by their authors. Hallam's book, in a very down-to-earth and understandable format, has cemented for me the index investing strategies I started moving towards a couple of years ago (after learning about the Couch Potato Strategy in MoneySense magazine). He clarified some of the questions I have been wondering. More importantly he has substantiated with ample data and commentary from leading investors, that you actually can beat the pros - even though this seems counter-intuitive at first, Hallam clearly shows that it is purely common sense once you view it from the right angle. I rarely recommend the investment books I read to friends and family, but this one will be under the Christmas tree for many of them this year.

I purchased The Millionaire Teacher a few weeks ago, and I have to say, it's worth every penny and more.

Andrew Hallam has the amazing ability to not only discuss about how he became a millionaire at a young age, but provides a thorough account of his experiences in investing in low-cost index funds and owning individual stocks.

In my view, Hallam offers the investor a fool-proof way (and easy to understand) to beat the markets by investing low-cost index funds and applying a straight-forward rebalancing approach. This is not a novel - Hallam has crunched the numbers to back his findings, and the investor will find this book to be more than just useful. In fact, it may very well change the way you invest.

After reading material from great investment legends like Warren Buffet and being featured in prominent personal finance publications such as MoneySense and Globe Investor, Hallam's book has secured a firm place in my personal finance library. A 5-star rating all the way to the bank!

After several months of waiting, I can't begin to tell you how excited I was to have finally received Andrew's new book. Andrew Hallam is one of my favourite bloggers and finance writers.

First of all, Millionaire Teacher is not your standard thick finance book that is going to take you a week or two to read through. Let's face it, mention to someone at work, they should read a finance book or an investment book, and they will cleverly begin to avoid you in the hallway or lunch room. The reason is simple. Most finance books are pretty boring to read, and aren't written for ordinary people. When Andrew started this book, he set out to write something not only informative and educational, but also entertaining and written in a style readers can relate to- and it shows!

Andrew's provides an extensive review of the mutual fund industry, and why it's a losers game with compounding fees, commissions, and lacklustre performance! This multi-millionaire sold all his stocks to invest in three index ETFs. He makes a small fortune by rebalancing and sticking with a proven index investing strategy, and so can you. And by the way, Millionaire Teacher isn't just about index investing, there be stocks and dividends here! If you are wondering how Andrew analyzes dividend paying stocks, he tells you how. The strategies which Andrew analyzes companies with, is worth the small price the book.

with Andrew's experience and knowledge in finances and investmenting, the book is not going to disappoint. Read this book before your'e 20 (it's never too late!) and learn how to do it right!

There are few gifts that a parent can find to give their adult children which will last them a lifetime - this book is that gift! I encourage every parent to buy a copy of "Millionaire Teacher" for each of their children and let Andrew Hallam teach them to take care of themselves financially. An empowered young adult, who understands the simplicity of how to build wealth, will not be bamboozled into making huge financial mistakes. Andrew's "Nine Rules of Wealth" will help them set their course for financial security so they can spend the majority of their time on making their lives rich in so many other ways. Thank you, Andrew Hallam, for your work in creating this lifetime gift for my children, nieces, nephews and future grandchildren!

So many of us simple folks have never been taught how to do finances. It is Greek to us and we do not even know where to begin. If we start talking to a finance guy he will talk circles around us and we just say yes because he sounds like he knows what he is talking about but in reality does he?? We end up feeling vulnerable and never feeling very sure about our financial future.

Andrew has given me an entire new feeling about my financial future. He has empowered me to own my money. He has taught me about finances in a way that a very simple folk like myself can understand and do. He breaks the concept of saving and investing money down in a way that I can do at home with very little effort and high returns in the long run. For me this book is truly my financial bible.

Hello Readers!
Before it's too late, please read Andrew Hallam's new book on personal finances. Traveling in Singapore recently, I had the pleasure of meeting the author, and in five minutes he had me hooked. I immediately went to the book store, bought his engaging, step-by-step guide to managing your finances. 48 hours later, I have already skimmed the book once, and read it again!

Having been fooled for years by the 'experts', Mr. Hallam's book is everything we should have known about money our whole lives, and how we can make it work for us. This is not just a book for you; it's for your children, relatives, your neighbors, your colleagues.

A MUST read!

Sincerely,
