Millionaire Teacher

Millionaire Teacher shows you how to achieve financial independence through smart investing — without being a financial wizard. Author Andrew Hallam was a high school English teacher. He became a debt-free millionaire by following a few simple rules. In this book, he teaches you the financial fundamentals you need to follow in his tracks. You can spend just an hour per year on your investments, never think about the stock market”s direction — and still beat most professional investors. It”s not about get-rich-quick schemes or trendy investment products peddled by an ever-widening, self-serving industry; it”s about your money and your future.

Covering subjects ranging from retirement savings and mortgages to credit cards and debt, this book will help you balance your life goals with your financial responsibilities.

    In my view, success in every area of life, including finance, starts in the mind. Napoleon Hill said, “ whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.” A great book like Sandy Yong’s “ The Money Master: What They Don’t Teach You About Wealth and Investing” would go a long way in
    training one’s brain to have a millionaire mindset. Thanks for the opportunity and all the great work.
