Millionaire Teacher: the Nine Rules of Wealth You Should Have Learned in School

Publisher Marketing: Most people wouldn't expect a schoolteacher to amass a million-dollar investment account. But Andrew Hallam did so, long before the typical retirement age. And now, with Millionaire Teacher, he wants to show you how to follow in his footsteps. With lively humor and the simple clarity you'd expect from a gifted educator, Hallam demonstrates how average people can build wealth in the stock market by shunning the investment products peddled by most financial advisors and avoiding the get-rich-quicker products concocted by an ever widening, self-serving industry. Using low-cost index funds, coupled with a philosophy in line with the one that made Warren Buffett a multi-billionaire, Hallam guides listeners to understand how the stock and bond markets really work, arming you with a psychological advantage for when markets fall. Shows why young investors should hope for stock market crashes if they want to get rich. Explains how you can spend just 60 minutes a year on your investments, never open a financial paper, avoid investment news, and still leave most professional investors in the dust. Promotes a unique new investment methodology that combines low cost index funds and a Warren Buffett-esque investment philosophy. Millionaire Teacher explains how any middle-income individual can learn the ABCs of personal finance and become a multi-millionaire, from a schoolteacher who has been there and done that."

A career's worth of experiences on the sell side of the equation and practical life experiences have ignited a desire to help people realize how big a role the science of marketing plays, not only in their buying world, but eventually on all those that will follow in their footsteps. Buyers Intervention is not a dream to make everyone a "cheapskate"! It is a very real effort to help people to be themselves apart from the influences that are trying to define who you should be, what you should own or how you should look, ultimately misappropriating dollars that are, or will be, needed elsewhere.
