Millionaire Teacher: The Nine Rules of Wealth You Should Have Learned in School Paperback – Illustrated, January 4, 2017

Millionaire Teacher: The Nine Rules of Wealth You Should Have Learned in School has been an enlightening and practical read. The author’s straightforward approach to financial literacy resonates with my lifelong dedication to learning and teaching. The nine rules are clear, actionable, and accessible, and make it easy for me to understand. I also love sharing these lessons with my children and grandchildren, and I hope they internalize these rules to build a secure financial future. This book is a must-read for anyone eager to achieve financial independence. Highly recommend!

This is not a get rich quick book. It is an excellent book on investing. One of the things about life is putting your money to work for you, and investing is one way to do that. There are some things that I appreciate from this author:* This author does not use the word "greed" in a loose way. In other words, he doesn't say nonsense like "greed is good", nor does he try to redefine greed as investing for your future and having money to do stuff with in life. In fact he points out what greedy behavior is in reference to investing. I am just tired of the misuse of the word "greed" from some authors. It does not do justice to the concepts of a successful and truly happy life. This author knows the difference between greed and successful investing.* The author does not lead you along, speaking in a vague and high-level manner, hoping to sell you expensive workshops where you can finally learn what you need to do. When you finish this book, you can implement what you learn from it. In fact, well before you finish the book, you will be able to take action. He lays it all out very clearly, and is specific in details. Also, you can take what he is writing about and research it further online. Other authors talk about things at such a high level that at the end of their book, you still don't know what to do next (except maybe sign up for their workshops and pay lots of money in hopes of them actually telling you).If you would like to further research the topic of investments, he mentions a number of books (written by other authors) that you may buy to further your knowledge, but it won't be necessary if you just want to get started investing.If you are afraid of investing, or if you are curious about investing and what you need to do and know (and what to avoid), this is the book for you. It could be your last that you'll need to get started and break through any fears regarding investing.

This book offers important information for those who are beginning their own journey into index funds. It also offers money saving tips too!

Great book. I've also purchased his other book Balance. Both are great

A best friend told me this book was his key to success. I'm from a blue collar lower middle class family and wasn't raised and educated in the wealth business but over the years long hours and hard work have served me well. I want to leave the stuff I've accumulated wisely and hopefully the wisdom in this book will multiply it and allow me to support the education of even more young minds. My friend is only a couple years older than me and is in his last days. I promised him I would read this and that's what I'm doing now.

This is a good book that everyone needs to read. Good talks about financial literacy.

Thrilled that I was able to grab the Kindle edition before the official release date!I couldn't fathom how Hallam might have improved or expanded the original but, having re-read the original only three months ago, I quickly noted the changes. I'm very pleased to see, for example, that he captured the positive developments in the investment sector: no longer are we subject only to rip-offs; throughout much of the world we now have the clean, low-cost options that Hallam had urged in the first edition. Now he guides us through the implementation of those. (Love the step-by-step guide to how to buy an ETF!) Further, sources for various statements are cited from as recently as 2015 and 2016. Last but not least, peppering the book are clean, up-to-date, real-life examples—of people very young and up.Hallam writes from the perspective of the entrepreneur, essentially, or anyone in a non-secured position. He was a teacher, yes, but abroad, and in an area without defined pension benefits. As such, he and his colleagues were required to make their money work for the short and long terms. Hallam's book is especially useful to all of us in the same boat: those who, for whatever reason, cannot rely on a typical safety net (and that's more and more of us these days). Anyone who knows or suspects they may be funding their own retirement will benefit from this book.And the humour? A bonus, making even the most money-averse among us sputter with laughter! Between Willy Wonka, Star, and the leashed dog analogies, this book made investing feel accessible to me.

Gosh, I hate to admit it but this book was awesome. My boyfriend made me read it and I grudgingly did, not thinking I’d get anything from it. To my surprise I actually understood ALL of it. And I don’t *do* math! Somehow this guy made it both understandable and palatable, which is new for me!I opened my own self managed investment account with this info and I’m on a roll! I’ve even bought the book for friends. I’d say it’s the one investment book you should read - even if you’re too pretty for math. ;-)
